??? Are you only eating rice and tuna? Even there, 6 cans / day of tuna would exceed that..

No, 6 cans of tuna 6x$0.89= $5.34 and you can get it cheaper than that sometimes. Rice is dirt cheap. How much do you guys pay for tuna?

Not eating carbs at the moment so.. but if I was oatmeal is cheap in bulk
My diet consists of tuna, mayonaise, alot of whey blend, $1 egg creations cartons ( 9 eggs ), Olive oil / natty PB, romaine I get for $1.50 lasts me 2-3 days. Sometimes i'll splurge for some cheese.
I get striploin roasts on sale at $1.99/LB and cut them up / freeze and ends up costing you $10 a week for steaks.

holy crap dont know how you guys can spend soo much on just food, ever heard of superstore or costco, and shopping around for good deals. I spend 100$ max a week on food and i am never hungry. Lots of frozen chicken breasts, tuna, strak, brown rice, and all the essentials.

Eating 10+ chicken breasts, 1lb of steak a day ,etc, etc adds up.

Wow 200 + more a week holy crap you guys must be rich lol.... Can I please have your jobs??
Dunno about you guys but, I spend like 120-150 a week I've learned early on that it's easy to go overboard with the bills. I Buy in bulk, all meat on sale, Vegi's and fruit are the only things that kill the pocket.
Ah yes to make you all feel better when your bored of dieting. Just remember this... I'm a tech guy and at work everyone eats a burger or two for lunch, then a pizza pocket, and then soda and crap. I've seen people eat suger straight from packages..yup....
I get to see how weak/fat that makes your body, and trust me they're not winning any ladies over with their "pop" bellies!
When I suggest they try to eat like I do they simply say, "No diets are for girls, and that diet food tastes like crap". heh...enjoy the heart attack at 30 :) :)
