i know that but in school when i was dieting, i had to sneak each piece of food into my mouth. so by the time i knew it had taken me like an hour to eat a pear. but ive never had a job. since i started my diet again this week, ive been home since its summer vacation for me. so i cook my meals right when its time to eat. i know i can prepare them earlier in the day if i get a job, but how do u manage to eat like 3 of ur 6 meals or whatever at work? blink.gif

I'm an assistant manager at GNC (wow what an accomplishment) I hate the place from a supplement and business stand point but it is an oppurtunity to make better money than I could elsewhere. I spend way too much on supplements and various things to experiment with but I figure you only live once and nobody wants to die the richest man in the graveyard. At work i bring a coffee grinder, oatmeal, and wpc. Grind the oats mix in the wpc at water and wallah a cheap mrp. I suppose i could grind the oats before and add the protein to make it a simple scoop and water thing but that would be too ez.

It all depends on the job you're working. Some bosses may be reasonable enough to allow you short breaks here or there to eat. Or, if you're forbidden to, the meals you eat should be small enough in size that you can sneak out for five minutes every few hours and eat.

As far as getting money for supps, my mom gives me a little bit of cash every month for doing chores and various housework. The only real supplement I take (not counting vitamins) is Whey and since you can get it pretty cheap over the net, I don't take a huge hit to my wallet. That'll end when I start investing in ICE and Creatine, though. sad.gif

Or you could just use one of the many MRPs at your store tongue.gif

Buy in bulk and have your priorities! Get your basics, whey, blend, multi, and vitamins. Go with that for a bit and see what extra cash you have around and invest that into something else. Possibly creatine or whatever pleases you.

joe and Jon, why not get together and get 50lbs of whey from BSL.

That should save u some cash for extra supps.

Same with every supp. Buying in bulk is the key.

Im soon going to purchase:

30lbs whey
500g HMB
500g BCAA
1kg taurine

for about £200

This may seem like a lot, but it'll last me months.

I culdnt believe my luck when I foud a site that sells some things cheaper than BSL in the UK biggrin.gif

Would that be the link in your sig perchance?

P.S The peeps in your sig are selling dextrose at £5 for 1kg

You can buy it a superdrug with added vit C for 87p for a 500g box, just a heads up.

Its only the dex/malto thats expensive.

They have whey for £10 per kg, and if you buy in bulk, you can get up to 55% off.

Creatine is the same deal, only its £20 per kg.

HMB is £90 for 1kg, which is as cheap as BSL if you factor in shipping.

And they offer custom made shakes. Sou can choose what you have. They are also planning to launch loads of new products soon.

You have that problem too? There is this great deal to get a shitload of something in bulk, but you don't have the money because it's such a large quantity.. tongue.gif
