I count the hinting license, but bullets and snare wire go under outfit. I think hunting might just be cheaper here.

Wow, that is a detailed breakdown, well done! To answer your question, my budget does include supplements. I bought more supplements than usual this month because I was getting excited about strength training again. I will always take whey protein, multi-vitamin, and fish oil. I could definitely cut the other stuff (BCAAs, vasodialator, creatine, etc.), but it fits within my budget for now and I enjoy it... better than beer that's for sure! :)

Spartan_Warrior:
Not very many veggies, and no fruit in your diet - how does that work?

EMJ: Actually, I forgot to include my post-workout green smoothie of 2 servings veggie (collard greens and kale), 2 servings fruit (banana and strawberries), 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup OJ. Probably adds about $1.00-1.25 and about 200 calories MWF. I also have OJ frequently and throw in some applesauce and stir-fry veggies. Overall, you are correct. Whole fruits and vegetables are rather expensive per calorie and therefore I don't give them the priority they probably deserve in my efforts to maximize calories and hit correct macronutrient ratios for the lowest total cost. I will eat more when I start growing my own.
It's a work in progress.

Just to circle back since I looked up this thread anyway, I have more data on the leangains diet: I have gone from 165/14% at the beginning of the year to 162/10.5% today. Most of the fat loss was in the first 8 weeks, and strength gains have been consistent as well.

How bout the Carb Nite protocol?

Basically ultra-low-carb, with a bit of carb-heavy once in a while to re-stock and re-build the muscles.

Given how few have adopted it, it's unlikely to have any societal impact.

It's often referred to as OMAD now (One Meal A Day). Also 20:4 IF. Try searching those terms.

'Warrior' morphed into 'OMAD' when they started recommending the diet to breast cancer patients and post-menopausal women. A 16:8 diet is the standard recommendation for those women but 20:4 is considered the gold standard.
