Best cheap source of protein?

[Jamesyd77]

I'm a student so I don't get much money. At the minute I get £15 a month, that's about $30. I don't really get enough protein in my diet even though I have meat for dinner most nights so I was just wondering what you think is the best value source of protein. Ps, PB makes me puke

[micky89]

feel sorry for ya bro, where I work I get lots of meat half price then a staff discount on top of that. Costs next to nothing.

Milk and eggs are cheap

30g a scoop, 1000/30

If ur gonna buy whey do it on a deal in bulk, i picked up 6kg for 60 pounds.

^^ what he said
Always buy in bulk and you save so much money. As I said I got 18 lbs of whey, 326.5 servings of 25g of protein so if I do 2 shakes a day that will last me 5.4 months lol 100 bucks for half a years worth of whey is the best deal I've ever gotten.

Protein powder is gram for gram the cheapest source.

You're from the UK, yeah? How the balls are you supposed to live off of £15 a month?? You're still living at home, right?

Way to figure out cheapest source of protein - buy some, divide the price of what you bought by the amount of protein it has (if it's something you cook, make sure you take into account the cooked weight) It can be a bit of a hassle to do, but thanks to this I now know whether or not something is a good source of protein, based on how much it costs.

What shops you got nearby? Lidl, Sainsburys, etc?

If you're talking protein quality lol cost is not a good indicator. The best way to tell if it's a high or low grade protein is to check for leucine content if the manufacturer will even divulge this information.

Hmm its like $50USD for 2lbs whey here
I'll stick to eggs,milk and chicken ..muuuuch cheaper
