People think building muscle is expensive. But you can do it for $8 a day. For Breakfast: Have an anabolic peanut butter smoothie—48g of protein for just $1.50. It’s cheap because milk and whey are some of the most affordable protein sources. Just blend milk, peanut butter, whey, a banana, and oats, and you’re set. For supplements, take 5g of creatine (15 cents) and a multivitamin (5 cents). For Lunch: A pre-workout chicken wrap with brown rice, spinach, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and a whole wheat tortilla—43g of protein for $2.01. For Pre-workout: A cup of coffee for 25 cents or a caffeine pill for just 5 cents. For your workout: Some gyms in the US and Canada cost as little as $10/month, which breaks down to 33 cents a day. Post-workout: A turkey and veggie stir-fry—46g of protein for $2.83. For tracking, MacroFactor only costs 20 cents a day if you go for the yearly membership. Before bed: Greek yogurt and peanut butter dip with apple slices and sunflower seeds—27g of protein for $1.60. Total cost: $8.92.

You really put us on game, appreciate it!
Love the budget breakdown!To keep these prepped meals fresh for the whole week without waste - vacuum seal the portions. No more dry chicken or soggy rice,and you'll save even more money by not tossing spoiled food.
The content is top notch I learned a lot from it.
developed country perks go brr
Good stuff!! Sorry for your loss.
The chicken wraps are so satisfying and versatile. I look forward to the lunch time everyday and that first bite never gets old
Or a caffeine pill for just 5 cents! Man we really out here struggling. LMAO.
Love your videos, they are extremely educational and applicable to a wide audience of people who are interested in focusing on their physical health. Your great at making all of this feel more accessible. Do you currently have one, or have plans to make a video for those on a time crunch that still want to see healthy muscle gains and fat losses? I think that plays a key factor in "weight lifting/healthy diet being affordable" Balancing all of these things on top of a full time work schedule. Anyways, thank you, I appreciate all of your content and looking forward to seeing what you produce next.
Bro is shopping at Kroger in 1979.
