Milk for me, $2.10-2.40 a gallon at Dollar General.

[MetilHed]

I guess you cant be godtier on a budget

[doughnutgut]

I can get 22lb of breast for £32.
22lb of drums for £15.
Thighs even cheaper.

I must buy them at a minimum of 10kilo at a time though.

TBH. Eggs bought from cheap food markets are a great bang for your buck with 7g per egg and a serious mixture of fantastic nutrients.


Once you really dial in on counting. You will amaze yourself at how relatively simple 0.8g of Protein per lb is to eat.

I can get a pound of beef liver for around a dollar a pound at my local grocery store. That's 128 grams of protein, maybe 16g fat, and around 850 calories. You can't get much cheaper than organ meats.

i dont really have a budget> Op is underage. Just getting a list of protein i can buy in bulk.

Tuna is a personal favourite and I'm not afraid to eat a couple of tins a day. That said, tuna are apex predators or close to it depending on type and accumulate heavy metals, so do your own research before going nuts. Check the type you eat as well because the mercury levels vary by type and region.

Is there a question here? OR are you thinking that you're reinventing the wheel?

[LiftLaughLive]

Well if you take up hunting, bullets are pretty cheap per pound of meat you can get. You're welcome.

I have bought 6 lb of chicken breast twice a week- in some traditional marketplace to fulfill my protein intake-, and this lady frown and asked me if I'm going to sell it again at a higher price .. She thinks I'm a trafficker or something. Bodybuilding in a third world country ..
2 Pounds of boneless chicken breast cost around $3.5 in my country.

Ummm tuna for me , it always works ... Especially if you are on the go and don't have time to cook.. Grab few canned tunas and hit the door. 😐

[Sherniee]

Bags of dried black beans. Really cheap, good mix of fibre & protein. Requires some preparation though.

[mike33511]

Pork is much cheaper than steak and just as delicious. Shoulder blade steak, pork butt, pork chops... Great stuff if you ever get tired of chicken.

[unknown00]

buy what's on sale at the grocery store that's what i do!

[CalebLuther]

Never thought about beans XD hmm? ill give it a try, but im pretty sure i hate beans>but protein and fiber

[doughnutgut]

Type protein sources into google.

Then read stickys in this area of the forum.

Deer is alot of my protein source in the fall, alot less comes from duck though, maybe that should change.

Das it but I heard too much of it can jack your cholesterol. Could be broscience.

Beef liver actually has less cholesterol than eggs. Eggs have 4.24mg/g, beef liver 3.81. In simpler terms, eating four eggs for breakfast is the equivalent of eating almost 11oz of beef liver in a day. Not all cholesterol is bad either.

isnt beef liver one of the best sources of protein also? Exaclty how do you cook it?

[zeppp]

bulk whey would have to be cheapest.. a dozen eggs is about 2$ thats 72 grams of protein if you eat the whole egg. you can get 5lb tubs of whey for 40 dollars or less. the eas i get is 72 servings of 26 grams for 40$

much cheaper than eggs. not even close

It's chock full of vitamins and high in protein content - 1oz yields 8g of protein, 1g more than chicken.

I typically eat mine with breakfast. I throw some oil in a frying pan once it gets hot (usually coconut oil or bacon grease) then brown some onion rings with a clove of garlic. While that's browning, I mince the liver and then once it's ready I dump it all in and cook it until it's all brown through. I typically cook anywhere from 4-8oz. You can eat it that way, mix it in with eggs, throw in some bacon bits, etc. but that's my favorite way.

You can get 20 cartons of eggs for $40. That's 240 eggs, or roughly 1440g of protein. You're only getting shorted by a couple grams per serving, so no it's not much cheaper, it's pretty equivalent.

20 cartons egg x 72 protein per (this is granting that someone is going to eat the whole egg, every single time) is 1,440 protein. for $40. Or, 76 servings ($40) of whey @ 26 protein a serving totaling 1,976 grams of protein. that is about 30% more protein for the same amount of money. It isn't "about equivalent" you stupid contrarian ****.

that's also a name brand, 5 lb tub. you can buy bulk (20+ pounds), unflavored, non name brand whey for much, much cheaper.

As I said, whey is much, much cheaper. thanks for attempting to prove me wrong without actually using any brain cells

So you just plan on eating powder instead of real food? Enjoy your diet.

For what it's worth, I get 18 eggs for $1.50 at one of my local stores. 26x18x6 is 2808g of protein, plus change left over.
