What is the cheapest source of protein in the world?

[Spork]

Welp, im a poor, poor man. I dont think I can afford proein powder anymore, just too damn expensive for how much you get. Are there any alternatives for protein? Tuna is kind of cheap, but I am thinking of something that I could buy in a bulk bin or something? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Eggs. Lean meats.

Cheap protein

Tuna, chicken, eggs, London broil. To buy it at a discount it must be purchased in bulk. Do you have a Costco or a Sams, if you do try there. The thing with buying in bulk it's a chunk of $ to drop at one time, though you save in the long run.

i would say tuna....eggs are cheap but you would go throughe eggs faster than eating 1 can of tuna.go down and get a bunch of cans and eat about 2 a day between other meals.......

If you search the web, you can get a good deal on protein powder, and will actually be paying less than for most other sources. A scoop w/18 grams of protein usually works out to about $.40. The same amount of protein in egg whites is anywhere from $.50 - $1, depending on what kind of deal you get, and chicken breasts are about $.75 per piece, but has about 25 grams of protein--still a bit more expensive per gram, though. So if you want cheap, you may actually be better off with the protein powder.

If you have a friend that hunts.....have him bag a deer for you... deer meat is high in protein and less fat than chicken

It's gotta be tuna. If you can find cans at 3 for a dollar, that is almost one cent per gram with no fat or carbs mixed in.

My advice would be to go easy on the tuna, even though it's cheap, because then you'll be like me and won't ever want to touch the stuff again. This doesn't happen with egg whites or cottage cheese.

It entirely depends on what part of the world you live in. Where I live, lamb is cheap and chicken breasts require a second mortgage! On a world scale, soy protein is unquestionably the cheapest.......

Why not buy a hen ?

it will give you eggs first
and when too old for the eggs you will just eat it
