A majority of the population views a healthy eating lifestyle as something they can't do for a variety of reasons:
Inexpensive. Healthy.
You may think you have to spend thousands of dollars on supplements to get the results you want. But, the truth is that's not the case. If you do your research, break it down, and stay on track with your daily food and supplement intake, you can eat and supplement for an extremely reasonable price.
I want to break it down for you to let you know it's not as hard as you think. Maintaining a healthy diet of quality foods and top-notch supplements is not out of reach. it's something all of you can do, you just need to focus and commit.
If you are ready to change your diet, change your lifestyle, and change your spending habits then listen up. I am going to show you how you can eat clean and healthy, consuming healthy macronutrients, while being able to supplement your body with muscle building supplements for around $10 a day.
You are going to need to do your research. Look at weekly food advertisements for the best deals on meats, eggs, and vegetables. Or, buy in bulk at a large warehouse store to significantly cut the price per unit you are paying for each item.
By breaking down each food and supplement item by price per serving you will see how cheap you can eat and supplement your body per day and still hit your daily goals for protein, carbohydrates, fats, and micronutrient intake.
Don't think it's possible? Keep reading and let me show you.
Inexpensive and healthy food necessities:
I never said this was going to be easy and you were going to be eating 99 cent burgers off the value menu for each meal. But, this meal plan is going to make your body a bit lighter and your wallet a bit heavier.
You get your whole foods like eggs, chicken, and rice for your healthy protein and carbohydrates intake and pair that with the tuna and peanut butter for your healthy fats. The one cup serving of broccoli provides you with your micronutrients for the day giving you the essentials vitamins and minerals your body needs to function, including over 100 percent of your daily vitamin C and K intake.
But, our journey to gains does not stop there. You still need to get rid of that $10 bill in your pocket and you still a few more items for making serious gains. let's talk supplements.
Whey protein provides you with an easy, cheap way to fuel your body. It contains a large amount of protein while keeping the fats, calories, and carbohydrates at a moderate level.
The ingredients in a pre-workout will vary depending on the type of pre-workout formula you are looking for. But, the most common ingredients in most pre-workouts include beta-alanine, citrulline malate, carnitine, taurine, and caffeine.
Each pre-workout is going to have its own blend of ingredients, but these are some of the most common. Taking a pre-workout before you work out will assist with muscle development, staying focused, staying energized, and pushing through fatigue as the ingredients within the pre-workout are designed towards taking your work out to the next level.
Creatine supplies energy to your muscles, assist with muscle recovery and helps give your muscles a fuller look.
BCAAs (Branch Chained Amino Acids) are usually made up of three essential amino acids including leucine, valine, and isoleucine. When you work out and your muscles get fatigued, the amino acids in your body start to break down. Drinking BCAA's during your workout will help your muscles recover and repair these broken down amino acids.
Depending on your weight and fitness goals, you may want to raise or lower the fat, carbohydrates, or protein intakes I have described above. But, at 2600 calories this diet keeps the macronutrients at a healthy 40/40/20 ratio (protein/carbohydrates/fat) and gives you room to manipulate the macronutrients to your needs.
Fueling your body with healthy foods and supplements, and saving some serious cash, is definitely not a game.
A majority of the population views a healthy eating lifestyle as something they can't do for a variety of reasons:
