Not counting meal replacements, bout $400.

I buy chicken where ever its on sale tho. Always looking for best price an buy in bulk. Eggs an tuna same thing.
 
Around 400-500MAX.. I think 700 is too much to spend on food, you really dont need to spend that much money to get good result, unless your buying all organic which is stupid..
 
I would like to know how you guys do that! I can easily spend over 700 a month, Anywhere from 170-250 a week and I'm only 175 pounds about 17 percent body fat. Granted I am trying to gain weight, still it seems excessive compared to you big boys spending much less!
Oh' I don't even wanna get into supps.
 
Not counting protein powder, I'm now trying like hell to keep it at $10 a day, which is proving to be pretty much impossible. $12 a day is what I used to spend and it seems to have been a reasonable amount.
 
I eat essentially no meat. It's not that I have a philosophical problem with it. It's just too goddamn expensive. I probably spend an average of $10 a week on 96% lean ground sirloin or chicken breast, which is about 3 meals. The remainder of my protein comes from whey protein isolate and whole eggs.
 
whats wrong wit all organic food? im not poor, i prefer to shop there than with all the slobs at wallmart. i enjoy helping support local farmers and shit, and i like to eat well. plus the lack of garbage there makes it easier not to cheat.. all that being said i spend bout 2-400 a month and half of my meals are free every month from work lol. i also have a very heavy meat diet. few chicken breasts a day, some kind of fish, lots of salmon lately, and usually a half pound of ground bison made into somethin
 
I eat organic for several reasons

1. screw the big corporate farms, would rather support the small organic farmer (i also shop at a co-op as much as possible)
2. better for the environment
3. better for the animals
4. food tastes better

if i could eat 100% organic I would but that isn't possible, but I do eat mostly organic.

grass fed beef vs. beef fed corn and soy
cage free eggs with chickens fed worms/insects vs. caged eggs where they are fed trash

hey same here, Steve. We should get together and compare ideas/suggestions sometime.
 
Omega cage free eggs 3 dozen a day is said to be equal to steroids vince gironda (who used to say bodybuilding was 85% nutrition) used to say that.

today we have guys who eat slop and run ridiculous steroids all year.. imagine if guys like Arnold or the other old school guys ran all that crap today and had such a solid diet.
 
I could easily spend well over $1,000 but food is expensive where I live.
 
Before I started cooking my own meals, I was pay chichi to pay check from eating out all the time $500-$600 easy
 
I'm up to around $200 a week, it's getting way out of control. Eating Orange Roughy twice a day, sirloin once a day, 2 dozen of organic eggs a day among other things. This is starting to be too costly of a hobby or lifestyle, whatever your terminology is. I think I'm gonna start playing tennis, it's much cheaper.
 
700 at the grocery store give or take.. hard.. gotta remove my wife from the equation.

im an organic hippy i guess

cage free eggs everyday
cage free antibiotic free chicken and turkey every day
wild caught sustainable seafood just about everyday
organic grassfed beef everyday
organic greek yogurt daily
all organic fruits veggies daily
ezekiel bread / sprouted bread daily

im bulking which doesnt help and in my city food stores that I shop in, local hippy mart, are very expensive but its worth it.. i wanna live to about 150-160 give or take

oh and thats not counting restaurants.. I am always taking people out to eat for business meetings.. damn shame business meetings cant take place at the gym?
 
Shop at Costco, its really worth getting membership, or maybe sams club if you dont have a costco in your area. You can get massive amounts of HQ food really cheap. The only reason I spend about $900 a month on food is because I eat a lot of exotic shit and gourmet stuff like Buffalo fillets, seabass, cheeses, and a lot of sushi out. If you were shopping exclusively at costco you could easitly eat all you wanted for under 500$. Very easy to do there.
 
My parents have an organic farm and I still spend something like $600 a month. I'm guilty of eating out a lot, but if I were to stop doing that I would only be spending maybe $200 with what I get from my parents place. But if you want to get big it really doesnt always cost an arm and a leg, just shop wisely, and dont stick to one store get the sunday paper and with the ads in front of you plan out your meals for the week.
 
I havnt been able to play the iron game for a year. Cleared to start next week again. For the last 4 months I have been doing cardio and dieting to lose BF% So probably $200 monthly. Lots of casein, almond milk, liquid egg whites, chicken. Basically starving myself.

Once I am full blown into it again it will be $400-600 monthly easy. Liquid egg whites, Tuna, Salmon(when its on sale!), Sirloin, pork loin, Chicken.

Found a store near me that has boneless chicken always for $1.88 lb. and bone in for like $.98 lb.

I wish fresh salmon wasnt so goddamn expensive I would eat it 24/7. Deer season is coming soon here and I have 5 tags to fill. thats a few hundred lb of free venison. Heres to hoping i see enough of them!!
 
I go to coles (Auzzy Supermarket) they have self service checkouts and I weigh everything up as carrots... $1.98 aus a kilo... Protein, Meal Replacements, fish oil, vitamins, Salmon, Fillet Steak, chicken breast.. Gotta peel the buzzer off the protein, vitamins and meal replacements thow.. The only thing I pay top doller for is my carbs! Otherwise id go broke!
 
Around $400 give or take. Eating healthy isn't cheap by no means, you have to fix everything pretty much from scratch. There's no easy bake or microwave solution to it. At least none that I've found.

Man, what do you guys buy? LOL

I'd be interested in seeing what's on everyone's grocery list for the week, or month. I guess if you're buying lean beef it could get expensive. But I stick to chicken and tuna.

The only thing I microwave is grits and oatmeal. I eat my chicken cold.

Time is what kills me....the thing that takes the most time is rinsing fresh veggies and waiting 6-8 hours for 12lbs. of chicken to cook in the crock pot...as well as loading and unloading the dishwasher for all of the freakin' dishes I go through.
 
sorry broski, i included the wife and kid, and eating out.. that's the killer, otherwise it's around $200
 
Roughly 60/week:
7lbs chicken breast
3lbs beef (90/10)
4 dozen eggs
Veggies
Apples/bananas
Salad dressing
Rice
Few oddities

Plus about 115/month on supps
 
I make about 2 trips a week at 60 bucks each trip. So just under $500/month.
