Need Some Help/ Can I Continue?

[babygetoboy]

Hey guys, I need some help , and to see if this is still possible to continue with my bodybuilding.

I am moving out on my own, and will have a lot more expenses than I have ever had before, and this will be my first time living on my own. I'm excited on one hand , but nervous on how I am going to afford my bodybuilding lifestyle, and I would be devastated if I couldn't give it 100%.

So after figuring out everything, I will have around $75-100 per week to spend on bodybuilding. FOod and supps.

Do you think it's possible to keep my diet up and still give me all to bodybuilding?

You just hold on right where you are, I am buying a ticket and flying to Metro and I am gonna beat your ass!...

I say get a van and just live in it down by the river to save money for protein.

It will be tough to make it on that, but if you're frugal you can probably do it. Good luck with it and congrats on getting your own place.

C'mon, $400.00 a month for food, piece of pie, start paying attention to ads, go talk to the local butcher at the grocery store ask him when they price down meats, usually every night near closing time, scour the newspapers and hand outs in the mail for good buys, it can be done I do it every week, every time you go into the grocery store pick up thier paper at the front door and see whats on sale, they run in cycles, they rotate meats on sale every week, do not eat out ever, its too costly and you don't get your moneys worth, cook all your meat for the week then fridge it, use your head dammit, at least you are on your own, plus eating perfectly clean think how lean you will be, no more garbage food...

Thats the key. $400 is Plenty for a single guy w/ no kids(I'm assuming here). Plenty of meat and rice(rice and cous cous are DIRT cheap).

Coupons baby! Join a wholesale club if you can.

[babygetoboy]

I belong to Costco, which is a wholesale warehouse kinda place.

The biggest problem I'm having is findind a way to eat 3 meals on the road each day, without using deli meat, which is too expensive, and not having a microwave.

Hard boilded eggs and baked potatoes. Very exciting. Tuna in the can. Take your opener with you. It can be done. AND TRUE PROTEIN.

So what is wrong with eating cold chicken on a sandwich, steak or hamburger, all 7/11's have microwaves right?, even some places that have vending machines have micros, yes?...

[babygetoboy]

Haha, 7-11's I wish, IH , dont' know if you know the area, but my route is in the heart of the ghetto, in the worst area of detroit, there's only liquor stores behind glass and as stations with no store. Wyoming and Chicago area. Now, if crack was a bodybuilding food/supplement, I'd be in the money

[babygetoboy]

lol Raul, I own a microwave, it's just the 9 hours at work I"m in a truck the whole time and don't have access to one, and haven't found a good way to make cold chicken palatable.

Man, you make it sound as if you want to stop BB.ing and such, or you are just making this VERY hard on yourself. I have a few friends wh do different types of jobs that require a ton of traveling around, or in vehicle time, and they manage. Oh, and they also make shit for money too.

Do everything you can to drive down costs, obviously use what IH said, also Dogg has commented on it, how he saves money as well.

Get a big lunch bag type thing. A cooler preferably. Pack the days food in it, hardboiled eggs, tuna and chicken, pre made of course. Buy a good shaker device from the walmart tupperware section. Now, pack your protien powder for the day in a ziplock bag, you can reuse the bags, no problem, but use one big one. Bring a scoop and 1 shaker. Use a shake, go to a public restroom turn the water on hot, rince your shaker out and so forth.

My friends and I have all done this, and yes we got shit for our coolers, but it comes down to how bad you want this. I mean, if you have cash to buy a bunch of food, but not enough to get what you need now, still do as much as you can. Remember, champions go the extra mile.

Baby, here's a link to different types of portable/car food warmers/coolers:

Also get yourself a little freezer to store away some meats.

good luck

Damn jim, those things are awesome. I wish my truck had a cigarette lighter in it, cause then I would be in the damn money with that thing. Damn it.
