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 HEALTHY 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)
- Meal 6: 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 one of the following:
- Grilled Chicken Sandwich-
- Grilled Chicken Salad
- Chicken Rice Bowl
Drink only water and strive for 12 ounces at every meal.
This diet is easy to follow and dirt cheap.
It should ensure you get enough PROTEIN-EFA’s and quality CARBS in lieu of much more expensive options.

Coming to the end of this week and I could eat a horse. The making of the food is easy and quick, but 12 weeks will be a long time to run this for. I would be insterested to see if Jay runs the full version of this to see what he thinks. I will be doing this again next week and then off to vacation for a week which means probably not this diet but some good for you organic foods from the east coast. Always looking for a good shred. I enjoy the columns on my mobile phone RSS. Thanks for the info.

Hi Tom! Yes, it’s not an easy Diet. Add some Fiber capsules and lots of water to reduce hunger pangs. 12 Weeks of this Diet will SHRED ANYONE! Massive willpower necessary. I’m game for this starting the first week of August. Some other stuff going on in the TMC World soon enough that might make it very difficult. Thanks for reading and following along. Have a great weekend! TMC!
