eggs, or protein shakes are the easiest

Thanks! I thought about the protein shakes just not sure I want to spend $75 However often. Maybe I'll hard boil some eggs!

depending on where you buy your protein it can actually be one of the cheapest sources of protein out there. hard boiled eggs are great though, very convenient to make and take on the go

There are different types of protein. I use whey isolate for post-workout and whey concentrate for meal replacement. (may have gotten that backwards) That $75 bucks easily lasts me six months or more. It's probably about the same as what I spend on eggs, milk and cottage cheese in a month. Do you have a gym membership? If that's worth the monthly cost this is even more valuable.

Protein shakes don't have to be expensive. Shop around and look for whey isolate. You get the most protein for your calories.

I also eat mini babybel cheese. 50 calories and 6g protein. You don't have to be a chef to make chicken ahead of time. I also cook large batches at a time.

Easy recipe: 1 jar salsa (like for chips); 3-4 chicken breasts--Add both to the crockpot and cook on low 6-8 hrs. Once it's done shred the chicken and mix. Save in a tupperware to eat throughout the week. Great over rice or as taco filling. I also eat some over toast and some cheese on top.

For grilled chicken or oven cooked chicken I cut the chicken breast in smaller pieces and season with just garlic salt and a little sprinkle of spanish sazon (red powders) to give it some additional color. Just go easy on how you sprinkle so it's not salty...mix in a shake or two of soy sauce and vinegar....let it sit a few minutes to marinade and cook in the oven or grill.

It really isn't hard to cook chicken...and if you don't have any intolence to eggs...it is one of the best foods to eat too.

Mental note of the salsa recipe!

32 oz. Plain Nonfat Greek yogurt. Yeah, that should do the trick.
