that's coles supermarket chicken, find a local market butcher and you should be able to pick it up for 7.99-8.99 per kg.

Find another one! How much chicken do you buy in a year? spending a few hours looking for the best store will save you hundreds.

Well the reason US bros pay so much less for chicken is that the way they raise them there is a lot more efficient and a LOT less healthy. Cheaper chicken, but not as good for you. I would rather pay more for chickens which don't live in cages and which aren't pumped full of hormones, antibiotic and steroids. But that is just me maybe.

you want your IFBB pro's pumped full hormones and steroids, why not your chickens?

If you have a regular butcher, chat with him, just say you're willing to purchase off him every week, what's the best price he can give you?
They usually offer a couple $per kg discount.

Personally I buy organic chicken. Its approx $15 per kg, but I dont mind.

[dom1987]

here in the uk the best price for chicken at my local butcher is £5.50/lb which is 4 large chicken breasts with the fillets still on, if u wanna go really cheap u can get asda smart price frozen chicken breast for £3.99 for 1 kg, which is about 8 medium chicken breasts, but it contains added water and salt, still as plenty of protein in it though.

Sometimes I go a day or two without meat because I can't afford it, so I go with canned fava beans + canned tunas.

0.80c ~ 1$ for a can..about 40g protein and more than 70g~ carbs.

They're life savers.

[Ajthemeso]

it's way healthier/cheaper than steak

edit: price of shakes not included

how does horse meat taste? is it like frog legs ? (a flavor of it's own and not comparable to anything else)

Try the fava beans, they're the cheapest thing ever and add the tuna. It'll maybe cost you like 5$ or less throughout the whole day.

140~150g protein + 140~150g carbs for about 3.50~4$.

But I warn you..your room will be a gas chamber, you'll have to fart every 2 seconds (the worst thing on legs day), so it's quite a disadvantage on training days and I'm being very serious, unless you can deal with that.

i'v had the same poverty meal since i started lifting and it includes one cup of beans in each meal so i think i'll be good. i'll still fart a chit ton probably lol but i'm used to it. thank you for the advice.

.

This, buy in bulk, as long as your freezer is big enough you can freeze meat for months without any worry, plus you can easily save anywhere from $3-5 a kg.

Useful video as we have a very disproportionate cost for chicken breasts here.

The cheapest option is chicken quarters which are usually £2.50 a kilo including bones (about 30-35% of the weight)

i know that feel. on the days i don't lift i go low to no protein.

So, on the days you're supposed to be repairing and actually growing, you're not eating the essential macronutrients to do so?

That makes absolutely zero sense.

[RamboJesus]

Can't buy boneless skinless chicken breast for less than 8euros /kg. And that's wholesale.

How're you Americas in so much debt when your food is so cheap?

The American government is *mainly* indebted to the American people not other countries.

[Abusername]

In South Africa I pay an average of R50/kg for filleted chicken breast, works out to about $2.2 per lb.

Beef steak, ~$4.5 per pound.

Eggs, $3.5 for 30.

[SLiX]

Its pretty simple
The minimum wage in the united states is $7.25 per hour

National minimum wage for adults in australia

Currently the full-time minimum wage is $15.96 per hour or $606.40 per week. This means that most employees in the national system shouldn't get less than this.

Casuals covered by the national minimum wage get an extra 23% ($19.63 per hour).

Hence why chicken breast cost $9 - $10 for 2.2lbs (1kg)

[MusclePunisher]

No.

I feel violated...

[red_cat]

Nice video. Wouldn't trimming the fat off of the thighs like Evan did basically make them the same fat content as a chicken breast, though?
