Hit Sams Club. 5 huge steaks for $20-$25. I eat 5 steaks a day, 1 pound of turkey, 4 sweet potatos, 2 cups oatmeal, 120 grams of whole wheat carbs, 3 protein shakes, and a carb drink after the gym. It cost about $200 a week on food. And I'm still tiny @ 6'2" 240 lbs. ha! You have to eat to grow! tuna and chicken are for cutting! Red meat is the only way to get thick faster! Yeah you have to cook every other day but it's worth it. Unless you're rich and can eat 6000 cals a day eatin out you HAVE to cook your own food!
