$350 in one week? What the hell do you buy?

I mean that is just insane. Either you eat an amount of food comparable to an orca whale or you are shopping at the wrong place. I eat steak for 2 meals each day and it only costs me maybe $40 for the steaks (eye round).

**lightwaytbaby** · 10-19-2006, 09:50 PM

no bino, tai spends all his money on oreo's...j/k...

**C_Bino** · 10-19-2006, 10:21 PM

LOL. I forgot about those Oreo's bro. I guess the double stuffed ones cost a lot.

BTW my bill is about $75 per week. I mean meat does cost a fair bit but potatoes/yams/oats etc dont cost much at all. So it's really not that bad.

**IBdmfkr** · 10-19-2006, 11:51 PM

Normally around $1K/month on the offseason, but I don't supplement or eat out so everything I eat is what I've packed the night before.

Figure around 4-5$/meal, 8meals/day = 30-40$/day. 35$ x 30days = $1050/month.

**sooners04** · 10-19-2006, 11:56 PM

$250.00 month on food maybe another $100.00 on supps

You're nuts man!

By myself in college, about 75-85 bones a week.

**guest589745** · 10-20-2006, 12:02 AM

$175. a week for me and my family, at least. I eat a lot more than them though.

**chest6** · 10-20-2006, 12:29 AM

last month $750..

not good cuz i dont make that much in a month workin part time..ive been eatin a shitload of chicken lately

**paulzane** · 10-20-2006, 02:06 AM

Maybe $2 a month on oats. The company I work for supplies all our food. I buy a few cans of oats for weekend breakfast when I cannot be arsed to go to the canteen. The rest is a great supply of good food..... all you can eat and more.

P.S. You should see what shit the fat bastards here eat! (And there are plenty of those)

**zimmy** · 10-20-2006, 02:09 AM

you guys ever notice that shit food is so much cheaper than clean food? :\

**big L 17** · 10-20-2006, 02:10 AM

about 150 a week good thing my mom pays for my food i coudnt afford it

**Flagg** · 10-20-2006, 03:42 AM

Hmm, discluding suppliments I can spend 50 quid on food that'll last me two to three weeks.

Buying steaks is a joke..what I tend to do is wait till someone like Sainsbury gets those vacume pack beef joints on Half Price special offer, buy a couple of the big bastards at 30 pounds for the two of em (i think that's about 9-10 kilos of red meat in total) and then take em home and cut them up into 250-300g steaks. A lil bit of work but WAY cheaper than buying individual steaks.

***perfectbeast2001*** · 10-20-2006, 04:51 AM

I spend £130 a week. That is for me,missis and kid. The kid eats shit though, I try and get him healthy but the missis just buys him crappy chips and stuff. Hey at least its cheap!

**Mizfit** · 10-20-2006, 05:40 AM

cheap as chips..

**Carlos_E** · 10-20-2006, 09:22 AM

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.

During contest prep no I don't eat out. I cook all of my meals. Off season eat out. I love Puerto Rican and Jamaican food. It's easier to order out than cook it at home.

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...

so you'd have to average 259grams of protein a day to finish that tub in 7 days.....

I do 320 grams a day. It's why it does not last a week.
320 * 7 = 2,240 grams

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!!!
