Can any of you /fit/ anons give me a quick rundown of the cheapest protein rich foods you can buy please?

I'm about to head out and buy a supplement because I got to the end of mine yesterday but I want to pick up some food as well. I'm a newfag at resistance training and have only seen minor results over the last few months but I train pretty hard and have seen a personal trainer to make sure my form etc is right.
I know the basics like tuna and beans.

tl;dr
protein rich foods

Only thing basic that you didn't mention is peanut butter. I know some people who get it into their shakes.. look up a recipe online, I'm sure they are there

Lean red meat, chicken, egg whites, fish, and low or non-fat dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.)

i have it on multigrain for post-breakfast before lunch meal.

Yeah, I suppose there isn't any miracle foods. I just need to eat more meat and stick to it. I'm pretty broke after paying inner city rent so my diet generally sucks ha.

Here's a recipe I just tried out with peanut butter.

10-oz milk (10g protein)
1 scoop whey protein (23g protein)
3 Tbsp peanut butter (12g protein)
1/2 c of your favorite ice cream (I used a low-fat, low-carb toffee ice cream)(5g protein)

Blend for 30 seconds. I have a personal blender for this purpose.

It tastes really good. The peanut butter seems to go well with the toffee ice cream. Plus there's 50g worth of protein to boot.

Sounds good. I don't measure my stuff but I can only assume it's similar. I did milk + Two and a half scoops of the whey + vanilla ice cream + a banana + 5 cubes of ice. I enjoyed it.

I failed to get strawberries but usually I chop a couple up and throw them in. I'll try the peanut butter tommorow for sure though, it's just that everytime I do think about trying it it sounds so THICK. Like, peanut butter itself is so thick and I'm usually wanting something nice and refreshing and it sounds so counter to that.

Musashi 92 FTW! Just dont forget to get some carbs when you take it postworkout, a slice of bread or some shit.

I Acutally just got a different shake, with creatien and carbs for postworkout, but gonna keep getting the 92 for at night/in the morning/ at work.

In answer to your question, Skinless chicken, tuna, and Kangaroo, if you're an ausfag, that is.

ausfag yeah. Is Kangaroo high protein? I can't imagine eating it. It's moderately priced I think. When my friends were living on the dole they ate it instead of beef :p

YOUR BODY WILL NOT ABSORB MORE THAN 10g OF PROTEIN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IF YOU CONSUME A SHIT TON OF PROTEIN ALL IN ONE SITTING YOU WILL BE EXCRETING MOST OF IT.

Canned sardines. 62 cents at Wal-Mart, 17g of protein per tin.

Yup, Its actually about as good as it gets. You can get it at most major supermarkets, but i imagine that butchers would have it too.

And it tastes goooooooood. Also dont feel bad about eating it, the kangaroo population is out of control in most areas, what with them having almost no food, so if we dont eat them, they starve.

Yum yum yum.

Amerifag here.

Sounds delicious, is there any meat you could compare it to?

Being as ignorant as I am, I'm not sure what you guys have. I'm sure cow and pig, but deer? Or buffalo? Just curious...
>> Yoshi ?
There is always a sale on chicken some where for about 1-2$ per pound. Whether it be skinless bones less chicken breasts, bone-in thighs, or what ever. I don't think thats too unreasonable for a good source of protein.

peanut butter sucks, it's the worst protein source of all nuts. every other nut is better.

seeds are cheaper, and still give some OK protein, but nuts are better. Nutbutter is nice. lentils and legumes are super cheapest, have high protein. i'm just lazy and hate soaking. quinoa/soy are super

Often the timing and quality of protein is just as important as the quantity. If you eat something every two hours your digestive system will constantly be working, but if you only eat three big meals, you will have a spike in activity and then subside into a fast mode. You may notice you get drowsy after a big meal (say 3pm, after lunch?).

A good rule of thumb for new weight lifters is to eat 0.1% of your body weight in protein. So if you weigh 75 Kg, aim to eat at least 75 grams of protein. Typical numbers are 2 eggs - 13g, red meat 20g/100g, milk 8g/cup, yoghut 10g/tub, nuts 20g/100g, seeds 25-30g/100g, fish 20-30g. Other foods can be fortified such as soy and linseed bread 10g/2 slices, high protein grains and certain cheeses have more than others. Pizza can be 12-20g/100 but it has alot of salt. Heat can 'denature' or destroy protein, so don't overcook. If you have ever seen the movie Rocky, or some parody, that is the reason raws eggs are often eaten.

Consider altering your diet in small ways to maximize protein intake by changing what you already have, then you are more likely to stick to it. If you need something during part of the day where you don't each much protein, try a whey protein shake (expensive and not good if you are lactose intolerant), or for low cost have two raw eggs in a smoothie with some favourite fruits. Multigrain bread instead of white. Snack on mixed seeds, nuts and dried fruit. Have some yoghurt after a weights session with a banana. Eat a 3-egg omelette for dinner with fresh salad. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix of just more more more.

Not all protein is absorbed at the same rate; for instance, approximately 8% by mass of whey protein (milk, dairy) is available compared to 3-5% in prepared meat. The rest passes through your digestive track untouched, and if its protein supplements such as any amino acid (google for 20 common types of amino acid), almost 98% is passed out through urine. This just means that not all protein is equal, not every diet is for any person, and any change in diet will effect your bowel movements.

Ever wonder why gym toilets smell alot worse than other random toilets?

Peanut butter is good, but it has alot of oil and fat. If you are having topping on toast anyway, go for it, but raw nuts or a nut-type muesli is better.

If that's true, then why does everyone say to eat your bodyweight in protein per day? If your statement was true, then we'd have to eat lots of meals each day (I'd have to eat 21 meals each day).

The absorption limit is actually 25 grams per sitting.

Gawd, i gpot no idea. Deer maybe, as their diets are fairly simular, and they both do a lot of jumping around, so they carry not much fat.

I suppose kangaroos are hard to compare to other animals for lots of reasons... Those things are crazy.
