Ship some to Toronto too please decaf.

Cutting's such a bitch. Since I'm only eating 1500-2000 calories on my rest days, I'm having trouble getting enough protein in. Milk doesn't help since it has a lot of carbs. Also I ran out of protein powder so I really need to order some ASAP. Being back home and having to eat rice again doesn't help either;; I want to eat junk food again T_T

milk is £1 for 2.2 litres at tesco , iirc
amazzzing price, beats the shit out of anything else
still thats £7 a week, £28 a month

im buying the cheap ass "chocolate" bars for £0.50 each for 500kcal

i cant really drink 2.2 litre of milk a day (start to feel sick after a while), so say i have 2x chocolate bar + 1 litre milk = 1600kcal right there, need another 1900kcal from proper food

2x chocolate + 1litre milk = £1.50/day or £10.5/week
i just done my first normal shopping of the year, came to about £38 just for veg (potato aubogine carrot mushrom pepper colliflower cabbage brussels tomatoes and brocolli) and meat (4 packs of 5 pork steaks for £12).

so im wondering how long my veg are gonna last - if they last 2 weeks that brings it to 36-12 = 24/2 = £12/week on veg.
12 veg + 12 meat + 10.5 chocolate+milk = £34.5/week

20 pork steaks / 14 days = 1.4 steaks a day
12/20 = 60p/steak, or £1.20 for 2 per day = £16.80 per 2 weeks
thats only 50g of protein a day, add 1 litre milk + 2x chocolate thats 120g protein, add some veg (?) thats 130g protein (i guess? dunno abt veg).
add 1 meal of tinned fish (ew), say they are 15g protein atm, but cost £1/tin = another £7/week

totals
meals per day = 2 steaks + veg + 1litre milk + 2x chocolate bar + fish meal
protein per day = 15 + 130 = 145g/day
cost per week = 7 fish + 8.4 meat + 10.5 choc+milk + 12 veg = £37.90 per week *sigh*

notes:
-have 2 steaks a day, buy more when run out
-veg needs to last until 17th or 18th of jan (2 weeks time)
-can probs buy that chocolate for a bit cheaper
-cant buy anything else whatsoever, ever, coz already at budget limit t.t
-still need to make sure butter is healthy coz the back of the tub says its vegetable oil and i thought that was a killer

kcals
2x steak 310
2x chocolate 1000
1L milk 600 iirc
1 tin fish 65

= 2000kcal

so i need 1500kcal from vegetables, how the fuck am i gonna cram that down me
if there are 100kcal in 100g of potato, i need to eat 1.5kg of potato every day (or 5kg of brocolli)?

- i dont think its good for me to drink 2L milk a day, after a week or so i start to feel shitty
- the chocolate is VERY handy because i can take it to work, eat it on the bus, easy quick snack, whatever. plus 500kcal for 50p is very good afaik. i should trial it anyway
- id love to get protein powder but thats another £35+ per month. i think having solid food protein (tin of fish with mash/jacket potato and butter) would probably be better than a scoop of liquid milkshake. i could still factor in the protein shake at some point (140g protein per week otherwise on this system) but i do need to bank some money too
- i only eat peanut butter on toast incase the sticky bread gets stuck in my mouth and i chuck up LOL. i do LOVE peanut butter toast tho.....i always make a mess

Lol, when I'm home I'm only 2 hours from Montreal and Milk is $2.30 here, or $4.xx if you want the "organic" stuff. Damn that canadian government, right?

@Decaf, I've got the same problem. Bulking, I have to count every calorie that goes into my mouth and force myself to eat when I'm not hungry. Cutting is EZPZ.
