Food Bills

[Texas Renegade]

What does everyone spend on their food per week? Remember, food is the most anabolic substance on earth.

Personally when I am training hardcore, which was not too long ago (Long story), I spend about $450.00 on food. Pretty much my entire work check. (Yes, I'm married and my wife makes more than me ).

So, what do you guys spend?

Too damn much

TR I am assuming you meant for a month? I am right around 400 a month. Thats not including protein, and all other supps. I have my son everyother week and he is 13, so he is starting to eat like a horse. I wouldn't doubt I'll be up to 600 by the end of the summer. I also just heard milk is supposed to double in price. So stop and think about all the things that use milk in them, I hope its just a rumor. We drink alot of milk in my house. As far as your wife making more than you, my GF is going to be a nurse, she'll be making alot more than me. Nothing wrong with that!

I'm hoping he meant a month and not a week. I'm probably right around $400/month or $100/week if counting protein powders. And all I drink is water. I save money by not buying milk (unless bulking), or juice, etc..

So you mix your protein with water PD? I have done that in the past when I am out of milk and didn't care for it. If prices do go up I will be drinking water alot more often.

Yeah, water with the protein. I use ON Whey chocolate, 4-5oz. of water with each scoop (usually 2 scoops and total of 10 oz. of water). It's not too bad.

I also use Biotest's Grow (has casein and whey), and that stuff tastes incredible with water! With milk it's almost too rich. And they're selling that stuff for waaayyy cheaper than they use to. Like $23 on their website. Wow, I sound like a freakin' infomercial LOL!

I actually prefer water over milk for protein mix, true the taste isn't as good but I just seem to get fat off of dairy products even if its skim milk. I only use milk if I am in a bulking, eat my face off, lift a house, stage of a cycle otherwise its always water. It takes a little bit to get used to it but it's ok.

I notice something similar. I seem bloated when drinking milk but when I switch to water, the bloat leaves.

Milk is meant for cows. If you stay away from it... you will notice a lot less phlegm in your throat and less congestion.
I drop about 500 bucks a month on special foods and proteins. I am a very picky eater.

i'm at 600.00 a month for food! i'm addicted to food and can't support my habit!

 

[loudog]

I cant go without my skim milk ...I go through a gallon every 2 days it will make you a little smooth but when you drop it its only like 2 or 3 days before you start to harden up..ive even read some articles where it talks about the loss of bodyfat from dairy products most likely in relation to calcium..I train under DC and hes a big advocate of skim milk during bulking phases..peace

I never have totaled it but i am glad my bulking is coming to a close cause the food bill was high not to mention nothing fits me and i am having a hell of a time putting my shoes on.

 

[I Will Ban You]

Yup about $500 per month...I stick with really clean but high calories{5000-5500 per day} 6 days per week, and then on sunday my girlfriend and I eat out at a decent restaurant or two...It really adds up...allthewhey.com really helps me with my protein intake...VERY affordable and the best as far as I'm concerned...It sucks eating so clean...Hell, I pay almost $4.00 for a 1 lb of lean beef...LOL

 

[Yohimbe]

Yea it's weird i can still see my abs but it's hard as hell to get my shoes on, it must be the bloat.

 

[willieman]

I have no idea what I pay....my wife does the shopping....I give her ALL my money....and I just make a list...she does work too...but I make quite a bit more...once in a while she even lets me wear my penis around too!
