I used to think the same as well, but a 3 pound bag of chicken that costs 7 bucks will last you a good week or two. Eggs are great and only 2 bucks at most for a dozen. A few things of pasta and some sauce are only a couple bucks. Vegetables are cheap, and if the fresh ones are too expensive hit the frozen aisle and buy the sale ones. You can buy a huge thing of oats to make oatmeal with for like 3 bucks.

Bam - 2 weeks worth of food for like $60.

Protein powders and supplements are great but if you can't afford them you can do it with regular food.

Sorry - the thread is 'overpriced nutrition' and is at the top of the nutrition forum now.
