What do you guys spend on groceries a week?

[tommywishbone]

$4.99... 2 x daily, for a #1 Supersize = $69.86 per week.

[tweeter]

just fucking around..here is my meal plan


breakfast: (protein pancakes)
2 scopes whey, 1 banana, 1 scope of oatmeal, 1 tsbp of peanut butter, 1 cup of egg whites...blender..frying pan with pam cooking spray
*my concern is that the heat is destroying the whey benefits

lunch:
  Mcdonalds grilled chicken sandwich with the double meat for $1 more..no bread

afternoon:
     6" subway tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat bread

dinner:
   salmon stuffed with crab meat (costco) or some pieces of jamian jerk chicken

I used to make protein pancakes all the time and I worried about that same thing too. Although, I have read that even though it can alter the protein, it still gets used by the body the same way once it is broken into amino acids (or something along those lines).

4 meals/ day?? wow you must be huge

do you consider a subway 6" tuna sandwich a meal?

probably around 280 calories

total cals for the day is actually not that much and I am still in a caloric defecit

And now that you're not paying TA $500/month in "consulting fees" you can afford it!

I don't really want to be one of those guys who carries a cooler around with him everywhere he goes because he thinks he will shrink if he doesn't eat every 2-3 hours. Besides, I enjoy eating out; I don't mind spending money on it.

Cool.  I'm in building so everyone has a cooler, so I don't feel out of place.  It's nice to control what I'm eating too.  I'll go out for dinner, but I prefer to eat my own food thru the working week.

Why not just drink it down straight out of the blender?

actually the solid food helps to make me feel full..also what I don't finish I can snack on until lunch

remember the egg whites are raw..

Whats the formula Tweeter? Whats the difference between his diet and weight watchers?

[SteelePegasus]

the difference is that on weight watchers you have to buy their meals.

[G o a t b o y]

Truthfully, I have no idea what I spend on food.  Bodybuilding is not expensive in terms of food though.  I could see it upping food $ by 20-30%.

Same here. The number of people actually discussing this tells me there's some poor-ass motherfucckers on this board, though!

I meant the point system, where you can eat junk food as long as you create a calorie deficit.

[Camel Jockey]

I always eat from a kabab stand, around 3.25-5.00 a day. So that's around $30.00 a week.

Plus cereal, milk, yogurt, beef, chicken, rice..

I dunno.  

Plus I love that energy drink stuff, the diet ones anyways.

Diet snapples.

Around 3 12 pack cans of diet soda.

Tea.

Coffee, espresso shots.

Around $50-80 a week on alcohol.

I don't feel like estimating.

[Rearden Metal]

About $200 a week average groceries.

About $120 a month supps

About $150 a week eating out.

think that's somewhat accurate.

[The Squadfather]

Pending you don't still live with mom and dad and do train hard.

  $140
   $70 on meat
   $40 fruits/produce
   $30 Carbs/eggs/cottage cheese

  I could never bodybuild if I didn't have a good job.  Expensive Hobie with supplements and groceries.

damn dude you need to join a Sam's or Costco, i spend 30 bucks on chicken breasts, 7 bucks on eggs and 25 bucks on steak for the whole week and maybe 20 bucks combined for the rice, oatmeal, pasta, bread etc.

Ahh, if you're dieting then I can see the solid food being good.  But what's the objection to raw egg whites?  You don't wanna be like Rocky?

Same here. The number of people actually discussing this tells me there's some poor-ass motherfucckers on this board, though! 

LOL at the destitute!

I think in your case even LESS should be spent on carbs.

Still $55 on meat.  I have thought about it.  I guess the concept of paying someone a yearly fee to shop there gets to me.

It's pretty much the same. It's just that it hasn't ever really been applied to the bodybuilding world.

And there is a reason for that. It's stupid.
