Easily the cheapest way to get calories in, but then it is pure oily fat.
Good workout considering that I was feeling jaded.
Squats getting heavier now but doable. I'm changing the progression from 5kg to 2.5kg increments though.
Similarly the press is heavy but ok, progressions now changing from 2.5kg to 1.25kg. Hopefully this will combat stalling for a while.
Deadlifts felt good. They've been at around the same level as squats so far, but I see them overtaking soon.
Then I did stupid extra work that has left my anterior delts pretty fried.
3x5 CGBP and 3x10 curls at near max working sets. Fuck knows whether it was a good idea or not. Probably not.
Also, how is bodyweight still not increasing when I've already doubled my lunches up?
Well I drink plenty of whole milk but probably not enough to keep you happy!
Struggling at the moment to persuade my wife that I need to eat more, as we're on a bit of a budget at the mo! Managed to double my lunches up and I've been looking into other options.
I think it's crazy how many calories are in olive oil, so I'm contemplating adding that in to my diet. My issue and worry with this is it's macro breakdown, since it's entirely fat and not much else.

(Excellent marriage advice in general)
Are you or your wife a good cook? Learn to do things like roast an entire chicken and braise beef short ribs. They are fairly cheap by the pound. Eggs and milk are also your best friends.
Also, gram for gram, whey protein powders are actually fairly cost effective. So if you have a fairly tight budget, just sneaking in the $50 or so a month for a can of protein powder can be a cheap way to save dough in the long run.
