How much do u spend on groceries...

[GUnit33]

I spend too much.

[Carlos_E]

I didn't even eat that much when I was over 290lbs...

You have a slow metabolism. Yours is no where near as fast as mine.

[taiboxa]

I could never eat that much. It would be virtually impossible for me to eat that much in one day. That's over 5 lbs of meat per day ALONE. That, combined with your protein powder and whatever carbs/veggies you eat must make you feel like a stuffed turkey all day long. Wow. I didn't even eat that much when I was over 290lbs...

thats because fat does not need energy to maintain its state while muscle requires approximately 50kCal per day to sustain that lb in men

I have hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid). Combined with cardio If I didn't eat that much I would shrink.

Victor mapped out my contest diet. He's going to increase cals off season. He said he plans to pack some real mass on my frame. I can't wait!!!

Ahhh! That makes much more sense. I knew a lady that suffered from hyperthyroidism and she could eat like a cow and not gain a single pound. She looked absolutely anorexic and ate like crap.

[scriptfactory]

scriptfactory, I will PM you my diet. I can't post it on the open board. Just do me a favor and not show it to anyone else.

Not a problem, man.

I'm just saying I was eating a lot of food at that bodyweight and I couldn't IMAGINE eating as much food as him, let alone clean food.

[Carlos_E]

whats the sense of alerting everyone you can't or don't want to show them the diet.

It would of made more sense to just PM scriptfactory to begin with

Because I can. What the fuck do you care.

[Carlos_E]

I'm just saying I was eating a lot of food at that bodyweight and I couldn't IMAGINE eating as much food as him, let alone clean food.

Yes it's all clean foods. When I chat with people on IM they always know what I'm doing. Eating!

[Hackamaniac]

Salmon you are a lil pansy fck if i've ever seen one!

About 150 a week on groceries...and about 100 a month on supps

[audis4]

well my sister and I trade off paying for groceries. I would say in the neighborhood of $250 every week. I need to get groceries tonight!

[lightwaytbaby]

I eat 2.5 pounds of lean ground meat, 1.5 pounds of chicken or turkey breast and 1.25 pounds of fish every day.

I spend about $350-$400 on food a week. That does not include the cost of supplements. 4 pound jug of protein lasts me a little less than a week. Also add in cost for BCAAs.

wow carlos, that's amazing..just lay off the T3....J/K.

[lightwaytbaby]

i also drop about another $50 or so a week on supps, and eat out atleast once a week(im bulking), so im at about $800.00 a month, by far my largest bill...gotta love it.

[scriptfactory]

wow carlos, that's amazing..just lay off the T3....J/K.

He's hyperthyroidic. He shouldn't even be using T3... unless he wants a heart attack.

[Carlos_E]

wow carlos, that's amazing..just lay off the T3....J/K.

I don't take T3. I naturally have elevated T3 levels (hyperthyroid). It makes it hard to gain and easy to lose muscle when dieting.

[DNoMac]

I pee and shit all day long. Thank you for your concern.

Bahaha!! Me too, damn bulker. Matterfact, I'm utilizing my wireless internet right now...

[Carlos_E]

That is the best thing about wireless laptops. You can poop and browse at the same time.

[lightwaytbaby]

[IronReload04]

[IronReload04]

[IronReload04]

Welcome to contest prep. Now add in the cost of a coach and contest cycle...

[salmon1]

Is it worth it ....spending that much ?

Not trying to be brash, but just wondering bro

[IBdmfkr]

Carlos why eat so much Protein? Have you tried upping you carbs to see if it makes any difference? I'd say 250g Protein + 600carbs/day would be just as effective at bulking as say 400g protein + 400g carbs. Much cheaper too.

I was spending close to 2K/month when I was eating 10-12oz portions of meat 8times/day then dropped to 4-6oz portions and upped my carbs and noticed no difference in weight gain etc.. I think ppl way over-do protein portions, not to mention it tore up my stomach etc.. so the carb switch was a great change.

Salmon, ofcourse it's worth it to "Us".. or obviously we wouldn't live this lifestyle.

[salmon1]

wtf? I was agreeing with with somebody who thought he may take in too much protein. I don't know why you think I was being rude

You do realize that excess amino acids will get excreted through urine and crap.. and he definitely has an excess amount in his body.

Although it may be challenging to know how much he should take in a day

[*Narkissos*]

Because I can. What the fuck do you care.

Doesn't Salmon remind you of Rake?

[*Narkissos*]

wtf? I was agreeing with with somebody who thought he may take in too much protein.

Someone who was saying he's taking in too much for BULKING.

Carlos happens to be CUTTING.

Which is a beast of a totally different nature.

All your posts are rude or antagonistic...

Try sitting down..and shutting up.

Thanks

[*Narkissos*]

My food bill per week btw is $200-$300 in my currency

(equivalent to $105-$150-ish USD)

Tuna..tuna..tuna.. oats.. brown rice.. canned veggies.. more tuna

I don't use supps significantly.

Maybe a couple bucks every 2 months for a multivitamin.. and b-complex viatmins.

I posted what I'm eating for prep. Off season is different I eat more carbs. Right now I'm cycling carbs and even the high days are not that high. This is how Victor mapped out my diet. I saw a few guys today and they said I look much fuller than I did 2 weeks ago. They said 2 weeks ago I was looking flat. Victor tweaked the diet at that time. He makes changes every few days depending how I look.

[IBdmfkr]

I gotcha..
Yes, Bobby had me eating around 48-56oz of meat per day at times..
That's around 3-4lbs of meat a day... got very expensive.
