Bulking on a Budget in Austin

Bulking is expensive. Eating 3,500 clean calories a day in Austin, where a Chipotle bowl is $12, adds up fast.

The math nobody does

Four meals out a day at $12 each: $48 a day, $336 a week. For food you can't track and probably under-eats protein anyway.

Eat big without going broke

Ten high-protein meals at $10.50 each: $105 a week. That's your lunches and dinners handled — roughly 400 to 600 clean calories per meal, 35-plus grams of protein each. Add breakfast and a shake and you're at 3,000+ calories without touching a drive-thru.

Clean bulk, not dirty bulk

There's bulking, and then there's "I ate 4,000 calories of Whataburger." One builds muscle. The other builds regrets and a gut you'll spend your cut fighting. Feed the bulk with real food.
