Join the Food Fix Challenge

Our food system isn’t designed with health in mind, but you have more power than you think. The Food Fix Challenge is about learning how to fuel your body with real, whole foods within the budgetary constraints that millions of Americans.

Eat a whole-foods diet for up to 7 days on $6 per day

Each meal should include all three pillars of a balanced plate:

PROTEIN

1 serving to support muscle, metabolism, and satiety

HEALTHY FATS

1–2 servings to support hormones and brain health

FIBER

1–2+ servings of non-starchy vegetables, plus 1 serving of starchy vegetables

This helps keep your energy steady and leaves you feeling nourished and satisfied—not deprived. No ultra-processed foods. No refined flour. No added sugar. Just real, whole foods.

Not ready for 7 days? Start with one meal. One dinner. One snack swap. Progress counts. Starting counts.
