Diet on a Budget

[Merlin]

Why do people keep buying mass gainers? they're such a rip off. Go buy some oats, peanut butter and bananas and chuck those in your normal whey. Sorted.

I bought mass gainers when I started simply because I couldn't be buggered preparing anything. Same goes with why I lived off chop chop chicken and tuna for a while.

Now I am the best chef in the world... in my head.

Also OP - Spices can get a big expensive, and if you're anything like me you'll probably want to buy every spice you see just to experiment.

A cheaper option is Coat n Cook. Probably not the best for you, but it's easy and damn good.

Intermittant fasting is free

I've replaced more than half of my protein shakes with simple eggs, oats, fruit, milk shakes and it works just the same.

You could also (if you're not squirmish) go for Afvol meat like hearts and stuff, very cheap, not very good fat side of things, but doable.

Pretty sure protein powder will always workout to be the cheapest source of protein.

[tgzerozone]

Eggs is cheaper than most protein powder I think. Not by much though I would imagine.

I make a variation of the fishcake recipie on the back of the homebrand can.

I use alot less potato and no flour or bread crumbs.

Korean stew recipe sounds interesting..
