TLDR: whats the cheapest foods for someone who does not work out?

my brother is very poor working at a grocery store 20-30 hours per week at near min-wage. he's living in the cheapest apt he can with a roomate or else he couldn't afford rent. he's been through debt collectors and all that in the past, and i'm hoping he can avoid that this time. i've given him money before, but he loses incentive to get a better job when he can mooch off me. right now he's eating canned beans + eggs, but he's looking for ways to eat cheaper. his idea right now is 3 packs of ramen (1200 Cal @ 60cents) + multivit (~12 cents per) daily. he's pretty fat so it's ok to lose weight. he doesn't exercise so protein/macros aren't that important i think.

i showed him your 15$/week plan which is designed for people who work out, but he'd rather go with his 5$/week plan to save more money (doesn't need the protein either i think). he's probably gonna be on it for 6 months or so before he finally realises he needs a better job. i dont care if theres short term health concerns since it will just help motivate him to turn his life around. but i dont want him to get long term problems. i'm thinking he can replace the ramen with rice, but that's all i can think of. whats your suggestion?

Could you post a link for the $15/week meal plan?


Thanks

So I did some thinking and decided against the fitness tree. Sounded like it wasn't something you recommend too much, and so I thought it over and realized it's not something that should be on my list.

So my buying is complete! Until I start making expendable amounts of money again (when I graduate from uni). Thanks for the help with the buying and whatnot.

Question (theoretical since I'm broke now ): what do you think of this unit (it's a $2500 to buy new locally); do you think functional trainers are worse, or just different, compared to cable crossovers? http://www.torquehq.com/f7info.pdf

(just daydreaming about what would be good choices for tight space, and wondering since you have extensive experience in personal training if you have a stance on fold-up units like these, and if you have an opinion on functional trainers as one's crossover unit)

Hey Raynor,

I'm wondering why you don't suggest citrulline malate in place of your arginine suggestions?

As I understand, it increases blood concentration of arginine better than actual arginine supplementation because citrulline is not broken down in the intestines.


I've personally tried oral arginine vs. powdered citrulline malate and there was no comparison in my eyes. Citrulline blew it the fuck away.

My penis was on a whole other level of gorged.
