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.

6 months ago i applied in a gym. Gained no muscle at all. I might have to go there in person to see what's going on.
Rounding 8.92 to 8 instead of 9 is diabolical 🤣 Great video though
Jeff is out here removing all barriers to fitness with this short and the short workout one. Thanks for keeping us focused, Jeff.
Damn, I had $8 ready, but now I'm 92 cents short.
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!!
The funny thing is that so many people spend way more than this on food daily. One restaurant/fast food meal and you’re already over $8. Eating healthy ain’t that expensive!
As college student Im a proud member of the Tuna/eggs/chicken team
Jeff the kinda dude to look at a couch that costs 1,999.99 and think wow only nineteen hundred! 😂
For those who are curious it's 267.6 dollars per month tysm for 1k likes love y'all
This might sound a little sad but For protein, I go to Costco, get two whole rotisserie chickens($5 each), shred em, add some seasoning and make 200g meal preps and freeze it. I make 10 servings and take them to work in the morning. I also get a Caesar salad pack 8ish from Costco too
Biggest sweet tooth hack: put some peanut butter in a small bowl, microwave it for a minute until its like a sauce and dip apple slices in it. The melted peanut butter tastes sweeter and is more palatable on an apple. Plus there is a warm / cold temperature with a crunch. Its a satisfying snack.
The goat of gym influencers
Instructions unclear: I opened a tub of creatine at the local supermarket to take $0.18 worth of creatine and I got banned from the supermarket
The editing lately is so fucking impressive feels like I’m watching an educational documentary
Bro was fiending for that wrap
Not gonna lie. I've never been the biggest fan of the whole " you can do x $ a day" videos. For the average person who this is for, doing cost of portion doint really help people internalize vs whole sale products and weekly/ monthly spending. No one is Julius from everybody hates chris. I can't put a slice of turkey on a sandwich and go, "That's a good 80 cents of turkey, and that 10 cents for the squirt of mustard was a good choice." I can be deceptive when you actually do grocery shop.
Come to Australia where that eating plan will cost $89:20 per day 😂
There is no place in the world where you can get that little food for that price you gotta buy in quantity 😂
A banana for 17 cents? Jeff. I think you never set foot in a grocery store.
Thanks for actually counting all the smaller ingredients as well instead of doing this like many other cooking/fitness influencers that just assume everyone has unlimited supply to things like spices and sauces and thus they don't count.
