Protein meals on a budget!

Here I will list some cheap protein meals and tips for people on a budget that want to gain muscle or just maintain there muscle

List of cheap protein packed foods:
  • Canned Tuna (Make sure it's dolphin friendly!)
  • Omega-3 enriched eggs (Free range is best, but a bit more expensive)
  • Whey or Hemp proteins
  • 80% Ground Beef (A lot cheaper then lean and all you have to do is brown it then drain the fat to make it lean!)
  • Whole Milk/Homogenized Milk (Cheaper than skim milk and better for gaining muscle!)
  • Frozen Chicken Breast (Cheap and a must have in your freezer)
  • Quark or Cottage Cheese (Try it with some fruit like slices of peaches, it's surprisingly good!)
  • Ground Turkey (Best protein meat I know, again rinse out the fat to make it lean)
  • Toast with honey,peanut butter, and banana slices (My dad introduced me to this and it's wonderful, packed with protein, and extremely healthy for you!)
  • Lentils (Super cheap and packed with 26g protein per 100g of lentils!)
  • Soybeans (Best overall protein percentage coming in at 36g per 100g of soybeans)
  • Tofu (Small chunks of tofu in Miso Soup (Paste used for miso soup is made from soybeans! Double the protein and it taste great with Nori (Seaweed) strips in it!)
  • Spinach (Popeye style!)
