As once a college student and as an entrepreneur I am very familiar with tight budgets. I understand the struggle and am here to show you what I’ve learned. Below is what I have incorporated into my diet that didn’t break the bank and was nutritious and pro muscle. Are you ready for them lean (wallet) gains!?
Let’s Go Shopping
Focus your shopping on high quality proteins, fats, and carbohydrates that are on sale; not those prepared meals.
Good Cheap Sources Of Protein In Order Of Increasing Price:
Eggs, Sardines, Greek Yogurt (Sugar Free), Pork, Chicken Breasts, and Beef.
Good Cheap Sources Of Fats In Order Of Increasing Price:
Real Butter, Olive Oil (uncooked is best), Coconut Oil (uncooked is best), Avocados, and Almonds.
Good Cheap Sources Of Fats In Order Of Increasing Price:
Rice, Potatoes (all types), Various Beans, 100% Whole Grain Macaroni, and Quinoa
All of your meals should be a combination of these three macro ingredients. Mix in a good amount of fruits and vegetables (vitamins and minerals) and you’ll have a great balanced diet that will be more conducive for muscle development. Another aspect that helps with cost saving, and something that I’ve recently adopted is intermittent fasting: What Is An Intermittent Fasting Routine?
So, if you adopt the cost saving diet of intermittent fasting here’s what one meal may look like:
- 1 Dozen Eggs: $1.30
- 4 medium Potatoes: $1.00
- Some sort of vegetable: about $0.30
So each meal comes to about $2.60
This meal is one of the highest T meals that money can buy!
Now that you know the basics you can get creative and learn how to shop around for the best deals!
