Groceries are insane lately what are you guys making that’s high protein but doesn’t demolish your wallet?

Eggs and oats with peanut butter. Dead cheap, crazy filling, and you can mix it up with cinnamon or berries so you don’t get sick of it.

Canned tuna, rice, and whatever frozen veggies are on sale. I live on that when groceries go stupid expensive.

I buy big bags of chicken leg quarters way cheaper than breasts and still tons of protein once you trim them up.

Beans + ground turkey/turkey sausage + rice = cheap, high-protein, and you can bulk it up with spices so it tastes good every day.

Love these ideas. I kinda panic when I see prices, so hearing what you guys are actually eating helps. Tuna and rice might be my first go-to.

Don’t sleep on cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Add some fruit or honey and it’s a cheap dessert that keeps the protein high.

Frozen salmon portions go on sale sometimes for way less than fresh. Good fats and protein without the sticker shock if you time it right.

I bulk-make lentil/bean chili with lean beef or turkey. Portion out for the week super cheap and keeps well.

Thanks for all the real-world meal ideas. I’m gonna start with tuna + rice and chicken leg quarters, then rotate in the chili so meals don’t get boring. Appreciate the help!
