I need a some help. I've started lifting again after some injuries (not related to lifting, but work and getting older related). I know I need to increase protein intake, but I'm on a tight budget..

What are your suggestions for getting the biggest protein bang for my buck? Fish and seafood are out due to allergies.

Thanks for any advice!

    Canned tuna and cottage cheese. Mix the two with some chopped boiled egg, celery, and onion, and you've got something crazy like 40g-60g of protein.

    *Edit: Add bacon bits for flavor and more protein, and because, hey, bacon!
    **EditEdit: Crumbled bacon, not the fake crap.
