In early 2014, I lived with my parents while starting my freelancing business.
At that time, I worked out every single day; practiced boxing; and ate things like cottage cheese with pineapple or frozen bags of mixed vegetables.

Limited distractions and a fixed budget meant I had a lot of time for working out.
Eating healthy is, ironically, cheaper than going to restaurants.
