Title: what is the cheapest way to eat and still get maximum gains?
Post by: anabolichalo on June 26, 2016, 10:36:33 AM
i've been eating a kilo of chicken breast a day for years with about half a kilo of rice

is there a cheaper way?

Makes no difference really what you eat.

Just pick a caloric amount and fill it.  You will choose foods that you like by default and you will look the exact same if you were to try to limit your choices.

Makes no difference at all.  That SHOULD help.

A can of Tuna and a tub of cottage cheese mix surprisingly well for a high protein lunch.

You can easily if you know how to buy directly from farms or even find a Mexican meat market that raises their own chickens.

How did you arrive at this conclusion?  Have you shot and eaten both ways?  I'd be very interested in hearing the stories.  Also, how many times have you conducted this experiment?

chicken killed in other countries can only be sold in the US as precooked. So, if you are buying frozen chicken, you are more then likely eating some nasty bird.

About 3 bucks a pound for frozen chicken breast.  About $45 a week.  The rice is what, another 15 max?  So all this discussion bitching is about a $60 a week grocery bill?

You can make at least that much in 1 day panhandling.  

$200 week on groceries is $10,400 a year.

$200 week on groceries for ONE person. What are you buying yourself? I can get by spending like $50 a week. Then again, I am not a big meat eater and I don't gorge myself with meal after meal, with huge portions.

Maybe 200 for a couple with a kid.

you're telling me you can live on $7 per day spending on food, comfortably

Yes.

If i buy a few bags of spinach and salad and assorted vegetables, that lasts me a few days. I eat smaller portions these days and eat less frequently. Remember, during the day, I only eat one time, then I eat again at night. Then a few snacks here and there. And I only drink water. And I don't waste any food.

When you don't needless buy food and don't waste food, you'd be surprised how much money you can save. Everything I buy I consume. We buy too much, eat too often, and eat too much.

Research shows: "The cost of feeding a family of four a healthy diet can run $146 to $289 a week, according to the latest numbers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture." So, lets pretend 4 people cost 200. How much should one person cost?  ??? ???

I just found this from the USDA

Weekly cost for 1 person age 19-50:

Thrifty:43
Low cost:55
moderate cost: 70
Liberal: 86

So, let me bump that up. I probably spend between 50-70 a week, lets say 60. If I spent $86 dollars per week on food, Id be throwing a lot out.

I didn't say I spend $200 a week, just picked a figure 3 times what was being discussed to show that even that only amounts to a pittance in a year overall.  BUT since you mentioned it, think about how little extra money it is to eat like a king.  Think of how much more money people waste on silly shit.

I live in NY, shop at shoprite. A typical bag of those greens is around $3 minimum, and they have like 40 total calories per bag, that's like living on air. Buying just a couple of those already is near or exceeds your initial $ daily allowance. And shoprite is like one of the cheaper stores.

Yes a spinach salad for lunch and then something unspecified but "light" for dinner.  The caloric intake of a skinny 70 yr old woman.  Probably also enjoys a nice bowl of soup on a drizzly day.

I live in NY too. I also buy some fruits and veggies and I am good to go. I don't eat much.

If I spend 60 a week, and I buy 5 bags, that is 15 bucks and leaves me 45 for fruits and veggies. I buy oatmeal and pasta in bulk from Costco and it lasts me a while.

You seem to be very concerned or discomforted by my diet.  Thank you for your concern.

I think I've already said this but my older brother is vegan (but not an ass about it!  ;D) and grows a lot of what he eats.  He's healthy too.   Trains a couple of times a week on H.I.T. and enjoys life with his wife in Oregon.

As I said, we buy far too much and waste far too much. Its also about portion control. In America, we gorge ourselves. Ive been eating A LOT cleaner these days, smaller portions. It really has helped me physically. You don't waste any food and save a few bucks.

I don't eat as much of anything as I did just five years ago.  I am nearing 60 and while I will continue to train, I must do so within reason.  I do have a very fast metabolism and it has been this way all my life.  I've been told by doctors, "Just wait until you turn 18...21..25...30...40... 50".  My maternal grandfather had the same "problem" and was a rail until he passed away and that was with drinking up several 2,000+ calorie shakes (made by my mom) a day.

I eat until I am full, then I stop.  Until I am hungry again!    ;D

The only supplement I take is one of those pre-workout concoctions.  Either that or a Monster Energy Drink.  ;D

For most adult males, that isn't a reasonable figure. I live in midtown nyc, too. SF1900 actually changed his diet in part because of things I said to him in a previous thread, but the truth is cutting down on meat and placing an emphasis on vegetables in your diet isn't going to save you a ton of money. To make filling meals, it's virtually a wash in terms of price and  it's far more time consuming. If he's saving money, it's not because he's on a veggie centric diet, it's because he's taking a very minimalist approach to eating that a lot of people would consider too restrictive. There are a LOT of benefits to cutting down on meat consumption, but saving money is not one of them. This really gets driven home if you have to eat out. There's a deli downstairs from our apartment where a tossed salad and a burger and fries with a free can of soda are the same price. With the exception of Indian places, most middlemarket places that have good vegetarian food are more expensive than places that serve meat entrees.

I don't know why you keep saying this.  ??? ??? It's not true. But, hey, whatever makes you sleep better at night.  :D :D If you feel like you helped me, that is all that matters.

And, yes, a large part of my savings is more of a minimalist approach. I began to only buy food that I know I will eat and won't get bad and get thrown away. I don't eat six times per day any more. And I eat much smaller portions (I do not gorge myself any more).  And, Ive also been engaging in bouts of intermittent fasting.

In several threads, you have repeated the same semi-vegetarian talking points I directed at you less than 6 months . Sure, there were almost certainly other factors, but just the fact that you repeat so closely what I said makes it pretty clear that you took what I said to heart. Don't know why you're making this an issue.   ???

Also, what you eat has no effect on how I sleep at night.

 ::) Aren't you like 30 and allegedly work out regularly? How could your blood work have been so bad that your doctor would recommend cutting out all food aside from 2 salads a day?  You've mentioned several reasons over the course of several threads  about why you switched to a veggie- centric diet. None of them were " doctor's orders". Many of them were things I've said to you in the recent past.

A lot of research points to 1.3g protein/lb bw. (The Protein Book by Lyle Mcdonald). Also, it's been shown that the protein source does not matter.
Egg whites, tuna, chicken breast, low fat cottage cheese, red meat sometimes. Rice, brocolli, asparagus, esentially most of the veggies carry small amount of calories and will fill you up. 20mg of oxymetholone/day for 6 months, low amount of alcohol or other liver metabolized compounds and you're good to go.
Or 37.5mg tren eod for 6 months would be even better. Don't forget HCG, 250IU 2x/week to keep the boys in check. Pause every 6 weeks for 2 weeks off and 10mg tamoxifen/day during this period to resensitize testes to HCG.

::) Aren't you like 30 and allegedly work out regularly? How could your blood work have been so bad that your doctor would recommend cutting out all food aside from 2 salads a day?  You've mentioned several reasons over the course of several threads  about why you switched to a veggie- centric diet. None of them were " doctor's orders". Many of them were things I've said to you in the recent past.

But, sure, whatever I need to tell myself.    ;)

1. I tend not to discuss personal matters on Getbig, so why would I disclose my medical history? But for the sake of this discussion, I did, but I generally do not. Thus, why I did not initially mention it.
2. The only thing that was slightly elevated was my cholesterol, but I'm more on the anxious side, so I take things to extreme.
3. He did not recommend me only eating 2 salads a day. They provided me with a general framework to lower my cholesterol, and since I'm anxious, I just took it to the extreme.
4. All of my information and current diet came from reading peer-reviewed articles on this topic.

But, hey, whatever you have to tell yourself.  :D

For most adult males, that isn't a reasonable figure. I live in midtown nyc, too. SF1900 actually changed his diet in part because of things I said to him in a previous thread, but the truth is cutting down on meat and placing an emphasis on vegetables in your diet isn't going to save you a ton of money. To make filling meals, it's virtually a wash in terms of price and  it's far more time consuming. If he's saving money, it's not because he's on a veggie centric diet, it's because he's taking a very minimalist approach to eating that a lot of people would consider too restrictive. There are a LOT of benefits to cutting down on meat consumption, but saving money is not one of them. This really gets driven home if you have to eat out. There's a deli downstairs from our apartment where a tossed salad and a burger and fries with a free can of soda are the same price. With the exception of Indian places, most middlemarket places that have good vegetarian food are more expensive than places that serve meat entrees.

I agree. Produce is in general is not that cheap, plus it is low in calories and doesn't sustain. I would think with such a low budget, you're looking at beans and rice, canned fish, other dry grains, peanut butter, and cheap canned stuff.  and even that can easily creep up in price. You gotta eat.

I think it's great whenever anyone does anything to benefit their health, but I think it's disingenuous to pretend you don't understand how other people would have higher grocery bills because you've been following an abnormally strict diet for a short period of time.

The thing is this isn't just me claiming to be the first person to follow a particular diet and anyone who does the same thing is copying me and should credit me. We actually conversed on the topic. He said that he considered becoming a vegetarian but it would be too hard. I told him to check out a particular vegetarian restaurant in NYC and that one option was to just do a more veggie-centric diet (which is what I do) because even that would have benefits. Then a few months later, he makes an about face and is repeating what I told him in different threads. I'm not saying I'm the only factor, but what he's been saying is so derivative of the things I said to him that it's impossible not to realize they're linked. To be honest, I get the defensiveness. We have a relationship that is sometimes contentious and I often point out when he's wrong about things, so I get that it would hurt his pride to admit I actually impacted his life off of the board...which was the entire reason I brought it up.  :D

eggs and oatmeal for breakfast, tuna and poptarts for pre-workout meal. 2 scoops whey and pop tarts or oats post workout, chicken and rice for 3rd and 4th meal, ground beef and rice for 5th meal.

I eat for well under $500/month including eating out once/twice a week. It helps if you don't waste $ on things like diet soda and energy drinks etc. but I still do buy VPX Bang by the 12 case.

Makes no difference really what you eat.

Just pick a caloric amount and fill it.  You will choose foods that you like by default and you will look the exact same if you were to try to limit your choices.

Makes no difference at all.  That SHOULD help.

8 cans of coka would not accomplish that.

found comfort that gear will prevent catabolism and my chicken and rice is waiting for me at home

i guess as long as i get all the food in, the time between meals, and size of meals doesnt matter right ???

the rest of it was basically just talking bout shit you did that day, unless you mean this question: "what about if the time between meals is 2 days? what then?"

and if so then once again it's about getting your daily calories in each day so if you don't get them in one day you could probably make up for it the next day coz if you are trying to lose weight it's the same fucking thing and i'd say it's even by week rather than be day

for example if your fat loss diet is 2000 a day that's 14,000 a week, so if you fuck up one day and eat 5 grand then you gotta make sure to eat less other days to keep your weekly cal intake at 14,000 in this scenario

Post by: cephissus on June 29, 2016, 04:26:02 PM
I think digestion efficiency varies with a lot of factors, like size of meal.  Bber C will digest less of the food than bbers A and B, because his meal is so large.

Bbers A and B probably won't see much difference, especially short term.  Long term I think A might have fewer issues, but who knows.  The difference may only become significant at larger intervals (e.g. bber C, who would certainly be worse off).

Post by: Erik C on June 29, 2016, 04:47:52 PM
@halo: Bodybuilder A makes the best gains, provided the food he eats, supplies the building blocks for muscle tissue, namely protein and fats. Eating 6 times per day, or every four hours, provides the body with the materials it needs to build muscle tissue around the clock. You can go back to Vince Gironda with his every four hour muscle protein "feeds," so this isn't new. Eating the same amount once per week, or once per day, just won't be as efficient for building muscle tissue, as the building materials won't be there for muscle building, for the body to use. The body doesn't have a storage pouch for keeping protein around until you need it, except in muscle tissue, and that would be a zero sum game in terms of muscle building. At very best, you would only maintain, rather than build. And, although the body can store body fat, it can't access your body fat for anything other than energy.

It depends on the person. My metabolism is slow as fuck if I eat only once a day. I have done the 6 times a day, and I get the same results eating 3 times a day and tapering carbs. Plus eating 6 times a day is too hard when you are working.

what's your daily caloric intake at nowadays chief?

and you actually count all this shit out?

i just eat less if my skinfolds get too high and more if i want to add size, but i won't let myself go over 9-10%, right now i'm sub 6 with veins on my abs

the last few days i've eaten at surplus but i don't really know how much over, once i get lean ie. sub 6% i can eat like shit for about a week or so, and then it starts to fuck me up

some eyetalian-american, his name is delmonte i believe, proposes cyclic eating, basically get down to sub 6 and then eat at surplus, for maybe 2 or 3 weeks til you hit 8-10% and then diet back down again to sub 6, i think it's a good plan but who the fuck wants to mess with all that shit, going up and down like that week after week

@halo: Bodybuilder A makes the best gains, provided the food he eats, supplies the building blocks for muscle tissue, namely protein and fats. Eating 6 times per day, or every four hours, provides the body with the materials it needs to build muscle tissue around the clock. You can go back to Vince Gironda with his every four hour muscle protein "feeds," so this isn't new. Eating the same amount once per week, or once per day, just won't be as efficient for building muscle tissue, as the building materials won't be there for muscle building, for the body to use. The body doesn't have a storage pouch for keeping protein around until you need it, except in muscle tissue, and that would be a zero sum game in terms of muscle building. At very best, you would only maintain, rather than build. And, although the body can store body fat, it can't access your body fat for anything other than energy.

your post was filled with so much bullshit it didnt even deserve a reasonable thought out response.
Just eat a normal diet and have 4 meals a day, eat a bit extra if you want to gain and a bit less if you want to lose, the training builds the muscle not the food.

I eat 150gms of protein most days and am around 220lbs at around 9%

if you eat all the protein in the world and dont exercise , fuck all will happen to you

I highlighted the bullshit in your post. Not eating the right foods, gets zero results.

a calorie is a calorie is a calorie so says Arthur Jones, ta, and this here fella

fyi, i know him personally and he has a 700 pound bench to his credit and when dieting he eats roughly 80 grams of protien and maintains his size and power/strength

drugs and training are the key, diet is only cals, nothing more and nothing less

Calorie is a calorie is nonsense. It is a misuse of science, to sell high carb foods, and supplements.

Go to store, buy as much spinach, kale, ginger, ground beef, eggs, and sriracha (for condiment) you can afford, eat this 6 days a week. 7th day eat a ton of pasta and rice which are both cheap. Very inexpensive and effective

Or eat anything you like making sure you get some protein and eat around 300-400 cals over your maintenance if you want to gain size or 300-400 less if you want to lose weight.

Who the fuck wants to eat piles of fucking kale and ground beef?

Tarnopolsky et al. (1988) found that only 0.37g/lb was required to maintain positive nitrogen balance in elite bodybuilders (over 5 years of experience, possible previous use of androgens) over a 10 day period. 0.45g/lb was sufficient to maintain lean body mass in bodybuilders over a 2 week period. The authors suggested that 0.55g/lb was sufficient for bodybuilders.

Hoffman et al. (2006) found no differences in body composition, strength or resting hormonal concentrations in strength athletes consuming either 0.77g/lb or >0.91g/lb over a 3 month period.

Lemon et al. (1992) found no differences in muscle mass or strength gains in novice bodybuilders consuming either 0.61g/lb or 1.19g/lb over a 4 week period. Based on nitrogen balance data, the authors recommended 0.75g/lb.

Walberg et al. (1988) found that 0.73g/lb was sufficient to maintain positive nitrogen balance in cutting weightlifters over a 7 day time period.

Tarnopolsky et al. (1992) observed no differences in whole body protein synthesis or indexes of lean body mass in strength athletes consuming either 0.64g/lb or 1.10g/lb over a 2 week period. Protein oxidation did increase in the high protein group, indicating a nutrient overload.

Another frequently heard objection is that people need more protein because they are more experienced than the studied populations. Well, Tarnopolsky et al. (1988) used elite bodybuilders and found that less protein was needed than in novice bodybuilders.

 

In fact, the finding that the more experienced you are, the less protein you need, has been replicated in several studies (Rennie & Tipton, 2000; Hartman, Moore & Phillips, 2006; Moore et al., 2007).

The problem is that those are one off studies, that haven't been duplicated, the basis of science is repeatable results.
