Good, cheap diet for an AM boxer?

[BG_Knocc_Out]

aim for 6 small meals a day-
upon waking have porridge with banana and honey on top. make sure the porridge is made with water and not milk as milk slows down your digestion
then 3 hours later id suggest a protein bar, if you can afford a box of course. there are budget boxes out there
lunch you should either go with poached egg on toast, chicken pasta or jacket potato with tuna (a good balance of protein and carbs)
In mid afternoon you should have an apple and handful of peanuts. vitamins and good fats
for evening meal you should have tuna, steak or chicken breast with a selection of broccoli, cabbage and carrots. all low carbo veg.
and post training have a banana.

obviously you mix it up, and alter it to suit your working patterns and training times. You should also consume 2 litres of water a day.

Sounds very descriptive, much appreciated.

also if you are lacking in money and would like a isotonic drink before training, check out some websites one some home made remedies. The is the old 200ml pineapple juice, mixed with 100ml orange and 100ml cranberry with 400 ml water and a pinch of salt. or you use a strong cordial mix with half a tea spoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Not as nice as the real stuff but effective

Well, I don't exactly know what is what. What should I look and watch out for?

It depends on what progress in boxing you're aiming to do. Building muscle-mass, Losing fat, Training stamina and so on.. Look and shop accordingly to your own wallet and needs, not according to some guy across the Internet because that will cause more harm and confusion than good.

It really is not that hard to eat healthy. It mainly involves not being lazy and avoiding processed foods (ie anything that comes pre-wrapped, pre-canned, pre this and that to last on the shelf etc) and eat fresh food. Get your 4 food groups in a day and you are normally good to go.

Beyond that is it just a matter of how you fuel yourself as per your workouts. To make sure to have a good carb load pre workout, like say 2-3 hrs before, a good protein source right after, and some carbs as well. Then between that just make sure to fit in fresh fruits, veggies and a dairy source.

People seriously over think this trying to take short cuts. That is the biggest problem with ****ty diets today...laziness. Learn how to cook, and follow a few simple rules.

^what he said...I'll add learn how to chop up a lean chicken breast, put some virgin olive oil in a pan and fry it up. Learn how to boil some eggs. You now have two very good sources of protein at your disposal, and they're cheap. What works for me is eating a big protein rich meal for breakfast (three hard boiled eggs, whole wheat toast, milk/yogurt, apple, banana), following that with two or three smaller meals consisting of fruit/veg/nuts/chicken and finally something lighter with some protein to it a couple hours before bed like yogurt. In closing, have a big breakfast, taper off throughout the day with smaller meals, eat often, don't eat sugary BS and remember McDonalds is for tards.
