thats about it.. oh, and coffee to get up and beer to get down.

All pretty inexpensive when you keep the choice cut steaks, greek yogurts, coconut milk, all that good shit to a minimum if ever.

As for frozen chicken breast, rice, and fish oil.. whatever man.. You'll eat that for about 2 days and be ordering from Dominos before you know it. Gross.. What are you going to do, heat them up on Foreman an scrap that brown crap off the meat before dipping in some sauce?

[sean]

you re a parasitic loser who survives on werfare while black bitch with a low self esteem is paying the bills. You spend your whole life pretending to be someone you arent on the internet, . You re delusional, immature and insignificant. Grow the fuck up.

Sounds like its time to take your advice uberduche.

[calfzilla]

tbombz I feel that if you just buy chicken and rice you will get tired of it and not having anything else on hand you may be likely tempted to eat out more and even eat fast food that can be very expensive. 

[tbombz]

i dont have money to order dominos or go eat out

chicken breast are the cheapest source of protein i can find  and white rice the same.  for fat intake 10 capsules of fish oil per day. 8 dollars for 400 caps so 40 days of fat intake for 8 dollars. 25lbs of rice will last me like 20-30 days depending.  chicken breast i eat one every 4-5 hours. id like to eat two every 5-6 hours but cant afford that. i have a giant salt shaker that i use on the chicken and rice.

i dont get bored of chicken and rice. wish i had more actually

how many grams of fat is in 10 capsules?  like 20-40?  how many calories do you eat per day?  seems like a very unusual macronutrient distribution to me...

how many grams of fat is in 10 capsules?  like 20-40?  how many calories do you eat per day?  seems like a very unusual macronutrient distribution to me...

the caps are 1.2 grams each.. so 12 grams of fat..  i dont know how many calories.. probably 2500.. i dont know... i eat a shit ton of rice.. like 500 grams of carbs per day probably.. i dont measure it or anything though i just eat a tupperware container full of it with ech chicken breast.. and after my workouts ill eat 2 or 3 tupperware containers full... rice is cheap..   yeah i dont get very much fat in my diet but its ok since im taking in the fish oil and getting my omega 3's...  the chicken gives me a little bit of omega 6's.. and i thnk the fish oil has some omega 9 as well

I would mix your foods up Tbombz as it's no fun eating the same boring foods every single fucking day.  You will feel as though you are on a prep diet after a couple of months.

Who the hell is going to buy overpriced milk online?

So far, I've had over 30 orders....I've lowered the pricing to compete with other health food stores and I've got the shipping fees under control.  I'll be adding another 4,000 products soon

I'd wager good money that some poor fella licked that sumbitch clean and loved every second of it.

Probably from serial killers hoping a challenged, black man would hand deliver it.

kahn posted it already... you should PM lobstah, she seemed interested

but dude, you claim to eat about 2500 calories?

well, let's just take a look at this:

500 grams of carbs from (white) rice = roughly 9 cups = about 2250 cals



 + lets say 4 chicken breasts, at about 8oz each = 1400 calories



+ 10 capsules = 12 grams of fat = roughly 110 calories

so, as we can see from the labels, you're eating roughly:

chicken: 50 grams fat, 230g protein, 15g carbs.  total: 2250 cals
rice: 10g fat, 45g protein, 500g carbs                  total: 1400 cals
fish pills: 12 g fat                                                  total: 110 cals

for a grand total of:

62 g fat, 275 protein, and 515 carbs = 3760 cals

which means about 14% fat, 30% protein, and 60% carbs

yes i know the numbers are a little off cause i used a lot of rounding, but

1.  lol @ 2500 calories
2.  14% fat is way below any recommended value i've ever seen.  almost everyone suggests between 20-30%.  but, as we all know, the fitness world is tremendously overabundant in bullshit, so i wouldn't worry about it too much.
3.  just another case of a "bodybuilder" giving out completely random numbers that "sound right."  no wonder everyone is so fucking confused when they look online for advice.

Lobstah likes big bubble butts.  PM her Tbombz     You might want to get a razor though for the bum fluff.

I eat 2500 calories on workout days, 2000 on non-workout.  How do I know?  I count them accurately.  VERY few people do.

[OneMoreRep]

Taylor,

Aside from the chicken & rice, you can always buy a generous supply of eggs and make:

Scrambled eggs

Fried eggs

Hard Boiled Eggs

Get chickens so you have fresh eggs and when they are not doing there work wring there necks and cook them 

[local hero]

The biggest thing I have learned without reading this thread:

#1 get together with buddies and buy in bulk directly. This means going to a chicken supplier, buying 100kg at a time and buy big. You will have to put out a crap pile of cash but you will save tens of thousands in the long run.

I am currently paying about 6 bucks a kilo for chicken that sells for 16-17 in the store. Bonless skinless chicken breast.

#2 learn to cut your meat yourself, this means buying whole sides of cow, selling what you dont want to family to cover the cost of your cow, and keeping what you want.

#3 check out the asian markets, they quite often sell rice in 50kg bags! and thats a shit pile of rice bro! but its the same price as your 2kg bag!! wow...lookout costco.

#3 watch for sales on stuff, superstore here sometimes has 2 breasts of chicken on for 8 bucks. They are only 5-6 ounce ones, but for that price its almost as good as a bulk buy.
Some times you wont need it, but buy it anyway, good sales are hard to come by.

I truly like to live by #1 though, I even buy my protein that way 25 tubs at a time. 50 bucks each for a product that retails at 80, good deal IMO. (5lb tubs)
