Liquid diets

I sometimes do this on days I can't bring food with me and it's hot outside. Most I had to do this was 5 days I think.

Protein powder + instant oats + peanut butter (packed in sachet serving) is usually the choice.

I still bring fruits like apples, oranges, bananas with me. Protein bars, beef jerky, cheese sticks, some pistachios and almonds.

I was doing some calculations this week and discovered that I could slash my weekly shopping bill by 50% eating mostly a liquid diet so I'm tempted to give it a go for financial reasons during these tough economic times but I don't wanna drop a load of size or make myself deficient of nutrients and start feeling ill.

Protein powder and oats/cereal would be the main staples of the eating plan. I'd eat some solid meals but only cooked chicken, rice, fruit, and potato. Everything else has got too expensive over the past 12 months and I think we are heading into another recession in UK...
 
Anyone ever tried this style of eating where you pack all your macros into `mostly` shakes?
I don't think this is a very good idea. For it is important for the body to digest hard food, again the world elements, the shell. The release rate of sugar will be higher. Peaks when sugar jumps will be higher. It seems to me, other things being equal, there will be more fat gain.
 
Yes...
When I had a broken jaw.

Never doing that again. LOL

Now I stick to 2-3 protein shakes a day on top of my 3-4 meals.

Are you considering this @1tank1


I think I'm gonna give it a go. I'll try and get a solid meal for breakfast or maybe a solid meal in the evening but all my other meals are gonna be shakes for atleast 3 months. I can't afford my usual food bill anymore :mad:

WoW, when the jaw is broken, I think life is full of shit, it seems to me. I can not imagine how you can live without the ability to chew and eat food.

This is what I do, I buy a bulk concentrate, and do 3 solid meals and 3 shakes, makes the.lifestyle a little.more affordable these days, I've so cut my meat consumption to 1 meal.a day rotating weekly from.beef, chicken and pork

Other sources i use are farm fresh eggs, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt.

It's the fresh meat/fish prices that have really fucked me up financially and forced me to change how I eat.
Fuel prices haven't helped my budget either...

Same boat here, thankfully fuel hasn't killed me as a live and work in a small town so my.fym and work.commute is a combined 5km lol
 
Check frozen meats... price is usually a bit better than fresh.

Fish chicken beef etc

It's all nasty compared to fresh bro (white fish not too bad when mixed in with mashed potato and seasonings). Tried some frozen meat already but it actually made me gag and vomit trying to swallow it after cooking coz the texture is totally different with meat that was pre-frozen/defrosted.

I see... how the frozen white fish prices? I usually include lots of basa(white fish) in my diet. Cheap lean protein

Frozen white fish fillets here are still a reasonable price...but tinned tuna is more convenient/no cooking/similar price.

If I want a bland fish flavour I will steam some white fish and mix with mashed potato and some greens/veg on the side but most of the time I will just have a tuna salad or wholewheat tuna sandwich coz it's quicker.
 
I do the 3 shakes a day and 3 meals thing myself but for convenience and I didn't take care of my teeth as well when I was younger so eating alot of meat every day wears on them even harder. But I still get around 220 to 300g of protein a day 400 to 550g carbs and 100g or less of fat

Around d here all frozen fish is Chinese farm fish, definitely don't want to eat that on the regular

And what kind of activity do you have and your own weight. To understand the level of deficit and surplus.
