Rice. Corn. Refined Sugar. Corn Syrup. Flour. Soy products. Lots of calories and government subsidies keep them very cheap. McDonald's Dollar Menu is super cheap when you look at $/calorie.

Potatoes!! Tilapia. Milk.

Chicken, rice, rice cakes, Peanut butter, bread, eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, potatoes (red), ground beef, corn (tortillas make stuff more interesting), pitas, peas (surprisingly excellent macro wise), bagels, Almond butter + whey, etc.

It helps if you shop around for deals too. I often spend around 250 a week on groceries, but it would easily be much more if I didn't check the (ok, the wife does that part) weekly ads.

Yep. Specially when you gotta eat a lot of veggies. If you wanna eat lettuce all dagger like a dollar a bunch it'll last you two days... Then sure

But if you wanna eat the good stuff (mushrooms, peppers, artichoke, spinach) get ready to pay like 5-8 bucks a day in veggies only lol. A fucking pack of Spinach is 4.99 around me... For 4 servings!! Outrageous

Can't we just bulk to the point where our metabolism just takes us to sub 10% body fat?

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure that out. I love to eat, but no kidding about cost! I die a little inside when one of the gals complains about this stubborn 3lbs left before competition weight.

I tend to reply, "That's a bowel movement sweetheart..."
