Thread: What I Just Ate: PIC INSIDE

hope you took those yolks out,

YEA definitely.

ewww.....I remember those.....I hate boiled eggs.

whatever the yolks are the best part

me too jodie, boiled eggs are too "eggy" for me

no freaking way, boiled eggs rule !! much better than frying, the lack of added greese and fat is a positive and so is not having to wash a dirty frying pan......

I think Boiled eggs kick ass too (source of whey). The first two are always a little rough going down, but after that Im fine. Ill post my breakfast pic tommorrow.

boiled eggs are soooo easy to eat. if i had to, i could probably eat 20-30 eggs in 1 sitting. I am going to post pics of my oatmeal and other meals tommorow as well,

COME ONE PEOPLE, LETS SEE WHAT YOU EAT
put those digital cameras to use

dude its food, we all know what it looks like, plus by the time I finish making it I am too damn hungry to take the time for a picture

Me too, I can send a pic of it when it comes out the other end.

Bro, how much did you spend?

yea i do most of my shopping at COSTCO, but natural pb and veggies i get at the local Farmers Market.......

everything in that pic cost around $160

Shit, I can go to the store and spend $160 and not even get 1/2 a basket of wholesome groceries.

how long does that food last you

WTF man, I only spend $70 US on groceries every week:
- 9 pounds of chicken breast
- 5 pounds of eye of round steak
- 15 bags fresh spinach
- one pound brown rice
- one pound hulled barley
- one kilo large flake oats
- one kilo quick flake oats
- 2 boxes Splenda
- one bottle fish oil caps
- one pound wheat bran
- one pound psyllium husk
- one liter apple cider vinegar

- one jar natural PB every three weeks
- one 2 pound jug of protein powder every two weeks

Peace.

Well, lets see, Chicken, Fresh Tuna, Talipia, Ground Turkey Breast, Turkey breast cutlets, Eggs, Water, I can buy a big sack of brown rice and it lasts me a month, oatmeal, Veggies(brocoli, cauliflower, beans, etc.) I buy all fresh. Well, you get the picture. And my protein powder, I buy online. It does all add up...perhaps I was exaggerating a little but it still isn't cheap. The meats cost the most and If you try to eat real meals six times a day ( I try to do this) then you're consuming a large amount of meats. Just my two cents.

I go through a pound of chicken and a pound of beef a day, dude, so I eat a lot of meat myself. GOod thing that chicken is only $3 US a pound where I'm at, eye of round is $2.30...

Peace.

about a week !! my appetite is incessable

It is not about appetite for me! I can spend 500-600 dollars a month and barely fill up. Now I am planning on 150-200 a month and will be stuffed to the gills (and believe me I can eat!) and will get all the micronutrients I can handle. I just got fed up with dropping 500+ a month on food just to bodybuild and said to hell with it.

I wish I had a way to put up the pic. I would show you two 25 lb. bags of Bobsredmill Extra Thick Oats. Those things are great!

give up a linky for the oats

also, how the hell are you planning on going from 600 $ a month to 200 and maintain the same diet ?!?!?!?!!??

I've already done it effectively. 200 a month will be easy for me to stick to!

The biggest part of it for me is minimizing protein and vegetable costs. I won't be able to eat steak and extra lean hamburger every day.

I am still looking at about $3 a day on protein though. I am pretty much going with the following...

Protein:
Tuna(.33 a can)
Eggs(<$1.2 a dozen)
Milk protein isolate(cheaper than milk/cottage cheese/ff cheese)
Soy Isolate(I don't plan on using much of this though)
Poultry or Beef if they run a big sale

Carbs:
Oats(extra thick)
Brown rice(Lundberg)
Tortillas(you get tons of them for $1)
Pasta

Fats are for the most part dirt cheap. Peanut butter, olive oil, any oils basically. Fish oil I go with 2-3 g EPA/DHA a day. not too bad.

All that stuff ought to run me at most about 5 bucks a day, even with a little good meat thrown in everynow and then. With another 30-40 bucks I can get all the veggies and fruits I want. Just get stuff in bulk or on sale.

The key for me with the veggies is to buy them for their micronutrient content. i.e. go for variety rather than massive quantity and just get crap on sale. You might be surprised what you can do if you flat out tell yourself you aren't spending more than X dollars in a given week. I did that and it 'magically' worked out just fine.

I could probably go a lot lower than 150-200 if I needed to now. I like my specialty grains though!

Extra Thick

A lot of supermarkets carry those oats in smaller bags too. You can bet stuff from bulkfoods also though I haven't ordered from there.
