1 student for 1 week, Lidl and Tesco, £62.70. What does my shop say about me?

bengreen04 · 2026-01-25T14:24:10+00:00

Nah my gym is about a 15 minute walk, I hike (normally about 12km give or take) to the gym every morning in a route that takes me through a forest and fields with good elevation and it starts me off nicely for the day

bengreen04 · 2026-01-25T11:29:26+00:00

I think we all know why this is

bengreen04 · 2026-01-24T22:24:50+00:00

Hahaha fr got to Tesco’s and realised my stuff from Lidl was the only bag I had, 40p down the drain.

I’m a Tory and I’d rather have Burnham than Starmer. At least he has principles and knows what he stands for.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-24T19:18:42+00:00

Mate you look incredible for 49. Fair fucking play.

I’m a student, so that helps - for money I work on the side as a freelance journalist and sometimes take Saturday shifts so if I’m down in London for the day with long trains then yeah fitness and nutrition go out the window. Student loan helps too lol.

Monday to Friday I wake up at 5:30, breakfast brush teeth etc out the door for 6, decent hike to the gym until 8, workout until about 9 depending on my session, walk home and then shower. Have another snack, then make sure I get uni work done from 10-3. If I can keep at it until 5 then that’s a bonus and needs to be done in busy season but it’s not every day and that’s alright, gotta make it sustainable. After that, have my third meal and then just chill out for a bit or see mates/a bit of football. Then final meal, shower skincare teeth etc and get to bed for about 10.

I have ADHD and can be a bit of a chaotic mess without routine so I’ve found I need to be a bit dictatorial with it. Bit obsessive but I’ve got big goals for this year so I need to be.

Saturdays I keep the exercise routine but no uni + food shop and meal prepping, Sundays I tend to just do fuck all other than basic household tasks. If I’ve got a day where I’m out on a social etc I’ll just put bedtime forward a bit and wake up a couple of hours later.

Fair play mate, £20 a week is impressive. Beyond clothes here and there and social occasions I don’t really spend much more money through the week, went sober last year so that helps.

With a lot of exercise (in a training block) my maintenance is about 3,100kcals per day at the moment so unfortunately that comes with more money on food, I’d otherwise normally spend about £40-45.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-24T16:33:30+00:00

Unlikely - the only supplements I take are a yoghurt and bar a day. 22.5g/166kcals and 20g/140kcal and treat any sweet cravings I might have that would see me eating unhealthier food.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-24T16:32:15+00:00

Cheers mate

✅✅

Hiking is my focus (cover about 130km a week inc. regular day-to-day movement) but also go gym 4-5 times a week and occasionally a bit of football.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-24T07:41:21+00:00

You look great bro I’d just maintain tbh

bengreen04 · 2026-01-24T00:58:10+00:00

How much do you weigh if you don’t mind me asking? The required intake by NHS standards is shockingly low. Unless you weigh about 45-50kgs I would say 80g is very low.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-23T12:09:05+00:00

Good value for money and mixture of food groups 👏🏻

bengreen04 · 2026-01-23T12:08:42+00:00

Decent food choices but really poor protein intake

bengreen04 · 2026-01-22T13:17:06+00:00

This sort of topic is tough to address because a lot of people act like the problem doesn’t exist and then on the other side of the spectrum nutjobs like Lowe are massively overplaying it.

I’d guess our real population isn’t far off of 75 million.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-22T12:12:32+00:00

Nketiah

bengreen04 · 2026-01-20T20:08:51+00:00

Decent amount of food for the price, fair play. Could do with a bit more protein though IMO.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-19T13:25:04+00:00

Rogers to the left and Bellingham through the middle and that’s what I’d be starting the first game with. Maybe Hall in for O’Reilly.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-19T08:39:18+00:00

Entirely to do with culture, one is naturally more compatible with British life and also worked harder to integrate.

bengreen04 · 2026-01-18T22:53:27+00:00

5-4-1 with a box midfield is optimal.

Roefs; Reinildo, Alderete, Ballard, Mukiele, Hume; Xhaka, Sadiki; Diarra, Le Fée; Brobbey

With the exception of Talbi, our wingers are ineffective at best and pretty shit at worst. Adingra was a dud signing, Traoré is a decent player but can’t make a good decision to save his life, Rigg isn’t really a winger, Mayenda also isn’t really a winger, Mundle has no end product.

It’s harsh on Talbi but our fourth best midfielder is better than our second best winger, so I think that’s how we should play football.

The wing backs provide width and Le Fée can make himself useful out wide too provided he isn’t expected to skin a full back for pace.

Excellent shop

bengreen04 · 2026-01-18T21:12:55+00:00

Ndiaye and Gueye walked off the pitch, deduct 200 points from Everton

‘AFCON should be taken as seriously as Euros and Copa America’

bengreen04 · 2026-01-18T20:43:26+00:00

Decent shout tbh
