    eggs. turkey bacon. whey protein. greek yogurt. chicken thighs are usually cheaper than chicken breasts and just as good. turkey meat. walmart has tuna pouches for around a buck fifty that have 20/21ish grams of protein.

    Basic pea soup (split peas, water, seasonings). It's great WITHOUT added protein. I save my ham/bacon to use in a dish where I can actually taste them. :)

    Pork loins/chops and chicken thighs and whole chickens are typically less than or right around $2/lb on the high end where I live.
    Meat and veg curries made with coconut cream poured over rice (or had with some other starch) are pretty easy, flavorful, and reheat well.

    You can. But steal cut oats are better. They are less processed and require more energy for your body to break down.
