btw a buddy of mine started deer hunting cause deer meat is in the same category as chicken, he buys bunch deer tags, he said it saves a lot of money, I wonder how much deer meat you get from 1 deer

I guess it depends where you live and how much protein you eat per day. If you eat 300+ protein per day you will be having to 1. either look for deals on chicken breast, fish, and protein powders (if that's your thing. If you eat 150-200 per day you can get away with a bit more expensive choices lean cuts of beef, better species of fish. With that being said if you live in Canada you are pretty much fucked. The cheapest sources of protein here are canned tuna and eggs/ eggwhites.

That's helped a lot of people right there. Makes it simple to see and do.

I spend about 3x the cash on precontest dieting.

also I think my buddy might be onto something here, he looks great and is a hunter and fisherman ,he eats lots of deer meat and game fish like crappie and walleye ,it saves him a fortune

How do you figure venison is in the same category as chicken?

it doesn't get any cheaper than chicken breasts, ground beef, sweet potatoes, and rice. when i was a student i would make up a ton of sheppards pie, etc. it was easy calories.

compare deer steak and chicken breast, deer steak has a better nutrition value and completely lacks fat compared to say beef steak, I guess I should have said deer steak vs chicken breast

Deer is a staple in my diet. Just got done eating some actually. As far as deer being cheap it's not, for me atleast. Leasing land, equipment, processing ect, it's adds up.

Makes sense. You slay the deer, then you eat it.

Eating clean is cheaper than eating shitty IMO...chicken breast/fish are cheap if you buy frozen in bulk, and white rice/oats are pretty much free. Add in some whey and veggies, how is it expensive??? I spend way more when I am not dieting cause I want more variety and start buying weird shit.

I have two freezers full of deer meat and if i have to i will buy another just for the meat.

your cost for leasing land is the big one, my buddy hunts private land no cost, butcher charges 60$ per deer and deer tags are 24$ each, one member said a deer yields 40% of natural weight ,so 120lb deer would give 50lbs deer meat, go to grocery store and buy 50lbs beef and see how much you spend, hunting would save you a fortune

Just depends where you shop and what you are willing to compromise on. If you buy your meat at Costco, it is cheap. If you prefer organic from Whole Foods, well, not so much.

And avoid eating out. That's the real budget breaker.

Just got back from Sam's Wholesale. Boneless skinless chicken breast in 10 lb packs , ( $1.77 lb. ) . That's pretty damn cheap.
