Zone shopping on a budget, eating health is not cheap but we have found that wholesale food stores like Costco and Sams club have the best deals. Here is a break down of a weekly purchase from Costco for my Zone chow.
Eggs 3 Dozen- $2.79
Walnuts 3 lb- $11.99
Asparagus 2lb 4oz- $4.59
Broccoli 3lb- $4.29
Turkey Burgers 12- $9.99
Strawberries 3lb- $6.49
String cheese 48count (1 block per piece)- $8.79
Avocados 5- $5.49
Apples (pink lady) 12- $6.99
Pears 11- $4.49
Grand total-$65.90
The food we put into our bodies is 5 times important as the WODs we perform, look at it like this.
If I work out 1 time a day and eat 5 times a day you can start to see the big picture. Let push it out even further using 5 work outs a week as the standard.
1 Week= 5 WODs and 35 meals
1 Month= 20 WODs and 140 meals
6 Months= 120 WODs and 840 meals
1 Year= 240 WODs and 1680 meals
Which one is more important WODs or Meals?
The WODs we perform and complimented by the fuel we put into our bodies. If you want better performance you have to put cleaner foods into your body.
We all have different goals. Some High School Athleles want to earn a scholarship for college, some of us need physical strength and endurance to perform our jobs, others want to live a healthier life style so they dont have diabetes and heart dieses at 35 years old, some of us want to look good with a bikini on and other want nothing more to try and compete with the young studs crushing the WODs at the box.
I realized today while grocery shopping that not only do I buy the same exact things week after week, but I take the exact same route through the commissary! I’m luck to be able to shop on base where the food is significantly cheaper and I don’t have to wade through tons of people.
Nice way to break that down for us Vinny! I am sooo mad I missed this one I have been waiting to do these- looks like a good Thrusday Wod for me.
No spinach?? WTF? Frozen 3 berry blend from costco rocks as well. And they have almond butter there (Ingredients:Almonds) wich is phenominal and doubles as a paleo cheat snack for me.
Suddenly I’m hungry. I have to thank you guys for introducing me to the Pink Lady Apple…they are amazing!
150 plain ol’ burpees = 16:02
My shoulders are begging for mercy today.
I like the shopping list! Now I just need someone to tell me how they get through Costco without munching on all the junk food samples.
I had my first class workout last night. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I’m not sure how I feel about all those burpees but I’m interested to see what’s next…..
150 “upright” burpees jumping over that damn bar…can’t remember what it’s called = 18:38
Vinny, nice write up on the food……
Cara, I agree…..pink lady apples rule
tried to work out this morning………10 minutes of light exercise…….followed by 4 hours of laying in bed following my collapse……this sucks
Don’t know about you guys, I know folks like apples for Zone, but I’ve found even eating 5 blocks of meat, double fat, and one pink lady apple (or other excellent tasting apple), I’m hungry in two hours. Apples and Zone don’t mix well for me, may be for other people too, so might want to keep an eye out.
Matt,
that’s why I went back to baseline zone…Yeah the calories are about the same but I hate being hungry. I’m less hungry when I eat the full block amount of favorable (paleo) carbs. 3 tablespoons of almond butter just makes me want 3 more tablespoons of almond butter. 4 cups of broccoli and an apple or pear and I’m good to go.
Yeah, but what I mean is, if I was to eat all those carbs in an apple, I’d be even more hungry.
Basically, if I have an apple as any of my carb blocks, I’m hungry.
Matt
They are talking about pink lady apples the fruit. Not Pink lady Apple Fritters.
Ooooooooh… my bad… I thought you meant the baked goods with dough, and sugar, and high fructose apple filling…
No, not really. I don’t know, it’s weird, it’s almost like the apples are worse for me than if I were to eat a gigantic piece of bread or something… It doesn’t make much sense, but it’s just what the black box (https://www.motorcitycrossfit.com/?p=10) has shown.
