Any affordable meal prep suggestions for poor f***ers like me??? How to best do meal

[xchewbaccax777]

So we all know that meal prepping the key to success, but what if you are a poor person?? So if you are on a tight budget how do you get between four and six meals with lean protein in it daily along with complex carbs here and there which are also a bit pricey?? What is your affordable meal prepping solution?

Chicken and rice, tuna, oatmeal, and fruit but chicken for me is fuckin mundane and can't do it. I eat just healthy and snacks are protein bars but any unhealthy shit is usually burned off working in the heat and carrying shit around all damn day. Wish I could be more help.

Oats, rice and potatoes for carbs.

Boneless , skinless chicken breast is usually $2/lb out here. That's not bad for protein. Tuna's cheap but I can't stand it.

I buy a shit load of ground beef when it's on sale. In the off season I eat 85/15 which sometimes goes for $2.50/lb

Unfortunately when cutting I eat 93/7 that stuffs always at least $4.

Sam's Club an Costco are great for dieting on a budget. You staples really aren't that expensive. Chicken beasts @ $1.88/lb. Eggs, tilapia, tuna, all reasonable proteins. Oats, sweet, potatoes, and rice, all great and affordable carbs. Broccoli, asparagus, peas, beans, green pepper, bananas, avocados,mushrooms, all reasonable. Throw in a few spices and some extra virgin olive oil and you about have all you need.

Hey I forgot about the egg! Low cost protein any time. Now buying whites only can get expensive.

Budget or not, you'll be eating many of the same foods/meals day in and day out. For many I believe this is one of the more difficult aspects, the boredom. I realized early on food was fuel, not fun to eat. Especially every 2.5-3 hours.
Couple that with having to pay for/prep this boring stuff, and it's a recipe for failure for many - unless you can separate the enjoyment of eating with it having purpose. Everything must have purpose.

I learned this from Jay when I first met him.

Luckily I've actually gotten to enjoy some of the foods.

I used to get teased at work years back eating plain tuna out of the can. "Time for your cat food again?" they used to say. I had been doing it for some time already and their comments meant nothing. The point is that I not only got used to it over time, I began to crave it as I knew that eating that fuel was helping me to grow, physically and mentally as a bodybuilder which tasted sweeter and better to me than any food could.

Diet is where i fall short, i need to get more serious about it. I eat nothing but quality home cooked meals with all the staples of a bodybuilder...4000-5000 calories a day with minimum of 300g protein. But my meals arent split up as good as they should be. Really only have 3 large meals a day with protein shakes in between. So i am constantly getting nutrition, but not solid foods every 2.5 hours...

Add powdered oats and bananas to your shakes and you're set.
