19. Shrimp
Although shrimp is another food that can be expensive, it can also be very affordable when you look for deals. Especially when it comes to calories, these little guys are a bargain. A typical 4-ounce serving gives you 23 grams of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, all for a tiny 119 calories. However, in addition to a calorie bargain, shrimp contains selenium, which is an antioxidant that has been linked in several studies to a lower risk of lung and colon cancer. Shrimp also increases your good (HDL) cholesterol by about 12 percent! Choose shrimp from Canada as it has fewer contaminants. The good news here is that frozen shrimp still has all the cancer-fighting compounds that fresh shrimp has, so when you find a bargain on frozen shrimp, stock up!

20. Pumpkin Seeds
Who doesn’t love the taste of pumpkin seeds? Rich in tryptophan, pumpkin seeds can help to keep you feeling calmer, less stressed, and even improve your sleep. Pumpkin seeds also have phytosterols that lower cholesterol levels and fight off certain types of cancer. These tasty seeds are terrific at fighting inflammation in the body, and are full of powerful antioxidants. These seeds, sometimes called pepitas, also contain phytoestrogens, which regulate some of the factors that are involved in breast cancer. Just one ounce of these delicious seeds is all you need to get lower cholesterol levels as well as fight cancer. Who could ask for more?
