is 2x cai png per day enough to build muscle?
hi, I’m a broke NTU student and trying to hit my daily protein intake. everyday (Mon to Fri, weekends I’m at home) I just order 2 meat 2 veg for lunch and dinner + 40g protein shake a day + some almonds.
I don’t know if the cai png is enough (impossible to track), and probably it isn’t because I’m not really gaining weight (178cm 61kg). also impossible to buy more food because shit here is really expensive
I’m not a great cook either and there’s no like chicken breasts or whole roasted chicken, if I were to buy other foodstuff in supermarkets it will probably cost more than the cheapest cai png in NTU.
anyone has ideas for alternatives? I mean there are lots of jacked dudes living in NTU so there must be some way?

- Bread and tuna. Get the in water kind. In oil kind works too if you factor in the fat calories
Use my fitness pal to track your calories and protein intake
And a cheap take away food is KFC ala carte single piece fried chicken. Ask for breast. It really is very good ratio of protein:fat:carbs
Hawker food good for body building are sliced fish soup extra meat no rice (kinda ex). Roast meat less rice. Dumplings (水饺).
Protein is expensive.
Cai Png you can order no rice and æ–™ only. Get 2 omelette or steamed egg and a meat dish that is not too salty and a veg eg broccoli/cauliflower - just learn to cook for yourself … i mean what’s the worst? either you burn the kitchen down or die of cancer from eating your own food because of the way you cook
