How do you keep to a strict diet in Singapore?
-
People keep advocating things like six small meals a day, 1.5 grams of protein per lbs. of body weight, complex carbohydrates, etc. How exactly is that feasible in Singapore, unless one stays at home all the time and has access to the most wholesome food?
I started a weight lifting programme recently, and I don't want my iron-pumping efforts to go down the drain because of bad diet.

its possible, but will require some of your time and effort.
you can prepare food such as sandwiches, these can be eaten, anywhere anytime. or if you have access to a microwave, you can bring along stuff and heat in the microwave. I myself take sandwiches most of the time, you can prepare them in the morning before you leave, or the night before, what ever is best for you.
eating healthy is not easy, or else much more people would do it, the rewards are well worth it though

Yes it's possible. You may not be able to count calories effectively when you eat anything other than food you've prepared yourself, but you can still count portions and make smart choices when dining out. Your choices will be more limited (no hokkien mee, no prata, etc) but with so many of us doing it and getting reasonable results, how can you say it's not possible?

So what are cheap sources of protein, besides tuna? Not whey definitely.
-
Why not whey? Have you calculated how cheap whey actually is? Besides, it's a great source of protein during the workout window.
Other sources - all animals(fish, poultry, meats), dairy products. -
Where do you buy whey? GNC? That's not exactly cheap!Originally posted by galapogos:Why not whey? Have you calculated how cheap whey actually is? Besides, it's a great source of protein during the workout window.

Who the hell buys whey from GNC nowadays? Online prices are much lower. You can get it down to $50+/5lb tub if you look hard enough.

Well its hard to have like 6 meals per day especially if u r working. Isnt it awkard to bring tupperware of food? N espically guys like us in NS, 6 meals per day is impossible....N not all places got microwave
N wad we eat here in Spore doesnt go well with bodybuilding. How much does beef cost here , in case if u dont know its very expensive. Where do we get stuff like whole grain bread, whole and pure oats, cottage cheese which are described to be good food for building muscle.
Wad about food sold in Singapore? The only ideal meal i can think off is chicken rice with white rice n breast meat n btw not all stalls have white rice. Another i can think off is fish soup /beef soup but the amout of meat they give is pathetic
-
There are ways to get around this. Tupperware isn't that awkward once you get used to it. Bringing bottles of shakes, healthy snacks such as canned tuna, nuts, etc. There are many options, even when working. As for NS, that's just 2.5 years of your life, and depending on your vocation and unit, you can bring in your own food too.

Please tell me how you prepare tuna so that it tastes, at the very least, acceptable.

Personally I eat it with olive oil, but you can easily make a tuna sandwich as well. Many people eat it out of a can as well.

Everytime eat from can feel like vomiting.Originally posted by galapogos:Personally I eat it with olive oil, but you can easily make a tuna sandwich as well.

Taste is acquired. I've already given you 2 options. Feel free to use your imagination for more tuna recipes.

I did this when i was in primary school.
1)Diced onions, skin peeled off.Fried lightly
2)Blend tuna in a blender
3)Microwave both 1) and 2) mixed.1-1.5 min on Medium- HI
4)Add mayo to tuna and stir properly.
I then usually dish the tuna onto lettuce that lies on crossaint which i bought from carrefour.Try to copy delifrance.

Strangers give me the look. But the food will be gone inside your mouth, in less than a minute. So why are you so affected by other people's stares?Originally posted by borntolive:Isnt it awkard to bring tupperware of food?
