- Kikkoman, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32How can this be on front page when the page is not even linked properly... Digg is so Rigged
- archistudent, on 10/10/2007, -4/+31The article isn't properly linked or something, and with MensHealth.com's impossible site structure, I couldn't find it.
Since when does 10 meals constitute a week?
Either way, I eat healthy for less than $50. More rice, oatmeal, and potatoes. Stay away from foods high in sodium and refined sugar. Eat fruits and vegetables that don't come in cans or the freezer. A portion of meat is usually 3-5 oz. Eating healthy is easier than it looks, just quit making excuses. - alamandrax, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22and aids. my aids helped me lose a lot too.

Repost - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15You must get your food from someone's garbage can then.
- civperc, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14But with shi**y fast food, exercise is far less beneficial. good foods are a necessary part of building lean muscle
- pathetik, on 10/10/2007, -14/+25I'm going to buried... but here go's...
Where's the beef ? - wheel, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Why wouldn't you choose the one-page print link instead?

You think that muscle tissue and energy comes from thin air?
- Unremarkable, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Thats a lot of rice.
- floodyberry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Digg is actually designed from the ground up for stuff like this to happen. Good content doesn't go anywhere if nobody sees it, but bad content submitted by someone who gets auto-dugg by 15-20 well known diggers just had their submission show up in the dugg list of everyone who befriended the well known diggers. Things like the friends list (seeing what your friends are submitting) and being able to see who dugg your story (get an idea of who is digging your stuff early) makes it trivial to identify who is scratching your back so you can scratch theirs.
Luckily the only way to attract a well known digger to start digging your garbage is to digg a large percentage of what they submit, so the system devolves in to digging based on submitter regardless of content, which was just proven by this piece of ***** making the front page. I'd wager most of the people who do the bulk work of early digging articles that hit the front page rarely read anything they digg. - DeskFlyer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I said what I did because the article doesn't mention exercise; some people are dumb enough to believe that you can simply eat the food mentioned in the article and magically grow more muscle and burn fat without leaving their couch. :)
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7lol,
Seriously.
family of 3?
thats like 15 dollars a person which then is 2 dollars a day.
wtf? - buddydvd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Yeah.... how come a broken link can reached the front page... people don't even click the link before digging? This is quite rigged.
- MicroBerto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Don't forget tuna. You don't want to eat too much canned fish, but you can get a really cheap and quick meal packed with protein.
- wcbzero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Print Version, easier to read...

Buy in bulk. You can eat for a month within $50.
- civperc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Subterfug and I submitted comments at the same, sorry guys and gals (here comes the onslaught of digg-downs)
- Vodka2389, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5They forgot to include "woman to cook it for you."
- DavidRoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5This should read... "how to make lunch and dinner for 5 days for $50". One very healthy thing you can do is eat breakfast... and they dont account for that in the budget. and what about weekends?
- emjaymj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Agreed. For once I'd like to see a list like this that DOESN'T have you using leftovers all the time.
- hollismb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Because you can't really buy uncooked meats in single portions at the grocery store. Or you can buy a bunch of portions, and freeze them, but then you have to buy a bunch of meats all at the same time, which means you're spending over 50 dollars. If you're single, you don't have the ability to have that sort of variety during the same week, since you don't have anyone helping you eat it/split the cost.
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4No one expects the Ramen Inquisition!
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Well, you can lose weight without the exercise. The muscle...not so much.
- mcmlxxii, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Mmmm canned fish, my favourite......bleagh
- jtbandes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Step 1. Buy $50 worth of fruit/vegetable seeds.
- emjaymj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3McDonalds isn't really an option if you care about what you're putting into your body. $85 to eat out 10 times a week comes out to $8.50 per meal, which isn't unreasonable at all, but is also an example of why eating out is a quick way to waste your cash.
- alexanEmpire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3do go on.....
- Volkov137, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Why on earth would I want to keep eating the same meats two to three times in a row?
- hadak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3$85 / 10 = $8.50
Cost of BigMac meal and a shake: ~$8.50
64% of me says go eat a twinkee. - alamandrax, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4and sub-sandwiches ARE good, as long as you lay off the extra mayonnaise and ranch. helped me lose quite a few pounds (along with exercise).
- shableep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3well, lets see... i eat out about 5 times a week, and that easily makes it's way up to $75. and thats only because i get free lunch.
so, if i didn't have free lunch, lets say thats $6.50 for 5 lunches (no, you can't eat 2 double cheeseburgers every single damn day). that's $32.50 a week. and 5 times eating out for dinner? easily at least $11 (with tip, you cheap bastard) per meal. that's $50. so we're easily up to $87.50 a week. and that's not considering the weekend.
either way: breakfast, lunch and dinner for less than $80 per week is cheap.
and the truth is, if you're a single guy... you've usually got a little extra cash laying around waiting to be spent on some tasty food. - civperc, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5http://digg.com/health/Shop_Once_Eat_for_a_Week
- matthewf01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3pretty sure this has already been submitted :(
- alamandrax, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2you could have started with "Aids for everyone! I want to give every child in needy countries aids personally." and trigger the lynch mob.
just a suggestion. - coustoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2you dont get a complete amino acid profile from vegetable protein, also you lose out on minerals such as iron, zinc etc... thats why vegetarians usually have health problems.
- alamandrax, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5One word. Ramen noodles. I mean TWO words. Veggie Ramen Noodles. Damn! I mean Three words microwaved veggie ramen noodles... FOUR words... I'll come in again.
- kablaaamo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Meat's one of the most expensive items on any given grocery trip.....so if you are looking to REALLY slash your grocery budget, stop buying it. Beans, pulses and nuts are far cheaper sources of protein. (Oh, remember to combine them with a whole grain carbohydrate, to get all of your required amino acids....if you do that, you're golden!)
- SilasTomorrow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Why are you so angry?
- ellecon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The more you do from scratch the cheaper it is. Flour,baking powder,eggs,oil,yeast,spices and the other accouterments needed to cook/bake are cheap...especially for the average baked good. You can make a big muffin for 15-20 cents vs.$ 2-3 dollars in a store. Flour,oil and water can be a messy paste or a tasty samosa wrapper depending on what you do with it. There is a tremendous sense of accomplishment when one has recreated a dish that would cost $40 in a restaurant for $4 or $5 through careful preparation and time. Garden or pick your own veggies/fruit and the exercise is taken care of as well. The goal should be to eat as well as you can as inexpensively as you can, not simply to find the lowest-priced nutritionally-adequate foodstuffs. Food is one of life's great pleasures and it deserves time and attention.
- cloudyprison, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Thanks, the rest of us missed it 76 days ago.
- iguanapunk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I followed this last time it was posted. All I can say now is ***** OFF SHRIMP!
- cygnus2112, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Shopping List: Onions, Peppers, Vinegar, Pesto, Avocado, Black Beans, Salsa, Tabasco.. this should be re-titled "Make your ass hurt for a week within $50"
- holysin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1As long as it's just the veg/fruit that's been frozen, then for many places in the country (assuming you're not buying from a farmers market) the fruit has more vitamins then the "fresh" food that's been trucked to your local supermarket.
Also frozen fruit is best for making smoothies ;-)
And to the parent: you might want to watch the amount of potatoes you eat, while low in fat and what not, they're starchy and very carb based (which means more calories then you'd expect) - hollismb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You're probably not getting as much muscle-building protein that way. Of course, you could add a bunch of eggs, and it'd help a bit.
- nochilinopity, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Don't be so quick to discount frozen/canned fruits and veggies. As long as they aren't packed with large amounts of butter or salt, they can actually be fresher since they're preserved coming right off the field.
- coustoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1cheap sources of complete amino acid protein:
1. Eggs
2. Whey
3. Cottage Cheese -
