A Budget Diet, What you think??? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Chris4Pez · 25-03-2008, 07:13 PM

Hi guys i know i usually give advice in diets and I have been on here long enough now to know how to put a diet together but i was just wondering what you guys think of this for a "budget diet"

I am on a budget at the minute as I have recently fallen out of work, so was just wondering what you think of this diet I have roughly come up with and tbh it will probably need to be changed a little!

The goal at the minute is not to gain but just keep my existing muscle mass and also in the process lose some BF if possible!

Here is my diet as follows;

Breakfast
6 egg whites with 2 whole eggs and 100g oats

Snack 1
Tuna sandwich on wholegrain bread or multi-grain bread w/ low fat mayo!

Dinner
Rice with Chicken Breast (100g rice, 6-8oz Chicken)

Snack 2
Wholemeal Pasta with Chopped Tomatoes and Chicken Breast (again About 100g of Pasta and 6-8oz of Chicken)

Tea
Meat (anything except for Lamb) with either Green Vegetables Or Salad.

Before Bed
200g Cottage cheese, 3-4tblsp Peanut butter and low fat milk!

So guys what do you think, and also what would you change if anything???

Please remember I am on a low budget at the minute so don't go over the top with things like the vegetables and also fruit etc as these things are fairly expensive!

Cheers Guys

Looks good to me. You could probably tweak things here and there and end up eating a bunch of stuff you don't like to get 0.1% better results, but on the whole it is solid enough and you'll do great on it.

With regards to veg, you can get a big 1kg bag of frozen mixed green veg for around £1... doesn't have to be expensive

Frozen veg is great! dead cheap. I have 200g of it for my half 9 meal with my turkey I LOVE IT! lol

I'll be eating shyte loads of veg in the off season!

Cheers guys I have helped people before on their diets but when you are doing your own it does not look right, and you second Guess yourself well i do anyways lol

Thanks for the replies guys i appreciate it!

So where would you add the veg then guys on the last meal of the day, also how much would you have in terms of Weight etc?

Get a chair and sit in the reduced food section at the supermarket chris. That way you won't miss out on any reduced bargains, and as your out of work you have got something to do during the day

Chris4Pez · 26-03-2008, 07:11 PM

lol i can always rely on you making me laugh you Pi$$ Taker

:love:

I don't think the amount of veg you have matters TBH. As Paul Scarb said on another thread, you'll burn more calories chewing the veg than there is actually in it.

As others have said, frozen veg is dead cheap and easy. If you're not going to eat fruit & veg then make sure you chuck a decent multi vitamin down your neck once or twice a day
