The Perfect Broke Bodybuilders Meal If You Can't Afford Lean Beef,Pork or Chicken

Lets face it guys, no matter where you shop for groceries these days buying lean meats is damn
expensive. Especially if you don't make much money,and are trying to pay rent,for a vehicle
or just trying to get enough protein and nutritious foods that will help you grow bigger as
a dedicated bodybuilder.

Before I go into what the meal is about,here's what I suggest...

Since if you live in California if you're a bodybuilder who wants to get bigger,and have to pay
a friggin' fortune for food,rent and other essentials---start a sub account to strictly pay for
food. Especially lean meat and protein powder.

Figure out what you pay on the average per month for food;including lean meat and protein
powder. Then take that money out of your account that your cash from working a job goes to.

That way that money is already in there and you can spend it guilt free,so to speak.

It just works better that way.

But for our purposes here I'm going to give you a meal I cooked up with leftovers and is
high in protein,cruciferous or fiber loaded veggies and needed carbs.

Even if you can easily afford to pay for lean meats to add to this meal your body can only
take so much lean beef and pork especially. Those are more saturated fat dense proteins
you don't want every meal. The good old heart can only handle so much in the way of                    lean meats even
though they are vital in building solid muscle.

So,here's my high protein--no meat meal. It tastes great as well.

You can switch things up and choose different foods to include in this meal to your liking.


Ingredients: Kidney Beans--1 Cup
                    White Rice--Half Cup
                     Stewed Tomatoes: A third to half a can
                     Onions: 1 Cup and diced
                     Pasta Sauce: 3 tablespoons
                     Spices: Black Pepper,Salt,Oregano or any spice you like

3 whole eggs cooked sunny side up to have on the side.

2 pieces of whole wheat toast dry.

That's the meal. Loaded with protein,carbs and plenty of fat from the whole eggs. Eggs are
loaded with protein,good fats and cholesterol that the body uses effectively. Don't throw
away the yolks.

This meal is perfect if you don't make much money. You can even make a stew out of it
and make it in a crock pot,and make enough meals for a number of days.

You'll get about 40 grams of protein from this meal. The carbs are approximately 90 grams.
Don't quote me on that. Could be more or less. I know it seems a bit high in carbs,but you need
high quality carbs from the beans and rice to fuel your workouts. And the fats from the eggs
will act as an energy source as well if used right for workouts and daily activities.

The fat is about 20 grams. Plenty of fat,and not too much.

You can make this up any way you choose. I include other veggies in it like cauliflower
and broccoli. You could also buy cheap cans of tuna to add to the beans and nix the eggs.

And as a good fat source use two teaspoons of peanut butter and mix it in with the beans,                rice and veggies. You may or may not like that taste,but I know I do. Plenty of protein man!

You can do this up so many ways.

All without having to buy expensive beef or pork.

Tell me what you think.

Broke Bodybuilder Meals That Work---And Won't Break The Bank

Eating right to build muscle as a bodybuilder is tough, and is not cheap.

How can you eat right and take in enough carbs,protein and other nutrients to build
muscle,burn body fat and keep you healthy?

Most bodybuilders seem to think they need protein powder,vitamins,pre-workouts
and other supplements.

If you eat the right food and enough,you don't need supplements.

Real Food will be the key to build solid muscle. Nothing else.

You may not like some of my choices food wise. The only reason being that if you have very
limited resources financially, you're rather constrained in the types of food you eat.

Meaning, you can't spend a boatload on steak,expensive fish or going out to restaurants
constantly.

Okay for breakfast you can have whole eggs and plain oatmeal. For flavoring to your
oatmeal just add cinnamon, and dice up some fruit like an apple.

And you can't afford egg whites on this budget so opt to eat whole eggs instead.
They won't hurt you and you'll get more nutrients including the fat and needed
cholesterol. Have 3 whole eggs at the least.

You can scramble em,sunny side up or just fry them. Or whip em' up and
put them in a plastic bowl and nuke em.' Especially if time is limited.

Buy eggs in bulk if you can at Costco. Walmart is also good these days for buying
food in bulk.

For lunch have tuna and dice up some onions and include a dollop of mayo for some fat.                    It won't kill you either. Add some black pepper and mustard. And toast up three pieces                     of whole wheat bread. As well you can buy a huge bag of white rice and cook that up.

Have one or two cups of rice. You'll have to have 2 if you're a hard gainer.

If you buy a boatload of white rice it will cost you next to nothing. Plus, it's a great
carb for either after workouts or before.

Or what I do in my second meal usually is have oatmeal and a can of tuna.
I buy veggies like radishes and cucumbers and cut them up and have them
with this meal.

Here's what I suggest for Supper: Especially if you don't have much money
for lean beef,lean cuts of pork or chicken.

Chicken is actually expensive so opt to buy lean pork. Buy them in steaks or
even a Center Cut Pork roast which will last you a number of days.

Here's what to do as far as veggies go for supper. Buy canned beans. Not the
brown beans which are loaded with sugar. Buy canned kidney beans,Navy beans
and black beans which are tasty when you add spices and have only 1 gram of
sugar per serving,and usually 12 to 15 grams of protein per half can, or a cup.

They're loaded with fiber and other essential vitamins and minerals.

You can add either rice or whole wheat toast to this meal as well.

You can literally make a stew out of it.

Oh, almost forgot the lean beef you can sautee' in a frying pan until well done,and
add to your beans. One thing to buy though is a scale to measure size of your
food. Especially high fat meat.

You can even forgo the meat and have 3 whole eggs on the side. You'll get boatloads
of protein.

Since I workout late at night I have my last meal after midnight. I always have
oatmeal and add some box cereal like Corn Flakes,Shreddies or even Kellogg's
Mini Wheats. Have some cottage cheese on the side.

Believe it or not you don't need boatloads of protein. Carbs are more important for
growth and recovery purposes along with working out and being committed to a
solid diet.

4 or 5 meals at most a day is what you require. And it won't cost you a bundle if
you're smart with your food purchases.

I only eat 4 meals. But yes, if you want to be big you have to eat more. No
choice there.

Always look for meat specials,buy veggies,oatmeal and rice in bulk to save money
and buy tuna in bulk as well. Here in Canada I go to Walmart here in my town,and it
costs 98 cents per can.

If you have to, buy powdered milk in bulk and add water to it along with powdered
chocolate drink mix. Have 2 cups in your oatmeal and Shreddies.

I love Honey Shreddies.

You can buy all these foods at Costco or Walmart for a cheap price,and feed yourself
well, even though you're a bodybuilder without much in the bank.

You don't need protein powder or other supplements.
