Cheap Muscle-Building Food

[Croydon_Refugee]

Greetings Comrades,

Starting from January 2018, I'm going to have my own place, and I will have a lot more spare time to myself.

Im going to start focusing on muscle-building, bulking up, and improving my strength and fitness over-all (as should we all for the coming days).

At the moment, my diet isn't particularly regulated, and I pretty much eat what I want in moderation, as I walk quite a lot, and tend to burn off the bad stuff.

I'm looking to find relatively cheap and healthy foods to snack on and to have for lunches/dinners starting from next-January to compliment the work I'll be putting into the work-outs.

I know Whey Protein Powder is pretty necessary (I used to have it with milk), and Chicken/Eggs are really good, but any other ideas and suggestions would be great.

Many Thanks

Hunting and fishing will give you the best protein available. You can spend a little or a lot on the means to do either, and really you should have most if not all the equipment anyway.

Are there lots of niggers in your area? You can kill and eat them. It's not high quality meat, but you did say "cheap."

Yams/sweet potatoes, of all the potatoes, yams the best most carbs and calories.
Pasta.
Bone in chicken breast. people pay big bucks for boneless but there is no real advantage. besides, bone adds flavor.

I regularly buy my boneless chicken breast at Walmart for $2.00 a pound.

Any suggestions for snacks?

I know nuts are meant to be really good, and fill you up quickly.

For breakfast, I'll stick to porridge oats.

This is a somewhat basic question you're asking. Something along the lines of Paleo diet is the food that is best for your body, and if you're doing some serious exercise then you'll simply be adjusting the ratios of protein-fat-carb in order to supply your body with what it will need.

It depends on what you enjoy, i start the day with either 4 scrambled eggs or 2 slices of whole wheat bread with peanut butter. For lunch i eat 0% fat greek yoghurt with oats, and for dinner i eat pasta with 90% lean beef and some tomato sauce. I also drink 1 liter of whole milk a day.

If you start out, i would recommend using IIFYM to sort out your macros and use MyFitnessPall to track your calories and macros.

Wholemeal peanut butter sandwiches.

Pumpkin seeds are good for a quick snack.

Try to avoid foods and snacks with a high glycemic value. That would be anything made from white flour (pasta, bread, etc.), white rice, most things made from corn, and so on. I mean once in a while is fine, but these foods are so cheap and so ubiquitous that it's easy to fall into a routine where you're eating them all the damn time. Things like brown rice and whole wheat products are only marginally better. Quinoa, bulger, sprouted grains, and a bunch of others grains are much better.

Snacks should revolve around fat rather than carbs. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods (I'm SWPLish like a mother fucker) has a really nice selection of nuts. It's the perfect opportunity to say "nigger toes" in polite company. Tuna is a popular choice as well.

Whey, egg protein, oatmeal, eggs, red meat, bone in breasts, WATER not sports drinks, sweet potatoes but none other, any and all veggies, salmon, tuna. Paleo to the max ( crank it up to 11 ).
Avoid pastas, corn, legumes, rice.
It takes remarkably small amounts of protein to maintain and really, only a slight uptick to add mass. Training technique will do more to add muscle. Remember, too much protein can cause complications, starting with your kidneys.
Also remember there is a minimum daily requirement for everything under the sun EXCEPT carbs. Get your carbs from whole food scources, rely on fats for energy.
Develop a regimen built around bodyweight exercises. Walmart has reasonably priced kettlebells. Check out Pavel Tsatsouline and his pricey little books on stretching, k bells and power lifting. Strength training and endurance training are synergistic they complement each other so you can cycle them one week train endurance the following week train strength you'll see remarkable results that way also keep in mind the cumulative training effect.
In other words, doing ten pushups an hour over the course of a day has the same training affect as knocking out a hundred at one time.
Have fun and keep your mind focused.
It's helpful to maintain a training log. It takes about 3min a day and helps with focus and motivation.
Train as if your life depends on it.
A.m./p.m. splits helps to increase training load while allowing for rest which you will find very important to make progress.
You can, in six weeks, completely change your body. Six to nine week training blocks are just right for results /evaluation and helps keep it fresh.
Your body responds to stress so keep changing your routine.

Eggs are pretty cheap and full of protein. Oatmeal is good too and cheap.

[KevinSommers]

To add to the above advice, Brazil nuts are best nuts. Chia seeds are best seeds.

Make sure you're networking with stormers in your area. If you think you're going to work out alone in the comfort of your own home you'd better have an iron will. Unless you're already ubermench you'll want guys to push you and keep you motivated. Or hit up a gym.

Nigger toes are great but watch out for walnuts and Chia seeds.
Both are mega foods in their own right but, I just learned both are estrogenic in their effect what this means is they can negatively affect your testosterone.
Use em don't abuse em.

[CaptainMorgan]

Tuna, nuts, peanut butter, oatmeal.

[KevinSommers]

Flax seeds are the one you need to watch for, chia boosts testosterone. Was my main supplement for some time. Not aware of any issues with walnuts
