Chicken breast isn't cheap.

Rice isn't calorie dense, potatoes are better it seems.

Idk what your local prices are but;
>turkey mince / ground turkey
>milk
>oats
>peanut butter
>bread
>sardines
>tuna
>whey is probably cheapest per serve for protein

PB sammich + a glass of milk = perfect snack

Fellow britbong and I'm in a similar boat here actually except I can't drink 200ml of milk or I'll shit blood and lose weight and I can't eat bread or pasta cause I'll shit blood and lose weight.


I drink Arla lactose free milk but it's not cheap.

PB sammich + a banana inside is good

You guys got any tips?

Basically shoving beef mince down my gullet and potatoes

Learn to love potatoes more.

Co-op does 1.5kg of potatoes for 99p

500g is 415 calories

go to aldi

buy:
peanut butter
frozen tuna
gammon
tons of eggs
tons of milk
tons of pasta

right you're gonna get a 4 pint jug of milk for £1 a day

carry it round all day and drink it

there's 1200kcal with 68g protein
also go to my protein and grab a big bag of unflavoured whey - it'll last months

so your day looks like this

wake up
breakfast
get to work and knock back protein shake
drink milk through the day - should be gone by 5pm
eat your usual food on top of this

this gives 1400 kcal + 118g protein before you even factor in food
tuna pasta for lunch and a frozen pizza/sausage and egg on toast for tea and you're looking at 3k calories and around 200g protein without breakfast; at a cost of around £4 a day for all your food

chicken and ham omelettes using 6 eggs

between meals grab a jar of PB and a spoon and just go nuts

I can get 5kg chicken breast for like 20 quid at my local butchers, however I opt for a leg which you can usually 10 for ten quid.

Tescos have started doing a cheap meats range where they're from some ambiguous farm, its like £1.36 for 4/5 chicken thighs. Fuck the chicken breast meme.

Eat more rice, or go for pasta if youre not dodging wheat. Get mixed nuts from Aldi or tescos and they'll be cheap I promise, unsalted, salt em yourself obv to have some dollar.

I eat:

>7:30 am :Oats/cornflakes with live yoghurt and blue berries
>10:30 : Oat cakes with spreads/tuna/peanut butter and some marmite on a couple for those b vitamins
>12:45 : Chicken leg with rice, peas, carrots, brocolli. I have an overflowing amount of spices so your meals dont have to be bland, learn to flavour and cook
>17:00 : Scrambled eggs, oat cakes, avacado maybe
>dinner : whatever the fuck i want usually made to last two days, recently had Hangi.

I have stayed consistently 12 stone for a year now.

Sweet potato is cheap < 1$ per pound. And super easy to bake

>I have stayed consistently 12 stone for a year now.

which of course isnt a bulk, I'm just displaying some meal plans and cheap stuff I buy.

I also eat alot of sweet potatoes which are great slow burning carbs. I havent really ever bulked though, so if I did it'd be a matter of eating more frequently or larger volumes.

>Eating 3 batches of potatoes a day
Rather kill myself senpai

Is drinking diluted Apple Cider Vinegar actually good for digestion and helping relieve bulking constipation or is it just a meme?

Bananas are 15p per banana and 84 calories

Nope. You need to eat more veggies

what are some good ground beef recipes?

500g cooked up and mixed with a cheap taco seasoning

I just buy pasta sauce of varying flavours and mix it in. Really easy, no prep time and tastes great with as much variety as you like.

Any tips for someone that can't eat wheat as well?

So what do you guys actually spend on your monthly food budget then?

How do you look like, what body goes with so much oats.

if you afford the membership fee or bum a trip off someone else, costco is hard to beat. their store brand shit is high quality and everything comes in bulk so youre forced to eat a lot.

basically anything with fat is gonna be more calorie dense, 9kcal/g as opposed to 4kcal/g for proteins and carbs. since you're building muscle, you basically pick shit that mixed proteins and fats

>ks organic peanut butter
>ks 10lbs shredded cheese, cheap
>ks milk, cheap as fuck
>ks eggs, cheap and organic available
>tons of cheap bulk meat
>$5 rotisserie chicken

Lentils

If you're lactose intollerant and can't drink milk buy lactaid. 28 quid from amazon.

Arla lactose free would cost you 45 quid month roughtly where as regular milk + lactaid 23 quid.

I know because I had to work it out myself

Thats an extra 20 quid for beef

Rice+legumes

>>$5 rotisserie chicken

Closest costco is 2 towns overs. But damn I'm tempted to drive and do a big bulk shop.
>then I remember the fuel cost would even it out

Eat your vegetables

Eat your vegetables

Eat your fucking vegetables

find some cheap all-you-can-eat buffets, there is one for £5 in my city
alternatively, yeah, eat fried potatoes

OP here thank you for the advice. Based on this thread and working out whats cheapest this is what I've got.


1 Litre Whole Milk
6 eggs
100g Oats
=1,431 kcal

500g 20% Minced Beef
500g White Potatoes
Pasta Sauce
=1,774 kcal

Coconut Oil to cook with

Total of 3,205 kcal

Costs £137 /month | £4.41 / day

>nuts are really expensive here in the UK
If you think you have it bad, come to Denmark. Our nuts cost almost twice as much as yours.

You will get sick of this after a week

>get a bowl
>add oats, peanut butter and a banana
>mix that shit together
>add milk
Energy and calorie bomb right there
Pretty cheap as well

and your salmon

So what? The point is to get the kcal in. Wouldn't be eating it for the taste.

Thank you, I'll chuck those in too when I need to bump up 500kcal.

If your meals are bland and repetitive. You won't want to eat them, you will seek out something tastier

erm pretty lean desu. Not showing my body because I remember a thread years ago where some gay dude said they take the body pics and put them on /hm/

Eggs + cheese (omelettes)

When you mash potatoes add cream (and pepper), grate some cheese on top.

>not having gsy dudes jerking to you for test gains

Greek yoghurt
Cottage cheese

solid post especially re: spices

grab rosemary, basil, tumeric, black and white pepper, cumin, taragon and chilli

combining these in various ways will yield incredible variation on the same couple of meals and will last forever after initial investment

fry half a kilo of beef with onions and place in an oven dish
cover lightly with cheese and sprinkle cumin over
boil 400g of pasta and layer on top of cheese
add a thick layer of cheese over the top

now whack it in the oven at 200c until the cheese starts to turn golden

I just buy "All Pupose" & "Bolognese Herbs" they fit the bill

Also have the standard Salt&Pepper

What will come first, scurvy or rickets?

I find it helpful to have them around; also lemon juice for fish and working with sugary stuff

then again I really enjoy cooking so for example I'll do cumin and basil deep fried meatballs

a gold spice mix goes a long way on a budget tho

I gave a list of staples to add to the diet for protein and kcal

hurr durr I must eat nothing else

>comparing food by calories with no regard to macros
>rice not calorie dense
what
>potatoes more calorie dense than rice
double what
taters bring ~70kcal/100g, rice (uncooked) 340
i'd like to help but you either completely refused to do your own research, are too calorie dense to interpret 3 digit numbers or baiting.
So my advice is to drink a gallon of oil a day for best budget bulking.

You're right thank you. Going to switch out rice for potatoes.

I always cook 1cup of rice
I usually cook 500g of potatoes.
>+ butter, milk, and cream if mashing

lol have you niggers cooked 500g of rice before??? fuck me that's a lot of volume to eat I struggle with 200g of basmahti

taters go down easier for me

You eat a kg of potatoes in one meal? Are you sure?

OP here. All about the rice it seems.

1 Cup rice = 189g = 670kcal
500g white potatoes = 510kcal

So wouldn't need to eat 500g of rice.

A tub of PB is 65p in Morrison's

20% fat beef is cheap as fuck

Sainsbury's has seriously cheap frozen fish

Also this, you'll thanks me later

Holy shit user you legend! Cheers mate.

>Rice isn't calorie dense, potatoes are better it seems.
? potatoes are not calorie dense at all.

Beef stroganoff with cream of mushroom instead of sour cream. Really easy to make, goes well with either pasta or rice.

Nuts, maybe noodles dependingn on your allergies, potatoes, fatty cuts of meat, bacon and eggs. Bananas are also calorie dense. You can easily eat two for a easy 200Cal snack

Pork shoulder joint is something like £2-£3 per kg
220kcal per 100g. 15g of fat 23g of protein.

Burgers

>4 pint jug of milk

4 pints of milk a day would make me sleepy as hell and kill me with eczema and acne

i barely manage to feel good drinking 3 two scoop shakes a day as it is because of all the milk

you get used to it

by the end you'll be a human black hole consuming anything that falls past your event horizon
