Short with money but wanna get big?

To them who are low on money, unemployed or just an genuine tight ass like myself :D. Heres a poverty meal plan for ya..

120g Beef or 105g chicken breast. (25g protein)
90g Oats. (54g carbs) (7g fat) (10g protein)
30g Peanut Butter. (2g carbs) (18g fat) (8g protein)
25g Powdered Milk. (13g carbs) (0 fat) (9g protein)
Eat that^ 4x per day.

This will give you just over 3,000 calories so if you require more you may have to splash out abit more on snacks or fruit for inbetween meals.

This will cost you around $17 for the week. (Unless you buy more snacks)

Honestly, when I'm away in thialand or anywhere abroad this is all I will consume (not included with the alcohol ;):rolleyes:) and I come back bigger!

Hope this helps :cool:

Have to disagree with you there, I use a company to prep. My shopping bill has been cut in half, and the variety is endless. They buy in bulk so make huge savings compared to average joe.

If I was to buy all the food they prep me it would cost a lot more than my weekly bill..... Then I would have to prep. Can't put a price on pre prepped meals.

Serious ? How many calories you dieting on? Every company I've looked at is charging way over $300 for 4 meals a day for only a week.
 
I get 3 prepped meals a day. And add 3 (breakfast, post workout, and last one before beds) with a shake or 2 depending if I can get 2 down throughout the day, at about 5000 cal

And only costs £70 pw. Not sure what that is in $

There are company's that charge a fortune, but if you shop around and mention other quotes you can bring the price right down.

There's also a good variety with the meals, fish, white/red meats, veg

Only recently stated to pay for meal prep, prepping my own got old, and found myself eating convenience foods on some days

No vegetables?? Do you realize how deficient you will become because the vitamins are not present to round out this "diet"? How much does broccoli cost where you live?

So about $100 USD per week PLUS 3 added meals. Its a bit cheaper but I dont see the big cost savings unless youre on a bulk. Time i guess is also a factor and can be argued perhaps, so i see that as a bonus.
 
Mainly the time saved prepping that's the life saver for me, I work continental shift pattern in work, so once I have finished a 12hr shift I can just open fridge grab a meal and head to the gym.

Just made life that little bit easier

I usually just buy spinach, a bag of spinach is cheap too. Although it is important for your health, they won't do much in terms of body composition which this thread was really all about.
 
Huh?? Spinach is a superfood. Per calorie, it has more protein than ground beef. And its packed with Vit A and lots of Vit C. You want to look like Popeye dont ya? ;)
I already look like him buddy. 21inch arms and low bodyfat ;).
Infact what you should do is say to your doctor "never mind all the gear I'm on" I eat broccoli so my health is intact LOL !
 
It dosent matter how BIG you are. How HEALTHY are you? Some of guys are so fuked in the head over how much you weigh or how big your arms are that you neglect your health. Your big big arms wont help you when youre lying in bed because your body is so depleted of essential vitamins and nutrients. Just ask those big tough men who died of starvation...with full bellies of rabbit meat. This is a crude example but im sure you get the point.

And btw, throw some legumes in their for fibre too. Canned kidney beans, or simply beans with tomato sauce is better than nothing for fibre.

I get blood work every 3 months and I'm perfectly healthy right now pal. I'll keep eating my so called shitty diet and stay big and strong. Have a good one.

Whats your meal prep company?
 
Either a costco, bj's, etc. membership.. Also after a while you start to know where to buy certain things because you know its cheaper at place a vs place b
 
@NoScopeKen - Great low budget items. Those are definitely staples to have on hand. I like those choices but also run to Sam's club and pick up a 10 pound bag of sweet potatoes for like 6 bucks.
