E, you are correct and I am by no means saying that one MUST spend a grand on food every other week, not at all. BUT, in order to be 300lbs in the offseason carrying that amount of muscle, one is spending a lot on food alone. I don't care if it's frozen chicken or fish, the amount needed increases the cost alone. For guys like you and I, we could realistically eat for relatively cheap because we aren't carrying around that amount of mass. Throw another 100 pounds on us, whole different ballgame. The point I was trying to make is that I personally, highly doubt that what he said is the truth. 20-21 years old, working 50+ hours a week while getting his pro card and paying all of his own stuff, while having a house to pay for, come on. Sorry, but I've met a ton of kids that are 20-21 in my short time on this earth and not a single one of them was making the kind of money it would take to be walking around at that size while owning their own house and paying their own bills. The ONLY time I've personally known anyone at that age to have the money it would take to do that is when they are still living off their parents i.e. "work" for their parents, parents give them a house so they can say it's theirs etc
Obviously one can eat decent on a relatively low budget, even so, the amount of food needed would rack the grocery bill up rather quickly
I've said this before, but I was spending $400 per week precontest.on food, and that wasn't even with expensive meat.
