Cheapest Foods to buy when Getting first apartment
ill be living with Myself and 2-3 other roomamtes in about 2-3 weeks. What foods should i get to start a healthy diet and lose weight to get cut. Normally college students eat 99% junk food and party alot.(more calories)
But i want to get cut while i leave with just my buddies. & become my own man if that seems right. Also i will be tight on money. because of rent/car etc.. So i need the cheapest foods. If anyone have any ideas please put them down. I would be very grateful. Thanks |

I was making a list once, i should continue it. Pretty much came to the conclusion that gram for gram protein wise eggs were the most affordable.
Chicken was close too, breast, but it has no other calories (where as eggs have fat) so you'll have to buy more. Tuna in Brine: $1 = 27.904g Skim milk: $1 = 22.54g cottage cheese: $1 = 24.32g chicken breast: $1 = 30.7g eggs: $1 = 32.2g This was australian, as you can per $ eggs were the best, (in australia) |

When I head off to skewl in a couple of weeks, I'll be buying the following:
Carbs - bulk brown rice, multigrain bread, bulk baked potatoes. Protein - Eggs, chicken breast, cottage cheese, skim milk, tuna. Fats - Natural PB, Omega 3 Mayo. Some of the items listed aren't going to be cheaper than anything else, but if you manage your money properly you'll be saving enough money avoiding the crap you used to eat on a weekly basis that buying these healthier options will save you money in the process. What skewl do you go to? |

also grab some old fashioned oats (the big tub) and some whites (ones that are on sale). unless you can do it the old fashion way. i am personally terrible at that kind of stuff though so I just buy a huge carton of egg whites.

Fresh or frozen is cheaper than canned veggies. Canned veggies are garbage.

There is very little nutrients left in canned veggies.

Probably not the best, but I get those frozen blocks of veggies that cost about $.89 a piece. Taste fine.

Frozen is a billion times better than canned.
Not as good as fresh but there is little difference. The freezing doesn't remove that many nutrients providing they are frozen when fresh. |

Add a juice ( or sugar free cordial if you dont do fruit juices) and least A fruit, some chilli garlic and herbs to keep your immune system and digestion working for you, and besides any supplements we might hav, that's probably pretty close to how alot of us eat ideally anyway.

if you need to mix it up (i sure do) buy a box of cheap steaks, they are usually leaner because the fat in steaks is what makes it more tender, and more expensive.
just marinate the steaks in beer for a few hours and it will soften up the meat enough that it doesnt feel like you are eating rubber. p.s. dont drink the beer you used to soak the steak in ( i know its tempting) |
