looks like bodybuilding aint a cheap sport.

Well not that expensive considering that if you eat 400g chicken breast a day mean that you would not need to spend more on protein shake. (lol I just realized this )

Being a beginner, there is no need to spend more on other supplement like creatine and amino acid pills etc. right?

so basically 100g of chicken breast equals to how much protein?

at mydin...

How do you guys define chicken breast? There are chicken ribs and chicken keels which actually pretty much make up the breast part.

wtf man..only 1 meal. hmm in tht case let me calculate...
.. ..  in 1 week.u spend more than rm200 just on chicken breast FFUU!

No need to depend on single source of protein. U can choose other source of protein. There is alot more. Eggs, tofu, etc.. Those also cheap.

I eat chicken breast almost every day but never reach rm200 per week.

erm can explain how many protein intake i should take daily? i hear a comment said that 100lbs u take = 100g of protein u need? plz correct me

While the Mydin option is good, do also check out the 3 for RM 10 promos done by Giant. Normally per pack is 250gram of raw chicken. It's more of a steal if you go for the fillet (since you don't need to cut whatsoever. hehe)

But the best option would be to look for keels. Usually it's RM 11 per kg. And it's a also a good choice. Since 1kg nets you quite a few keels.

how you people cook chicken breast? share recipe please

same question here..pls...

i only marinated it with black pepper & little of soy sause. if lasy to marinated just boil it and eat it

general rule of thumb is 1g of protein per 1lbs bodyweight.

75kg mean i one day need around 150g onli?

165g of protein to be precise. 1kg = 2.204lbs

oo i see.. tat is the amount of protein i need to take daily right? how about day of workout? it should be more but how much ya?

okay thx alot for ur useful info... one last question... due to $ constraint, should i take real food only (as long as it reach the amount of carb, protein, fat) and stop taking supplement? erm i would said that i am intermediate since workout in gym for 2 years..

I am also in the same boat as you. As a student, money is always a constraint; unless you have a rich family. I found out that by cooking, I can easily hit my macro and daily calorie intake for just well below than RM 10.00. I do have time to cook so why not? For people who have time constraint, they may opt for supplements to help them hit their macro. It all depends on you.

All in all, real food is much better than supps but by hook or by crook, you need to reach that macro and calorie target.

oo so do u mind to share ur diet and cooking style here? haha...

oo i see.. how about egg? i mean breakfast, lunch and dinner in detail if possible?

This is more or less my daily diet
My lunch would be:
1 can of Tuna
2 tablespoons of CED Peanut Butter
3 first Choice Eggs
4 tablespoons of Planta

Dinner:
200g minced meat
3 tablespoons of Planta
3 first Choice Eggs
2 tablespoons of CED Peanut Butter
1 can of Tuna, 3 eggs

No veggies in this diet?
No carbs?

I hope you accidentally missed those out because seriously, IMHO this diet is a disaster without any of those - it looks incredibly unbalanced.............

You need carbs to work out (and you need carbs so you won't get low test).
You need greens for a whole lot of reasons!!

I'm on Keto diet so there is no Carbs involve in my diet. I left out the veggies, because of the word 'This is more or less my daily diet'. I do take them, brocolli to be precise whenever available.

Btw, test are from fats, not carb.

Nope.

Google ultra-low-carb/keto diet and hypothyroidism. I'm not taking a pop at you, that stuff can have long-term serious effects on your health and your sex drive.

I wouldn't ever recommend any of those diets - low(er) carb diets shouldn't be reduced to under 50g a day and any proper diet (with training program) will need a carb-heavy day(s) weekly.

I'll do some research about that after I've done with my exam. Here is the link for my primary source of info on Keto, and I have few others but they doesn't touch anything about hypothyroidism. In fact, there is a forumers that lost 150lbs from Keto and didn't get this problem.

I started eating a low carb paleo diet about 10 months ago because it sounded like it might help with my Ulcerative Colitis. It was kind of a miracle at first because within a couple months or so I was off all of my meds and doing awesome. It continued to go well for a few more months as I got more ripped and my stomach was doing great.

About 6 months in I started noticing little bald patches in my hair near the hairline on my forhead. It seemed very strange and had me freaked out, but thought maybe it was due to aging (I'm 33). They continued to get worse and a couple months later I started noticing very fine wrinkles in the skin on my arms. I noticed that I get them all over my body if I take the slack out of my skin. I definitely never had this before and I'm starting to freak out that I'm going to start looking like a 60 year old man by the time I turn 34.

I recently found some websites where they talk about low carb diets causing hypothyroidism. I looked up the symptoms and I feel like I have several. I have hair loss, dry and wrinkly skin, and decreased sex drive. I feel like my memory is worse than it was a year ago (however it is impossible to tell, and I could be imagining that one).

Also my temperature is always below 97 now, and it wasn't that low in the past, which apparently is another symptom. I realize that many of these are signs of aging, and I'm not sure how old people typically are when they start getting wrinkles and stuff, but it does not seem natural to age this much within such a short timeframe.

1 kg of chicken breast is RM 10.00, by alien9.
