Hello IST I'm currently in japan and unsure about my diet.
I want to cut right now but everything is served with rice basically. And the food in general is so different.
Any recommendation for meals I could cook on a budget here?

Rice and fish
I thought rice = bad but it's actually great to fill up on, just 1.1 cal/g
meats are usually 2-3
Thought the same that's why I was asking.
That's good then, can't really get around eating rice a lot here it feels like.
You're retarded. Milk, eggs, chicken, fish and pork are plentiful and cheap. If you don't want rice dont cook it you spastic.
t. Lived there for 2 years
Okay thanks for the input!
Also I don't think pork and fish and milk are that cheap here, chicken sure tough.
If chicken is cheap then I guess chicken, rice and broccoli is a your true fate.
Also shop for everything discounted as with everywhere else. Do you have a freezer?
Sounds like a plan then, do have a freezer.
Any ideas for dinner though? I'm currently at oats for breakfast, meat + rice for lunch, but no idea what to do for dinner other than more rice + whatever
Maybe you can make some curry with chicken and vegetables, I'm not really a good or inspiring chef so I tend to stick to home made slop.
i live in japan too and basically get most of my protein from seafood
in japan generally you want to cook yourself because almost everything contains soi
also the food you should eat is the same worldwide, see except replace pork with beef
avoid japanese goyslop like ramen if you're cutting. sushi is probably great for cutting
Guess my imagination is the real issue here
Oh that's cheap as fuck ill go tomorrow. Been shopping at OK mart so far.
Also chikuwa sounds interesting do you also buy that at gyomu or do you make it yourself?
I just buy Hanpen actually. Its in flat containers and even at MyBasket 110g is 98 yen + tax (98kcal, 9g protein)
As for chicken, online stores are just as cheap, even amazon sells it. 2kg for 1870yen, frozen. Or 12kg (2kgx6) for 8000 yen if you're okay with Brazilian chicken. Freezer is probably too small though.
I get paid a lot so I get the 選り取りセール at my local shop and get 1200g fresh ササミ for 1080 yen.
If you arent here on a working holiday use ふるさと納税 to get a tax reduction for buying stuff.
>ふるさと納税
redpill me on this i thought it was something for people living in villages because of the name
Not in Japan, just a weeb but thanks for the tip
Why are the texts on the screen instead of printed on the paper?
>I want to cut right now but everything is served with rice basically. And the food in general is so different.
That's all good then because carbs make you thin and fat makes you fat. Eat HCLF with plenty of lean animal protein. Weight loss is too fucking easy.
Tokyo Kita-ku chad here. I eat Chikuwa for gainz. Its literally whitefish and eggwhites.
Besides that, chicken breast is 2kg for 1200 yen at 業務 and rice is cheap.
Its literally so easy to cut and bulk here, switched to pork to bulk.
Osaka here, what protein powders are we getting Japan chads?
I've been trying different vegan proteins (whey fucks me up good, lactose intolerance) from iHerb and haven't found anything great yet
kek how many people here live in japan?
i was using SAVAS but now i just bought this bc it's cheaper
iherb is great too i get all my supplements from there
i can recommend nichiga too for domestic powdered veggies/green powders
Eggs are decently priced, at least at San-A, chicken meat is cheap, check the scraps of fish (like tuna) that they brand for tempura, it's cheap and full of protein, just cook it first. Milk is expensive so get some whey you can drink with water
I'm in Okinawa
Natto has about 8g per 50g at 93 kcal and comes in a 3 pack for 90ish yen
Can you eat that much natto ? 50g on top of rice is doable otherwise it's too disgusting
It's actually not all that bad once you get used to it
Also incredibly healthy. But yes more of a side thing I guess.
>And the food in general is so different.
regular food
😐
>regular food but in japan
:O
Hey brother a good rule of thumb is to cover your main macronutrients:
Carbs, protein, lipids, sugar, vitamins, minerals, and water
If you don't eat meat for religious reasons, you can go with foods like fungus and seaweed, if you would rather avoid the phytoestrogens in basedbeans.
If you do eat meat, lean meats that are low in fat are good for muscle building, but natural lipids from meat are important to your diet. Fish, beef, pork, wild game, and similar meats are good for this.
All of these nutrients are naturally sourced from the surrounding environment in traditional diets. So your best bet is a traditional diet, whatever that means for you.
>basedbeans
s.o.ybeans I mean, it autocorrects for the troll filter lmao
