A lot of threads throw an importance on having the right supplements and protein shakes and bars and whatnot to get the most out of a workout. I have no room in my budget for any of that.

How can I get the same benefits of a protein shake in normal food?

obvious. i'm new here. yeaaaaa.
 
Food is better than supplements.

Spend your money on food, if you have money left over then look into supplements.

If you don't have money for supplements, then don't buy them.
 
Zach, im in your same position. I have been layed off for 7 months and after driking my meals for the first 5 months i look like my avater. my grocery list has been this the last few months:

chicken, ground beef, eggs, almonds, olive oil, brown rice, spinach, green beans, sweet potatoes, milk, cottage cheese and chocolate syrup.

Nothing more, nothing less. My girlfriend wants to kill me but its buy less variety of good food or more variety of shitty food. Im sticking with the former for now...
 
go to your local food supply store..I have a GFS where I live and I buy 10 lbs of chicken breasts for $10..You have to be inovative when it comes to budgeting food. If you have a Sams Club or a store like it , look for deals on food...
 
I do the 10-20lb bags up frozen chicken breast. I forget what it is, like $7-10. You can go in the goya isle. They have 25-50lb bags of rice, including brown, jasmine..whatever you want. Just dont take the easy way out, youll probably have to shop around.
 
Eating good clean food beats supps any day. Think back 50 years to the start of bodybuilding era. Its started before that but work with me here. This guy did not have access to supps just good food and hard work!

Yeah personally I use egg Beaters and milk to make my protein shakes. and sams club is a great place to buy potatoes and such.

I drank egg whites outa the carton for awhile till my wife kicked me out of the bedroom. My ass smelled like death every time I passed gas...

So no more egg beater egg whites for me...
