Default College diet - what are your tips and tricks? (Whey Man to the rescue?)

Hey, what's up guys?

I'll be going to Australia to study in a few weeks, and since school will be costly, I wish do hold a diet that is both healthy (clean) and cheap. I'll probably lean toward cutting more than bulking anyway, so that should reduce costs a bit.

So anyway, what are your tips for meals and foods to buy? I figured that I can perhaps buy oatmeal in bulk to use for breakfast, but the other meals are a bit trickyer. I'll definetly need to get some whey (and vitamineral supplements) as well, so do any of you aussies know of stores or web shops where you can buy that kind of stuff in bulk, cheaply?

Thanks in advance guys

Check to see if they have bulk stores (most likely they will have something, but they might not be close). I remember when I was in Darwin, there was a grocery store that I was told about that was FAR cheaper then any other store around, Ill see if I can find it for yea. If I remember correctly Kangaroo was cheap, and very tasty. I think Lamb is cheap (since NZ is just stone toss away).

As for your supplements, best bet is to search the net, if some of our aussies dont come looking in this thread or maybe PM them directly, I cant remember his name off hand but he used to post in general chat a lot, maybe he could help you out.

Sorry my post was very vague, its been almost a year since I was last in Aus.

G'day Cobber. You'll get everything that you can get at home over here. Don't bring food thru customs, they don't like that. You'll find your oats and supps and the like up here in Oz no problems. What town are you going to? [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I haven't been to Adelaide for many years. Its a beautiful place and you'll have no problems there. I'm on the west coast, a long way from Adelaide but my daughters boyfriend comes from there and they flew there last weekend to visit his family. If you have any questions post them here and I'll ring and ask them. They'd be pleased to help. Cheers. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
