The Muscle Couple here with some help for those a bit strapped from the current economic malaise.

This diet is for those who really can't afford all of the other Nutritional supplements and thermogenics we have written about.  Its not hard to follow and most of foods can be found at any Grocery in the US.

You can easily stay strong-lean and in good condition for about $50/week.

  • Meal 1: 3 Eggs-3Egg Whites-3 Strips Turkey Bacon-1 English Muffin
  • Meal 2: 1 Whole Apple and 2 Tablespoons Natural Peanut Butter
  • Meal 3: 1 Can of White Tuna and 1 Tablespoon Safflower Mayo(If Leaning Out no carbs/If maintaining 1 English Muffin/If trying to gain 2 English Muffins
  • Meal 4: Same as Meal 3

Training Days

  • Meal 5: 16-24 Ounces of Lactose Free Milk Before-During and After your training. (A low budget Muscle Couple Mix)

Non Training Days

  • Meal 5: 10 Ounces Salmon(or cheapest Clean Fish in Bulk at your Grocery)-Rice and Green Veggie

Night Snack: 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter and 8 Ounces Lactose Free Milk(only if trying to gain muscle)

If you can't prepare your Dinner and/or leave your Tuna Cans at home, eat Fast Food and order only a Grilled Chicken Sandwich-Salad or Rice Bowl. Drink only water and strive for 12 ounces at every feeding.

This diet is easy to follow and dirt cheap. It should ensure you get enough protein, EFA's and good carbs from your food in lieu of much more expensive supplements.

Feel free to ask questions about substitution foods and meals in the comments section.
