Cheap food ideas ??

**Chemical King** · 03-12-2005, 02:20 PM

Any1 got any cheap ways to get in calories, things like home made nutrition bars and stuff like that. I ask cos my missus is complaining that the shopping budget has nearly doubled since I started taking my training seriously.

I just said that I wanted to look good for her but failed to mention it was also for the benefit of every living female out there.

usually the neighbors dogs and pets are a good starting place.. once those are gone you can move onto their children...

.. or extend your hunting perimeter.

I live off oats, milk, rice, protein powder, ground beef, and chicken.

I tried putting some oats in with my shakes but it wasnt to good. I also tried just eating rice on its own but that tasted like crap

I'd say 75% of the stuff I force feed to myself every day tastes like crap, but I know it's going to gain me muscle so I eat it.

Good point dude. I think im gonna invest in a hand blender so the oats dont just turn into slop at the bottom of my shakes

oatmeal, brown rice, sweet patatoes are cheap as dirt. As for your meats ground beef, chicken breasts, tuna, etc.....buy them all in bulk.

Canned chicken, canned tuna, olive oil, natty PB, milk, rice

the thick chicken breast is dirt cheap. Buy a bottle of marinade to go with it so it won't be so bland. Nothing is cheaper than rice.
