Cheapest protein intake

[asianeyes]

I was just wondering, when I begin my cycle what would be the cheapest way to get the most amount of protein for your money. Should I load up on the cans of tuna and peanut butter or something like that? What do you fellas on a tight budget do.

eggs are great, protein powder is also a very good idea - avoid soy protein and try to get whey if you can afford it.

Ground beef/turkey and scrambled eggs is a dish that got me through some low $$ times.

Peanut butter is a bad idea incidentally - read the lable.

Tuna and eggs. turkey......those are pretty cheap

In Virginia cans of tuna run 33-50cents and each can has 32g P/ 0 carbs/2.5 f. Not bad, Im sitting on about 80 cans of it in my room. That should last me for about a week or so. Im in college so I get it as cheap as I can....Cant you get something wrong with you if you eat too much tuna? I am gonna find out soon enough...

YAAAA take some eggs and scramble them with ground beef, peppers and onions then add a little ketchup for taste. NOW THAT SOUNDS AMAZING. Good idea MadCow1 !!

some people say mercury levels are high in tuna, but others say the amounts aren't enough to worry about, if you are concerned do a search on mercury and tuna

Thanks bro, I think I might look into it. Karma for you!

Yes, it is a proven fact that eating too much tuna shrinks your penis.

I like 100% Whey from Optimum Nutrition. You can get it from www.dpsnutrition.com for about 25 bucks and you get about 1700 grams of protein in the 5 lb. container. Works out to about 1.5 cents a gram which is about as cheap as TUNA and quicker to ingest and absorb.

Simply Protein complete Whey 5lb bucket about $30
eggs-99cents a dozen
tuna--can find some for around 40-50 cents a can

Out here in San Diego ---there a tons of diff-grocery outlets so there are always sales going on---I just picked up 20 pounds of boneless-skinless chicken breast for 1.77 a pound

actually all-natural peanut butter is a good choice (esp-on a low carb diet) use this and flax oil and/or olive oil
