How do you keep to a strict diet in Singapore?

RETARDED_MORON SG

People keep advocating things like six small meals a day, 1.5 grams of protein per lbs. of body weight, complex carbohydrates, etc. How exactly is that feasible in Singapore, unless one stays at home all the time and has access to the most wholesome food? Confused

I started a weight lifting programme recently, and I don't want my iron-pumping efforts to go down the drain because of bad diet.

Dream physique:

Schwarzenegger in his prime. Holy shiiiit!

its possible, but will require some of your time and effort.

you can prepare food such as sandwiches, these can be eaten, anywhere anytime. or if you have access to a microwave, you can bring along stuff and heat in the microwave. I myself take sandwiches most of the time, you can prepare them in the morning before you leave, or the night before, what ever is best for you.

eating healthy is not easy, or else much more people would do it, the rewards are well worth it though Very Happy

Yes it’s possible. You may not be able to count calories effectively when you eat anything other than food you’ve prepared yourself, but you can still count portions and make smart choices when dining out. Your choices will be more limited (no hokkien mee, no prata, etc) but with so many of us doing it and getting reasonable results, how can you say it’s not possible?

So what are cheap sources of protein, besides tuna? Not whey definitely. Confused

galapogos SG

Why not whey? Have you calculated how cheap whey actually is? Besides, it's a great source of protein during the workout window.

Other sources - all animals(fish, poultry, meats), dairy products.

Where do you buy whey? GNC? That's not exactly cheap! Confused

galapogos SG

Who the hell buys whey from GNC nowadays? Online prices are much lower. You can get it down to $50+/5lb tub if you look hard enough.

Well its hard to have like 6 meals per day especially if u r working. Isnt it awkard to bring tupperware of food? N espically guys like us in NS, 6 meals per day is impossible....N not all places got microwave

N wad we eat here in Spore doesnt go well with bodybuilding. How much does beef cost here , in case if u dont know its very expensive. Where do we get stuff like whole grain bread, whole and pure oats, cottage cheese which are described to be good food for building muscle.

Wad about food sold in Singapore? The only ideal meal i can think off is chicken rice with white rice n breast meat n btw not all stalls have white rice. Another i can think off is fish soup /beef soup but the amout of meat they give is pathetic Laughing

galapogos SG

There are ways to get around this. Tupperware isn’t that awkward once you get used to it. Bringing bottles of shakes, healthy snacks such as canned tuna, nuts, etc. There are many options, even when working. As for NS, that’s just 2.5 years of your life, and depending on your vocation and unit, you can bring in your own food too.

RETARDED_MORON SG

Please tell me how you prepare tuna so that it tastes, at the very least, acceptable. Confused

galapogos SG

Personally I eat it with olive oil, but you can easily make a tuna sandwich as well. Many people eat it out of a can as well.

RETARDED_MORON SG

Great. Thanks for the suggestions. Wink

You go on a strict body building diet and pig out once a week.If you want a great body you have no other choice.

Short Ninja SG

Cuz Whey can balloon some people and and make them fat

galapogos SG

They must be taking really crappy whey for that to happen.

borntolive SG
