    Mula $$$

    ok, I'm really into getting my body ready for summer. you know... exposing my abs, building my arms and chest... blah blah

    but The more I research, the more I find that it's VERY expensive!!

    NOT including supplements, all this protein, like steak, fish, and balanced meals, and bottled water, and even my membership adds up!! I have bills to pay,


    are there any of you out there who can help me out with some cheap methods you use? I already have the membership, and I sold my old set up to pay for the down payment.

    I mean, do you get food or supplements for cheap anywhere? I'm not very well off.. PLEASE HELP ME!

    Tap water=very cheap
    Tuna=30 cents a can=30 grams protein, 0 carbs
    boneless chicken=3-5 bucks

    I live on the east coast(MD) and use dpsnutrition.com. I get my supplements the next day. Whey protein for 5 lbs=28 bucks

    Just a few starters for you. If you begin with at least a gallon of water a day, and 1 gram per pound of body weight for protein, this will get you started.

    I agree with the above posts.... chicken, rice, tuna and water are inexpensive.... works quite well and will not break the bank.

    I agree also,

    Dozen large eggs $1.50
    Skinless, boneless, chicken breast $1.59 per pound
    Tuna is very cheap
    Tap water is what I drink

    Multivitamin
    My one month bottle is $16.00

    If you are just starting out I wouldn't worry about Creatine, Glutamine, etc

    I probably save a great deal of money fixing my meals every day and eating what I eat.

    I use dpsnutrition also. Best buy on whey I've found yet. 10lb. bag for $48.95. Don't go to GNC. Even on their Gold Card days they are higher than hell.

    You might try one of the price club type places like SAMS CLUB;COSTCO or whatever type store you have in your area.
    Alot of the time if you can find a "butcher" or wholesale meatpackigng facility you can get your meats in bulk and freeze it in individual servings until you need it.TIP=the individual packs keep longer if you vacuum pack it.You could even pre-cook your meals and vac-pac them and they'll keep for weeks @ a time.The initial investment may seem like alot,but you'll save $$ by not trying to eat healthy @ restaurants
    Iuse dpsnutrition.com too & they're a great help if you can't afford regular retail prices.

    I pay $25 a month. I wouldn't join a gym that required a down payment or a contract. I also reccomend joining Sam's Club or Costco. I go there once a month and load up on everthing. I get 5 dozen eggs for $3.50, not bad. The membership price will pay for itself the first time you go there, I think it's well worth it.

    as far as protein the cheapest way would be eggs, tuna and milk (not mixed together though!)

    If you cannot afford supps, don't worry about it. However, creatine and glutamine are not that expensive.
