Eggs are the cheapest and most complete protein on the planet , but they can be boring eating egg after egg . I"m a big cottage cheese guy , 1 cup 2% fat cottage cheese has 25 grams protein with only 160 calories . ~Bo

What does a regular size container cost, haven't had it for years.

can of tuna 156 grams ( drained) 88 cents/can, 14grams of protein per 56g serving, so u get about 30-35 grams of protein per can

1 pound of lean ground beef 95% contains about 90 grams of protein as well
get it on sale all the time, usually eat a pound of beef after a workout, makes 3 good burgers
here in canada they had 6 pounds of lean ground beef on for 6 bucks, so like a buck a pound, so i filled my freeer up, onl allowed 3 packages per customer, but just went in everday lol, the Superstore here always has deals like that, i myself look for the best deals, as my job doesnt pay that good but i like to bargain shop and bulk up on sale items!
last week i spent 80 bucks on groceries

here's the list

6- dozen egg containers
24-cans of tuna
3- 6 pound lean ground beef
4- bags of pasta
4- 4 cheese alfredo mix
2- big bags of mixed veggies

Note i can eat the same meal day in and day out, doesnt bother me!
