I'm doing the 5 meal s a day thing. 125g carbs, 250g protein daily, split up as evenly as possible over 5 meals. sandwiches with one slice of bread. cottage cheese and an apple as a meal. two tablespoons of cooked rice with a monster load of chicken and broccoli.

right now i have prepackaged in my fridge/freezer
-14 servings of chicken broccoli and rice,
-19 servings of lean (i ground it myself) cajun pork and beef meatloaf with mashed potatoes with leeks and onions, olive oil, skim milk, salt and pepper, and red cabbage, and
-8 chicken burritos with beans, olives, onions, and spinach, as well as
-14 green apples and 6 servings of lowfat cottage cheese. and
-2/3 lb of deli chicken with whole grain bread and bok choy.

this is 44 individual meals, or about 22 days worth if i do either 4 meal days or 3-shake, 2-meal days.

i have additional uncooked lean meats, fish and scallops in the freezer, potatoes in the fridge, etc.

anyone else doing this? anyone else burdened by cooking/scheduled eating? any tips? suggestions?

how the hell did you manage to make all that food and how much $$ did it cost you?

i spent yesterday and today shopping and cooking all morning. i figure now i have a lot of free time to do more important things like SQUATZ. i have to affix a new bike seat to the old rig today, for example, because the old one is a standard, between-the-legs pointy one and i'd rather not go impotent, thanks.

i live alone, my kitchen is big and i ONLY keep health food in the house. i have a ton of tupperware so i portion out my meals into either single servings or double servings which work GREAT for a night at work (i work 4-12 in the evening and i usually eat at 6 and 9)

it cost surprisingly little. all the food i cooked PLUS the yet uncooked food in the freezer was less than $150. the trick is to buy it in large amounts.

holy shit i'm just realizing that i fed myself for 2 months on about $200 (taking into account the carbs and veggies i'll have to buy for my frozen meats). i'm going to go buy a boat.

That's impressive man. I spend about $30/day on food and it's gotta stop.

I do the six meals/day thing. Attached is a sample.

finally someone who is serious about diet. with proper training you are gonna make SICK progress. THIS is how you plan your meals.

OP, make sure to have good fats. fish oil, olive oil, animal fat, flax oil (milled flax seed). nuts. otherwise, flawless

OP i hope you don't mind if i steal every single part of your diet for my own. that all sounds delicious and with the farmer's market tomorrow i'ma try and spend even less on all that than you did :P

OP, I am a fat fuck. I changed my diet once for a three month period and lost a lot of weight without even exercising. I realize if I make a permanent lifestyle change and workout I'll actually be back at a healthy weight and state. I just want to say that your post was kind of the help I needed to get restarted on this.

What program did you do to create that chart?

OP, you mention 3-Shake/2-Meals a day: What kind of shakes? Are you getting a deal, making them yourself, or did you already factor that into the cost?

The "I forgot to pack lunch" bar I store at work is about 2 bucks a piece, but they go up to 4 bucks easily. Shakes are rarely much cheaper. I'd hate to see your excellent plan fail because of supplement costs.

Other than that, well done! You seem to be limiting your starches well, and you have a good mix of everything else so you don't get bored of one kind of serving too quickly. Always remember: Most spices have almost zero dietary footprint. They are your friend.
