How To Build Muscle For $8/Day (Budget Friendly Meal Prep)

People think building muscle is expensive. But you can do it for $8 a day.

For Breakfast: Have an anabolic peanut butter smoothie—48g of protein for just $1.50. It’s cheap because milk and whey are some of the most affordable protein sources. Just blend milk, peanut butter, whey, a banana, and oats, and you’re set. For supplements, take 5g of creatine (15 cents) and a multivitamin (5 cents).

For Lunch: A pre-workout chicken wrap with brown rice, spinach, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and a whole wheat tortilla—43g of protein for $2.01.

For Pre-workout: A cup of coffee for 25 cents or a caffeine pill for just 5 cents.

For your workout: Some gyms in the US and Canada cost as little as $10/month, which breaks down to 33 cents a day.

Post-workout: A turkey and veggie stir-fry—46g of protein for $2.83. For tracking, MacroFactor only costs 20 cents a day if you go for the yearly membership.

Before bed: Greek yogurt and peanut butter dip with apple slices and sunflower seeds—27g of protein for $1.60.

Total cost: $8.92.

  1. A nutrition coach can cost $200-300+ per month. My nutrition app, MacroFactor, costs a tiny, tiny fraction of that ($5.99/month if you go for the yearly membership) and does actually coach you based on your unique metabolism.

    It’ll adjust your calories and macros up or down over time as your metabolism adapts to ensure that you reach your goal. All you need to do is follow the plan. Try it for 2 weeks for free by using code JEFF when you download in the App Store or on Google Play! Let’s get it!!

  2. Skim milk is nice. But my issues are:
    – a bit lactose intolerant
    – and it actually has more carbs than protein, and doctor said i should lower my blood sugar level.

  3. I see videos like this but I’m extremely light and I want to put on 40-50 lbs of healthy weight. Do I eat more or just workout less?
