• Things You Do On A Tight Budget

Nutrition: For me the biggest thing is getting enough calories that aren't in gooey fast food to keep my body running efficiently (plus I love it when women stare at me). One thing I make is what I call "Yoatmeal," which is when I fill up a bowl with yogurt and stir raw oats in it. It tastes surprisingly good. Eggs... I force feed myself a shitload of eggs. I also freeze fruits that aren't in season because I live in the Midwest. I also live next to an off-brand grocery store that sells bags of chicken breast for cheap. Exercise: I don't pay for a gym membership, or have weights, other than a 100 pound weighted vest. Finding equivalent bodyweight exercises to iso exercises isn't that hard to do, and adding weight allows me to increase the intensity pretty easily.

my tight budget and my regular budget don't really differ in my meal variation -- i eat minimalist anyways (baked chicken breasts, some rice, some veggies) so it ends up being pretty cheap around the house. i do pig out every weekend though.
This is e-z Stop buying shit you dont need (protein powders, BCAA products ESPECIALLY, pre-workout shit) Buy bulk rice buy bulk cheap fish (tilapia or something) Stop being afraid of "fatty" cuts of meat. Shit is cheap because pussies don't want to buy it, not because its actually low quality. Meanwhile every man and his dog buys chicken breast which will quickly put you firmly in the "im a poor cunt" camp. The amount of good quality protein that goes to waste because people are still psychologically scared of dietary fat is shocking. Spend the money you wouldve wasted on BCAAs on good fruit and some fish oil. Get instant coffee and sugar free soda for pre-workout. Or just buy some caffeine tablets. Congrats I just saved you megabux on stupid bullshit. Instead of buying an overpriced multivitamin, go outside and take your shirt off. shave ur head for that maximum vitamin d game.
Lol BCAAs is the biggest joke I've ever fucking seen and whenever I have a friend who buys BCAAs or Glutamine after I EXPLICITLY told them that shit was useless just makes me laugh, it's their wallet going down the drain, not mine.
I like some of the stuff on fitmencook.com because the stuff tastes good enough to prevent my wife from buying too much junk food behind my back. I've also been a bit artsy lately and have figured out some stuff that my wife likes. Seriously, I don't get women; they bitch about the fact that they're gaining weight, but give up the second it becomes difficult at all. I don't drink anything but water and almond milk and I barely drink any almond milk (I can't have certain dairy products). I don't really fuck around with the chemical bullshit, especially because there always seems to be some fad with that and fads are almost never effective. If it doesn't grow out of the ground or walk around, it's not something we evolved to eat. For protein, I gorge on grilled chicken, which is cheap in Minnesota, and I eat a bunch of eggs, which are really cheap.
Whole grain/Multi grain bread or rice for carbs Eggs and chicken tits for protein, some whey if i need to do some compensating. Costco vitamines and broccoli Drink only water
