Its a staple here. I heat it in a skillet with a little olive oil and throw some taco seasoning in with it, eat over salad.

Costco Eggs and Costco protein powder.

Eggs
I finally got my own chickens. These are the best damn eggs I have ever had.

Hindemburg Melao Jr. prefers this protein source as well unless he can get it straight from the tap.

glad to see you are still around, kubby.

you gotta try a dozen whole eggs a day, super cheap and great source of protein and fats. Everything just works better when eating a dozen a day. I like taking 6 whole eggs in a protein shaker, add lots of splenda, some cinnamon. Shake the hell out of it then poor the mixure in a pan. It looks and smells great and is even good cold and makes a perfect protein+fat meal if you eat it as is.
And for the price a whey blend of 50% concentrate, 50% iso is great post workout, I use it pre and during as well.

Agreed

was suprised eating a bag of pork scratchings the other day that per 100g was 55 grams of protein. I had a 75g bag so about 40 grams of protein. only 69p.
Didn't check the fat levels though...
-
The cheapest form of protein per gram I would say is dark chicken as in thigh and drum, if you buy in bulk, you are looking at nearly 100grams of protein per dollar. Anything over 50 grams of protein per dollar is extremely cheap for protein.
-
Myofusion ???
chicken, you can get it pretty cheap
-
chicken, you can get it pretty cheap
Ya, but I just realized it, that not everyone has this option cause I get 130 drums for less then 30 dollars from a chicken factory near by.
These are big drums so I would say they have around 20 grams of protein per piece, 130 divided by 3o equals 4.5 so, 4.5 drums per dollar ends up being 90grams of protein per dollar. Cheaper then eggs or egg whites.
I put 15 drums in the oven and eat them throughout the day, all of them but only like 2 days out of the week so I don't get sick of them, very economic.
-
If we're talking whey - reflex pure whey. But shit's expensive.
If were talking food - cheap/good protein grammage for your buck then make your own shakes with a shaker cup, 4 whole eggs, 6 tablespoons of skim milk powder, 400ml of skim milk, and sweetner/cocoa/PB to taste.
Works out about 50g protein albumein/casein and is cheap as fuk.

for anyone in the U.S., just go to your local big grocery store ( Hannaford, Market Basket etc), you can buy a WHOLE rotissery chicken for 3-4$ . Thats a whole chicken. Im guesstimating that its around 200g of protein at least?
and its not like eggs plain and boring, you can get creative with the chicken and use it as a base for other meals.

Is it just as good as eating chicken breast fillet though what with the quality and all? Doesn't the thigh and drumsticks have more fat running through the meat?

Your body can only digest 23.2543g of protein per hour so it is pointless to be eating tuna/chicken tins with 45/50g of protein. You will just poop out the leftovers. Your best bet is to take creatine (load it for a week or two first) and it will make your muscles bigger so you need less proteins to feed them and just do squats and drink a gallon of milk and you will grow all over, I swear. Don't take too much creatine either because if you take too many of it becomes like steroids and your hairs fall out.

Stay away from all the protein powders and supplements.....too expensive and many times these products don't live up to the hype.
Just eat solid foods......My 2 cents.

Myofusion ???
My nut because i take clomid.
-
Did anyone say straight from the tap yet?
-
Myofusion ???
The answer is.....WHATEVER GNC or Vitamin Shoppe has on clearance sale (i.e. SDC Nutrition's About Time Whey Isolate, 2 lb. $6.00).
Or, if your gym has a clearance rack, as mine does, you get products like Isolate Advantage (3 lb, $10.00).

Not true they're crap. yes, this is a bandwagon many are blindly on... Too expensive? Costs less than food, what the hell are you talking about?
The hype is overdone,yes.

As long as there are clearance sales, the price thing is not an issue.

Bro....have you been to the grocery store lately???
Eggs are very inexpensive.....Wheat bread is very affordable.....Lean ground beef is 6 bucks a pound....a bag of potatoes would run you 5-6 bucks.....protein powder is usually well over 50 bucks a tub.....do me a favor.....get off the crack you have been smoking!

$50 a tub?
Willie, say it with me...CLEARANCE SALE!!
As for lean beef being $6/pound, at what grocery store are you shopping? Even Sam's Club doesn't charge that much. Same goes for protein powder. A 5-lb bag will run you $35, tops, at least when Sam's Club switched to MuscleTech. When it sold EAS Whey Protein, it was $25-$28.
Plus, if you happen to be able to access a military commissary, you can get lean beef for $2.50/pound OR LESS.

LOL. eggs and ground beef are cheap yes, but up here ground beef, the lean stuff is more like $10 kilo, $12 for xlean. a dozen eggs $3, but I stock up when they go down to $2.
But to save cash, I buy horse meat at about $6 a kilo, it's super lean, I make burgers with it everyday almost.
What costs me the most are steaks and chicken. Regular price for chicken here is about $13 kilo. That gives about 4 servings of 200grams cooked. so 4 servings of 50 grams of protein costs $13.
Let's take the whey protein at $50 for 80 ish servings of 25 grams a serving. you have 40, 50 gram serving here.
Compare that to chicken, steak is more expensive so I won't go there, but just to show why I say the whey is less expensive... So to compare it to chicken on a $50 spending of chicken you get about 16 servings of 50 grams of protein for $50.
I pointed out I get 40 servings of 50 grams of whey. So whey is a 1/3 of the cost, even cheaper when compared to steak!
I get 3 whole food servings and 3 shake portions as I find both have their advantage. Too much of either I don't feel or look right.
So... Can I keep smoking that crack or should I change "providers"? LOL...

Yes.....ground beef is sometimes as low as 4 bucks a pound.....wheat bread is 2 bucks.....a 5 pound bag of potatoes will cost you all of 2 bucks.....many of the protein powders are 50 bucks or so for a good size tub.....solid food is the best route to go....IMHO.....you have no idea what is really in these so called powders.....look at how they fade away years later.....they are over hyped....period...paragr aph.

This isn't an argument about regular food vs. powders.
The point of my statement was that you need to find somewhere ELSE to shop, because the prices for BOTH the foods you cited and the protein powders are way too high.
Again, say it with me....CLEARANCE SALE!!
I have 4 lbs of whey protein isolate (SDC Nutrition) which cost me less a little over $15. They were marked down for clearance at GNC and I bought them during Gold Card week. One cost $9, the other cost $6.
Even if you don't go that route, Sam's Club sells 5-lb bag of protein powder for around $30. Do you live up North or out West? That must be the explanation for why stuff is so costly.

Since I have started taking 6 raw eggs every day for b'fast and 6 raw eggs at work, my strength has increased by one-third. Absolutely AMAZING, must be the natural enzymes......

protein powders are all ok, dollar for dollar its the cheapest lean protein source.
yeah some people now say protein isnt even needed to build muscle and little is enough to maintain muscle.
however i see that as dishonest statements.these people refer to studys made with people who dont work out.
you need plenty of protein to build muscle, yeah you can build muscle with less protein and more carbds but youll be fat.
and yeah, maybe you can maintain muscle with less protein if you eat enough fats and carbs, but again, youll be fat.
the "adonis principles" might aplly to women who never lift, but if you want to be lean and somewhat massive, you wont get around a somewhat claen, protein rich diet.
that said, id always prefer a meal to a protein shake, and the pre and post workout shake theories are most likely bullshit.
Yeah I see both ways on this. Steroids probably change the story but for "unassisted" lifters I think anyone wolfing down more than 100g of protein a day or so is wasting their money.

Yes....I live up north...if you are getting lean ground beef for less than 3-4 dollars a pound.....let me know where you live.....I will move there in a jiffy......without the military discount....what exactly are you paying for lean ground beef.

I buy boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.97lb, you have to buy a 5lb pack but it is pretty cheap lean protein.

Around $2.50 or less and that's not for ground beef. Certain cuts of steak is actually cheaper than the 97% lean ground beef (even cheaper than the 93% lean).
You might want to come down south, say Virginia, the Carolinas or Florida.

I know its disgusting and when butchers brought it out into the open, people were horrified. It's definitely going to lead to cancer or has and consumers are getting ripped off. It's wrong and needs to be banned. The australia government is so anal about banning supplements that you can get in the usa, but yet they allow meat glue. They are so corrupt and backwards here.

you can buy a dozen medium eggs at the $.99 store here in SoCal.
besides that, you can pick up some BodyFortress Whey Concentrate for $14 at walmart, or a 6lb (i think) bag of ... crap, i forget... i think cytosport whey? at costco for around $44.... or you can go to protein factory.com or supplement direct.com

I only use super-fresh eggs and use a vinegar-rinse on the outside of the eggs first to kill salmonella. Dirty eggs are the cause of poisoning.

Hey bro.....You get what you pay for.....I can go to a keno parlor and get a steak dinner with potato and salad for 7 bucks.....but again....it is at a keno parlor.....I doubt the quality of the lean ground beef/ steak is very good at that low price.....just my .02 though.

You can buy SEVERAL steak dinners for $7, if you shop properly. Marinades run $0.50 to $0.75. The quality of meat is great.
But, as stated earlier, you live up north. You might want to come down south.

You douche your eggs before you eat them? Thats hardcore. I dont even wanna think about what you must do to your tuna before putting it down

The quality of the meat is fine; I just had some of that steak (with black peppercorn flavoring) today for lunch, along with some collard greens.
As for protein powder, I just picked up a 2-lb jug of GNC Whey Isolate 28 for $10 (on clearance).
