| When you don't have alot of money that doesn't mean you have to eat like s**t. In order to make your $ last just stop eating out. Heeyyyoooo!!
Eat at home Breakfast: soymilk, almonds, dried fruit or bananas, apples, oatmeal
Pack a Lunch: whole grain bread, all natural peanut butter and jelly or sliced deli meat, bananas, apples, trail mix
Eat at home: Amy's frozen meals, vegetables, pasta, etc.
Snacks: fruit it is cheap and healthy
When your training hard you need to eat a lot of these foods but its all cheap, simple and healthy. |

| Fat gives you big calories for little cost with fantastic satiation. I frequently saute my vegetables in bacon grease, butter or coconut oil which satisfy me all day for cheap. |

Fat has the most calories per gram. Maybe it just slows down your digestion enough for you to feel full... But if you want energy your body can more easily turn carbs into fuel, and will use protein before it uses fat. Fat gets VERY special treatment in the body... |

But if you want energy your body can more easily turn carbs into fuel, and will use protein before it uses fat. Fat gets VERY special treatment in the body... I'll agree that your body's immediate and possibly preferred source of fuel is carbohydrates... Hell, it even converts excess protein into carbohydrates via glucogenesis! However... ketones, the by-products of fat, are also a great source of energy IF your body has adapted to using them... The brain actually operates some 20-30% more efficiently on ketones than carbohydrates. I believe that intermittent fasting helps tap into your adipose fat stores AND enables your body to use these dietary fats as a means of energy with no problem. I've been on a high-carb diet and a moderately low-carb diet (less than 100g a day) and experienced a more even, high level of energy doing low-carb and high-fat... but it definitely took me a good two to three weeks to adapt. With that said, I still will have a little starch for re-fueling after a hard workout. Like... Right about now. ;-) Fat is good, fat is good! |

Fat is good, fat is good! Never said fat wasnt good, even though i will right now say i think bacon grease is not very healthy. Not only that, but your CNS can only run on carbohydrates. Ketones can be used for a while, but ketosis makes your body extremely acidic, and taxes multiple systems. Protein is only converted to carbs after deamination, which makes your body very acidic and taxes it aswell. All this being said my mom is a nutritionist and she is on a healthy highER healthy fat diet (while being vegetarian). She has a sixpack and is very in shape. Different people can handle different things. WHatever works for you. |

| Nobody's having zero carbs or anything like that. Most people only need, at most, 150 grams or so of carbohydrates a day. That's 600 calories. Add in your protein and you've got a lot of room. I think that fats are great, as long as you have the right fats. You shouldn't just have purely saturated fats, and you shouldn't have only unsaturated fats. But you should certainly have both.
The one thing that most people really need to worry about is staying fairly lean. How many lean people do you see that run into major issues(diabetes, heart disease, etc.)? |
