Having just started body building a month ago, I have got a lot of questions. Especially the diet part. I hope some of you here wouldn't mind to help me a little on this.

And also, having just started working, I can't afford supplements. Not every month at least. Anyway, here's how my usual diet look like:

Morning:
4 half-boiled eggs (all egg whites + only 2 yolks)
A glass of milk
2 slices of bread + a slice of cheese

or

Milk + cereal (usually POST cereal, but definitely not Coco Crunch, etc.)


Afternoon:
Mixed rice (vegetables + chicken or beef)

or

Chicken Rice (with extra chicken meat - breast meat, minus skin)


Night:
Chicken Rice (with extra chicken meat - breast meat, minus skin)

or

Whatever I can find...but usually some rice with extra chicken.


While I am quite certain the diet is OK, i am not very sure if the nutritional value is good enough. Also, I'd definitely need more variety to my meals as I'd be getting bored of them very soon. I have stopped all types of junk food (McD's, chips, fizzy drinks, etc.) and oily & fattening food (fried stuff, curry, etc). Whenever possible, I also avoid food like Maggi Goreng and Nasi Goreng, etc.

The bigger concern for me is that, what i can take in lieu of protein supplements which I can hardly afford?

Thank you all

Weighing at 78kg now. I'm 178cm. Goal...? Hmm, this is difficult. How should i answer? The last time i measured i have about 18% of body fat. I'm determined to cut it down to probably 12-15%.

Thanks Florian. I know I am not eating enough but I seriously can't stomach that much of food. On the other hand, I actually afraid that I would get fat...I know that's silly but I have so much fat at my midsection I just have this distorted logic playing on my mind.

In between my 3 meals, what sorta snacks can I take?
