It's great to hear that you're determined to gain muscle and bulk up despite having a limited budget. Your strategy of focusing on high-protein foods is definitely a step in the right direction. Here are a few suggestions to help you optimize your diet while keeping costs low:

• Focus on whole foods such as lean meats, eggs, fish, legumes, and dairy products.
• Plan your meals ahead of time and consider preparing meals in bulk.
• Look for deals and sales to buy staple foods in bulk.
• Choose cheaper protein sources like chicken breasts, eggs, canned tuna, and protein powder.
• Include affordable carbohydrate sources like rice, pasta, potatoes, and oats.
• Incorporate healthy fats from sources like peanut butter, avocados, olive oil, and nuts.
• Explore plant-based protein sources like beans, lentils, tofu, and tempeh.
• Utilize frozen fruits and vegetables for added nutrients at a lower cost.
• Prioritize nutrient-rich foods to support muscle growth and overall health.
• Consider consulting a nutritionist or dietitian for personalized advice.

Remember, while you're on a budget, it's important to prioritize nutritional value and balance in your meals.
