I would not worry about organic milk if I were you, just get whole milk. $1.50 a gallon here in Colorado.
Your worrying too much about the small stuff. If you are really serious about this, get a part time job so you can buy more food.
Dark meat chicken. Buy the hind quarters (leg and thigh still connected). This with sweet potatoes is what I eat for lunch everyday. At my grocery, it’s .99¢ a pound for these. They come 4 in a package so I get 4 good sized hind quarters for about $3.50. Sweet potatoes are .99¢ a pound as well. If you get the big ones, that’s about $1 a potato. Not many meals are cheaper.

Sorry for the double post. Interweb gremlins…

I know! We were running at around 3 bucks a gallon for a long time and then it came down thankfully. Thave have to be losing money on the milk and hoping for other biz.

whole milk? yikes im not trying to put on fat while im bulking. 13% is high to me. yep you are right. i do worry too much about small stuff. i am trying to make a good foundation so that when i do have the money i can do it right. i mean let’s face it, the best-looking people result from either two things provided they bring crazy intensity in the gym: steroids, genetics, or good diet, or two of three choices.

once again, supplements seem to use the money more efficiently for me. $40 for 10 lb and $20 for 1000 mg(or g) of creatine is a bargain that no grocery store can beat. yep i do try to do that. bodybuilding does seem to be enjoyable at least food-wise at the moment.[/quote]
Dude you forgetting something important here, supplements are there to supplement a good diet, not replace a poor diet! First sort your diet out then worry about other supplements. There’s no use in taking creatine to increase muscle strength if the muscles aren’t being fed properly. Shop around dude, sweet potatoes and cheaper cuts will still work
How old are you, and why don’t you have a job? $80 a month is not enough, period.0

Dude, your not going to get it all with your budget. At your age fat gain should be a non-issue, I’m sure you metabolism is running sky high. The bottom line is you need calories first, carbs, protein and fat. If you are worried about fat gain, add in some cardio. Eat whatever you can get your hands on and train your ass off, gains will come. Your not going to build a solid foundation on tuna and creatine. CHeck out JB’s guide to massive eating. It is a “clean” bulking diet but works well.

dude, the biggest concern on your budget is even getting enough calories to grow. you don’t need to be worrying about fat gain on such limited food to begin with.

great tips thank you. what i meant to say was i do use food mostly to get carbs and fats but i do need 75-100 g of protein a day from whey protein to satisfy 250 g a day of protein. but yea definitely looking into cheaper cuts of meat.

i guess so. the truth hurts. i guess some of you would slap me but i avoid cardio without even knowing it. i suppose i can eat my parents’ food as that comes free. but vietnamese nd chinese food isnt great for bodybuilding, least that’s wat most of u say. yep have checked it out. used to be following that guide till thib gave the advice it’s not wise during this time to gain maximal muscle.

i know, but sorry, it drives me nuts to know i can grab a handful of fat off my stomach.
Poor russian peasants in the cold war built impressive physiques off of little more than porridge and potatoes, with the occasional bit of soy livestock feed for extra protein. What’s your excuse?

lol… the funny thing is that porridge is still claimed to be #1 choice for breakfast in lower-middle families in post-Soviet countries. The tradition went back from USSR as everyone (doctors, coaches, parents) advocated it to be the most essential food for kids to grow and for stomach health. The biggest porridge brand was called “Hercules” and there was even a saying “didn’t you eat your porridge for breakfast?” when someone was weak/unenergetic/sleepy …
dont wanna make a new thread titled “confused and skeptical” but one thing i wanna ask all the posters here. have u ever wondered the view they had back then and now? they used to support low-carb dieting and even the anabolic diet and only a few supplements before and now suddenly they go to the other side of the spectrum and the list of supplements is long now. i remember they used to shun what they support now. wat’s the problem here?

wtf are you talking about?
Research evolves.
Why do you need 250g of protein? Do you weigh 250 lbs? If so, shouldn’t you be cutting rather than bulking?
Seriously though, stop worrying about fat. A couple of litres (half a gallon) of whole milk a day will add 70-80g of protein. That’ll do the trick on top of normal food. Forget about supplements.
