hitting my macros on 70 bucks a month. how would you do this?

[yepimonfire]

thats approx. 18 bucks a week. no whey. is it possible?

[WonderPug]

I'd recommend getting a job.

[Ace50]

Might be possible but you'd have to find a bulk supply, coupons, and buy "cheap" no brand stuff. I know oats in bulk are very cheap,

Dry beans and vegetables. It's do-able but you're going to hate your life. On the plus, your colon will be cleaner than a new Toyota.

beans have too many carbs. when i get back into the gym i'll be cutting. vegetables are not cheap and offer very little macronutritional value unless theyre starchy. as bad as it is for me vitamin wise, i eat very little of them.

Everyone knows your macros.

Then get some ultimate discount fatty meats. $70 a month is slim fukkin pickins dude; what do you expect?

[yepimonfire]

170 protein 100g fat and 100g of carbs on a cut. more carbs off a cut.

[lovingit]

I see a lot of eggs in your future.

idk. regardless this is what i'll be eating on for the next few months or until i find a job.

Too expensive $/g pro. Lean ground beef and pork are half the $/g pro (at least where I live). Cheap protein powder is usually the cheapest $/g pro you can find unless you have access to < $2 g/lb meats.

[yepimonfire]

actually, if i ate 2 dozen a day i'd get reasonably close to my protein macros and remain in a deficit. no carbs though. which could be a problem.....

a dozen eggs is about 1.60 here. so thats $3.20 a day, $3.20x7=22.40

could be a problem....

Hamburger. Stolen hamburger.

Costco - buy in bulk. Try and find 50lb bags of oats, etc.

You're just mad at paleothic1990 for thinking of the best idea ever..

[Strengthftw]

Whey protein for protein per cent is the cheapest

Peanut butter for fat

Oatmeal for carbs


annnnnd go

[PhiSig2298]

I know..

[belairdfence99]

Beans, eggs, rice, and pb.

No variety is your fortune

[Photostic]

I routinely see split chicken breast at the local grocery for 88 cents a pound.
Add on beans and rice.
Ramen for carbs
Cook everything in vegetable oil

[AdamWW]

Buy dented cans and spoiled meat.

Ramen for carbs and lard for fat. yum

[sawoobley]

Look for deals with day old bread and food that is about to expire. I'm pretty sure you can get some pretty cheap food at the 99 cent store. I'm not sure how old their cereals are though.

Volunteer to give food away to the homeless. You can call up stores like Albertsons and Ralphs and get the food from them that they are going to throw out and deliver most of it to people in need. Skim some off the top in the process. Win-win.

[jiujitsudude]

buy oatmeal in bulk for your carbs, and cheap cuts of meat. Split breast (chicken) can be bought for less than a buck a pound, find sales and stock up on what you need. The fat will come from the meat, usually cheap cuts of beef/pork with high fat content can be bought on the cheap. Especially fatty ground (old usually). If too much fat in that meat, look up how to reduce it by making crumbles and washing... the method looks like it sucks balls but if you really can't spend more than that you will have to make do.

[pretend]

Blue Ribbon - Long Grain Rice - 50 lbs - $19.79
100g = 1g F, 23g C, 3g P ($0.09)

Culver City Meat Co - 1/4 lb Ground Beef Patty (80%) - 10 lbs - $23.15
100g = 18g F, 0g C, 26g P ($0.51)

170 protein 100g fat and 100g of carbs = 1908 kcal

435g rice = 4g F, 100g C, 13g P ($0.39)
561g meat = 101g F, 0g C, 146g P ($2.86)

total: 105g F, 100g C, 159g P ($3.25) = 1981 kcal

So fat and protein a bit modified, but total calories still hit. Unfortunately, that works out to about $98/mo. If you can get the ground beef at $1.57/lb or less, then you'll hit $70.

Enjoy eating rice and ground meat for every meal!
