More specifically what types of things do you eat? Is fast food okay? How do you prepare your meals?
Do you eat the same amount of food on non-workout days that you do on days working out?
Heres a sample of my eating schedule

Meal 1:Scrambled Eggs w/ ham or Oatmeal, Milk, OJ, Whole Grain Toast w/butter

Meal 2:Tuna Sandwich, milk

Meal 3: Chicken Burrito w/ Rice and beans

WORKOUT

Meal 4: 2 hamburgers with baked potato

Meal 5: Sandwich w/ cold cuts

Meal 6: 6 drumsticks w/ rice

for the next two or three meals I've run out out of ideas. And what kind of shakes should I make? Home made? Whey, Weightgainer...thanks.

I hear you man. The key to eating on a budget is buying in bulk and looking for sales on the stuff you need. It pays to shop around and see which stores carry certain items at the best price. Until I finish school, I'm going to have to budget my food pretty tightly.

I have it fairly easy compared to most,I still live at home and I just give my mom 50 bucks when she does groceries and she buys the things I need but it still isnt enough most of the time.
but I get 2500-3000cals a day on a good day

i read somewhere that bb'ing was 70-90% nutrition the other % is movin the weight up and down.....makes total sense cant build muscle if you arent feeding the muscles you just broke down.

Digesting your food is another important part of eating. Just eating does not qualify.

Some people like milk. Others get stomach problems from it. Same thing with meat and cheese. I have problems with a lot of cheese, like the amount you'd get in one or two slices of pizza. I used to have some serious problems with meat, but the problems ceased several years ago when I stopped eating it. I am fine with milk.

Pick foods that you can digest.

Some of the easiest to digest foods are eggs, fruit, and fruit/protein smoothies.

Okay, this is gonna be my diet starting sept 1:

1. 5 Egg whites and 2 Cheese on bagel
2-3 Glasses of Crystal Light

2. 2 Ginger Root
Protein Shake (60g protein, 50g Carbs, 15g fat)
1 Glass of water

3. 2 Ginger Root
Protein Shake (60g protein, 50g Carbs, 15g fat)
1 Glass of water

4. Glass of cranberry juice
1.5scoops whey + 1/2 table spoon coffee + 1 equal

5. (Half a gallon of water during workout)
2 Ginger root
600mg ALA
2 scoops whey + 1 scoop isopure + 1 banana
1 Tyson Chicken
1 Baked Potatoe
Glass of cranberry juice
1 Glass of water

6. 10 whole eggs
2-3 Glasses of Crystal Light
1 Glass of water

7. 3 Tyson Chicken
2-3 Glasses of Crystal Light
1 Glass of water

8. 2 Ginger Root
Protein Shake (60g protein, 15g fat)
1 Glass of water

I hope to gain muscle with this with minimal fat gains.

I will change it up a bit since college is about to start as I will be forced to eat cafeteria food. I will most likely replace the shakes with cheese burgers (no bread). I added protein shakes in there as "placeholders," since I am not completely certain on the cafeteria food.

I planned the diet so I don't eat any carbs in the last 3meals of the day. Also, no fats during pre and post workout.

Also, this is what I ate today:

11:00: 1 Glass of Cranberry Juice
11:45: 2 scoops whey + 1/2 table spoon coffee + 2 equal
01:45: 3 Tyson Chicken
03:15: 400g steak and 2 large baked potatoes
04:30: 1.5serving Natural Peanut Butter
06:00: 2 scoops whey + 1/2 table spoon coffee + 2 equal
07:15: 6 ovenmade chickens and 3 potatoes
09:15: 1 serving Peanut Butter
11:00: 5 Whole Eggs

Will get in one more meal today.
