Bodybuilding on a Budget - It Doesn't Have to Put Your Wallet in
a Wheelchair
Believe me...
I've had my fair share of large bills especially when I'm trying
to bulk up and gain weight.
Am I right about this so far?
Don't' worry... there are some really overlooked and rather
inexpensive methods to get all the food you need without
breaking the bank. But I have an even better idea... let me just
start off with a quick list of foods that you can find at most
grocery stories and warehouse locations that are cheap and are
excellent sources of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
Low Cost Bodybuilding Foods (no particular order):
1. Tuna 2. Nuts 3. Olive Oil 4. Whey Protein Concentrate, in
bulk 5. Pasta 6. Chicken legs 7. Beans
Of course you'll want to get servings of fruits and veggies but
normally it's the other foods that are expensive in bulk. With
just the above foods, you can get many of them in bulk or for
discounts and have plenty of wholesome foods for your bulking,
cutting and bodybuilding endeavors.
By now, you're probably wondering...
Okay, that's a nice list of general foods I can use but I am
taking some supplements. And they aren't so cheap. I'd like to
try everything I see in the latest muscle magazines but I really
only have time for what works. Where's the cheap list of
supplements?
Inexpensive (best bang for your buck) supplements:
1. Multi-vitamin 2. Fish oil 3. Whey concentrate 4. Dextrose 5.
Creatine Monohydrate
Fact is...
I try a lot of supplements myself. I'm curious. I want to know
what works and sometimes I stumble across something that is
worth it. But the above list is the basic supplement list that I
always return to no matter what. It's part of the vitamin closet
in the kitchen. If I have no time, no money or no desire to try
anything new, I know that above is the only stash I need to make
any gains I'll need.
So let me summarize and review...
Bodybuilding on budget is real. If you look for specific foods
that are great sources of protein, carbs and healthy fats and
mix and match, you have a really well rounded selection to make
many meals. No matter if you are on a bulk phase, cutting phase
or just want to eat healthy, it doesn't have to be the most
expensive things you've ever done.
