The bodybuilding community’s priority is a perfect diet and workout regime to flaunt a well-defined muscular physique. The big names in the community such as Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, and Chris Bumstead often discuss the diets that helped them make it big in bodybuilding. Derek Lunsford is a recent addition to the list of prominent bodybuilders after his massive win of the 212 Mr. Olympia title in 2021 and Mr. Olympia Runner-up in 2022. 

Lunsford keeps his fans updated about his diet plans in his Youtube videos where he discusses his mega-fit meals and bulking-up diets. In his recent YouTube video, he has something special for his fans. The Pro Creator, with 22-inch monstrous biceps, gives a grocery list for off-season bulking up on a budget of less than 100$. 

Derek Lunsford’s budget-Friendly Grocery List

Lunsford’s diet includes macronutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fats, and he shops for their sources in the same order. The protein sources are mainly boneless chicken breast, sirloin tip-side steak, and large egg whites. While buying eggs, Derek was seen surprised. “Blows my mind how expensive eggs are now, its crazy,” he states. He derives his protein intake from the three sources and a protein powder.

“Salmon is perfect for off-season meal, truthfully I eat that on a regular basis,” exclaims Lunsford. However, he skips buying it as he was doing budget grocery shopping for his viewers. While shopping for carbs, Lunsford notices, “Rice is probably one of the cheapest things that you can buy.” He discusses different rice varieties such as brown, jasmine, and white, and says that the best option relies on one’s goals.
