Chicken, steaks, fish, nuts, eggs, vegetables, ... mostly fresh, not pre-frozen.
(for two though, but my wife doesn't eat as much as me)

Gym from home so no membership.
Food - also steak, chicken, eggs and veg = R700 a week for 2 people.
Milk I drink around 1L a day.
Sups - Protein and creatine - Id say R300 a month.
So actually not to bad, I also buy bulk and have cut down on the sups that I feel don't really work for me, even creatine I'm not sure does anything.
Sups i also buy in bulk from BSSA or www.basicsupplements.co.za, depending on who is cheaper with what. Its also about R600 a shot but lasts about 3 months, just note i don't consume the amount of Whey most guys does, i like getting my protein from meat and eggs, i take +-30g Whey once daily, after workout.
Food i have never really worked out, but its not that expensive... Eggs are R34+- for 30, i eat about 6 - 8 a day, so it works out just over R50 per week,
Then i buy wors, chicken and pork for the most part, also in bulk packs, which also does not work out that bad..., so i will say my food works out about R60 daily, so that's R1800pm, that seems about right

On the shoulder pain issue apart from rest a Doctor friend recommended Omega and fish oils will heal me up pretty fast so have doubled my fish oil intake.
In 2 weeks time have a full 9 days off from gymming so reckon I'll heal up a bit, maybe come up with a better plan so I don't get hurt.

That is my next investment...just need a 210L freezer for a meat locker!
In laws are farmers so deep freeze on weekend got stocked with lean steak, chops and roasts.

My dad used to work for Renown, but i was very young, we had like 5 freezers....
My wife is on the same low carb high protein and veg diet BUT she doesn't exercise yet still get's comments from other ladies on how she looks like she does even after 2 kids, no baby weight at all.
They all want to know her secret as the fad diets they on never work!
One lady just eats yogurt all day, apparently a friend did this yogurt only diet and lost 5kg in one week
In our office car trip back to East London yesterday, was listening to these 2 women talk about dieting, some crazy uninformed stuff going on there I tell.

Agree fully.
I try and avoid conversations on nutrition with people as they always know better...and serious weight training is bad mmmkay...yip got that gem used on me once. Bah.
People will never get over fad diets as they always chasing the quick fix. There is no quick fix. There is only dedication to diet and training. That and only that will bring results that last.

I have bought from RageNutrition the last 2x.
Current special on Whey 3.2kg at R619 a bit cheaper than bssa and basicsupps
I have heard about the benefits of fish oils but this has made me stay away.
"Men with comparatively higher levels of fish oil (or omega-3 fatty acids) in their blood have a 44 percent overall higher risk to develop prostate cancer, finds a study recently published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute."
Well i have only lost 1.5kg the last 3weeks, and have been extremely strict....
Don't look at the kilograms, look at the percentage body weight. I'm down just over 6kg in five weeks. But I think this week I'm down to 500g a week.
I love when seriously unfit, overweight people offer advice on dieting.
Sell it for R200 on junkmail

Pre-Workout has to much carbs, so i cut that out as well

In my opinion low carb is also a fad.
