Need tips for low budget protein

Broccoli is low in calories, high in potassium and protein.

Tuna is cheap and easy, but high in sodium if you have to worry about that. 39 g for a $1.65 pouch @ wal mart. It is also calorie efficient. Only 180 cals.

chicken, tuna, eggs, fish...

if you are on a serious budget i'd think you'd get more bang for your buck buying real food for protein than trying to get it in with supplements/bars/powders/etc.

Hey guys,

I am doing a 40/40/20 macro split on a 1900 calorie diet. I am having a hard time hitting the proteins diet to even get to 200g per day.

I have a low budget and I can't afford doing 3-4 scoops of whey per day (around 35g per scoop). any tips on getting cheap protein? Just protein and minimum everything else please. (i dont want to resort to chugging cottage cheese)

thanks

Chicken breast, whole eggs, tuna fish, cottage cheese, ground beef, lentil beans

You can make your own greek yogurt. All you need is a crockpot and something to strain it (bowl, colander, cheesecloth or tight-woven dishtowel). Cheap cause you only pay for the milk and a starter yogurt and get about 8 cups of greek yogurt out of 2 quarts of milk.
Or you can buy regular plain yogurt and strain it to get greek yogurt. Higher protein for the same calorie count.

Chinese style tofu, it's better than you think.

Yes! Use it in a fruit smoothie.

I think Japanese style is a better texture for smoothies and mixes.
