Protein is too expensive

>>76504251 (OP)
tuna is 2$ a can, beans are 3$ per kg, and pork is as cheap as 6$/kg
If you cannot afford a 200$/mo grocery bill, re-evaluate your finances

>>76504266
>$2 for 10g of protein
very cheap and very convenient.

>>76504283
>$2 for 10g of protein
what kind of filler are they putting in your shit? a single $2 120g (drained) can should have 24g of protein.

>Protein is too expensive
if you mean protein=beef , yes its expensive.
fish, chicken, whey still cheaper

>>76504251 (OP)
beans and lentils nigga. That is your punishment for being poor.

>>76504528
With some brown rice too for complimentary amino acid profile.

you know you can eat more than one thing, right?

>>76504251 (OP)
Recycle your cum loads, dumb fuck.

>>76504533
If mercury is so bad for you, why do fish eat it all the time?

>Protein is too expensive
IT IS NOT - u are just chugging too much of it
>but muh gains, i need to maximize gainz
no, u need to minimize protein usage - this will make u happier and healthier and will extend gainz, unlike diarrhea and protein farts

>>76505630
How much protein do I need then?

>>76505749
Nta but you need 120-150g. Anyone who says you need less is trying to kill your gains

>>76505749
0.6g/lb, also ignore botschizo he's mentally ill and doesn't know what he's talking about.

>>76505777

>>76505891
>0.6g/lb,
half of that bitch gpt bot, and make it and goal not requirement :D

protein is in other stuff bot, just as useful when u supplement with the goodest stuff = whey gold standard

>>76504251 (OP)
Is this the thread?

>>76505947
Shut the fuck up faggot. You're DYEL.

>>76505891
Have 10g/lb for all I care fatass, I'll go with what the research says over your midwit standards. inb4 soience. Suck my soicence faggot.

>>76505990
if i take your advice ill have to go from 150g protein to 95g. Won't i lose my gains? Also it's hard to eat so little protein even if you are cutting. I mean two chicken breasts and some eggs are around 100g

>>76504533
thanks, i will.

>>76506058
I'm not saying you should drop your protein intake, I'm saying there doesn't seem to be much difference between 0.6g and 1g/lb.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1400008/

You will not lose your gains, but you maybe won't gain muscle as optimally.
Also I was a bit off in my last post, it was about ~0.73–0.77 g/lb for building muscle.

That's just one study but the results are pretty consistent across all studies.

1g/lb is fine. More than that likely does nothing. If you finding eating 1g/lb hard or too expensive, dropping to 0.7g is OK.

>>76506083
>If you finding eating 1g/lb hard
I'm finding it hard to stay under 190g protein for some reason. I mean it's just too easy to overeat protein. Switching to carbs doesn't seem ideal either so i don't know, ill do my research

>>76506372
You can't really over-eat protein, you just piss it out like vitamin C. Sounds like you're fine.

>>76506412
what about kidney damage?

>>76504266
>tuna
Goated, especially when made into tuna salad

Also goated

Haram and disgusting

>>76504321
Begone, Jew!

>>76506651
you are brown

>>76506656
Is your argument that farming lobbies are jewish? Because that would be silly and stupid. ꜱoy is demonstrably a SERM, the problem is monocropping rapes american soil of nutrients and by virtue the processed food made with it is low in nutrients.
Please be more specific.

>>76506661
he is right about the disgusting part.

>>76506670
Sorry Jew, but your false information won’t fool me!

>>76506661
Nope I’m 100% white. Seethe

>>76506634
If you have existing or latent kidney conditions, maybe. Animal-based proteins seem to be less "kidney-friendly" than plant based ones. Hydration is very important. But 1g/lb should be ok. If you're getting like 2g/lb per day, then yeah that definitely could cause kidney problems down the line. It's a dice roll, that's why some people live to 100 drinking alcohol every day, but they're an anomaly.

>>76504251 (OP)
Chicken thighs my friend. You can boil them and eat them plain and they're tasty just like that.
I just made a giant pot (~20 servings) of chicken soup for less than $25.
>16 chicken thighs, skin and bones included
This is the most important part. Everything else is up to your preference. I like to use a traditional mirepoix:
>1 pound carrots
>1 whole bunch of celery
>2 yellow onions
And then for extra fun:
>mushrooms
>whole pod of garlic
>potatos, whatever kind you like, enough to thicken the liquid.
>spices like Himalayan salt, Thyme, dill, mustard, Italian blend, parsely, whatever you feel like really

Boil chicken, make a very fatty broth. Remove chicken and cook veggies in broth. Remove bones and skin from chicken and put it back in. Boil bones and skin separately to make more schmaltzy broth, pour it in as you go.
I cook it all day so it cooks down to a very tasty vegetable bisque with tons of shredded chicken floating around and lots of that good collagen from the chicken bones.
I make this about every 4-6 weeks, keep it in my freezer and it's great served with mashed potatoes (which i also make in bulk and freeze) and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

Tldr don't be a lazy ass who thinks of protein as powders and shakes

>>76504251 (OP)
Depends on the protein. Make a list of protein sources you like. Look up prices and macro profile. Calculate cost per gram of protein (and calories per gram of protein if you are concerned about that). Buy the cheapest shit that you are willing to eat that gets you to your targets. Picrel an example of relative protein costs in my area, although its a couple years out of date at this point.

Overlooking the gross misuse of "your", this based anon gets it

>>76506717
seems like a good recipe but it takes hour to be done and i don't like meal prepping, i usually just buy chicken breasts and cook 2 per day and eat them for the day, i hate eating cooked food the day after. Also are you broke and you get thighs or better taste? Also how do you calculate macros for per serving?

>>76506703
So you don't have a point, got it. Have fun being mad I guess.

>>76506723
Not OP but

>30k only in the bank
>make like 800 euros per month on average
>groceries are like 400 a month
>200 euros left for fun

Should i be eating frugally or is 30k a safe spot?

>>76506707
>mudslime argument
>n-n-n-nuh uh I'm white!!!!
>doesn't post hand
you are brown

>>76506756
30k is only enough for 1.5 years rent - no bills on top of it - where I live. You could probably get a year of uncomfortable living but you'd be skimping food, not buying soap or cleaning supplies, and probably not using the internet.

>>76506717
This is awesome. Is there a name for this dish? I want to watch recipe videos

>>76506743
>takes an hour
No it takes all day. That's why I make so much of it. Take a day you don't have to work and let stuff cook on the stove while you're home. You can turn it off if you leave and turn it back on when you get home. Then freeze it.
>i don't like meal prepping
That's how you save money, and time. No I'm not broke because I do things like cooking in bulk and freezing it instead of cooking every single day.
>how do you calculate macros for per serving
I've been doing this long enough (21+ years) that I really don't autistically count macros too often. I just try to make every meal centered around protein and that gets me enough for the day. With the soup, I'm eating a big scoop of chicken every time, and I'm really fully afterwards.
If you really wanted to, just do it like you would anything else: calculate the protein of the total pot (chicken, veggies, etc) then divide it among how many servings you get out of it.

>>76506785
Hey thanks. I just use pretty traditional French ideas (which is what most western cooking is based off).

Main ideas:
Dark meat with skin and bones. Lots of flavor, very good for you.
Mirepoix of celery, onion, carrot.

Here it straight from the fridge. It looks a lot more appetizing when it's heated up plated with mashed taters etc

>>76506811
Looks great. I started a little herb garden in my apartment and have been looking for recipes to use them in.

Looking forward to eating your meat sometime soon

I'm surprised half of this board doesnt know that beans and chicken dont have enough protein in them to get to the recommended levels lmfao.

>>76506965
>500g chicken + 500g kidney bean
>100% amino acid profile
>1460 calories
>200g protein
nigga are you retarded or something?

>>76506965
Fucking what?
PDCAAS of chicken is literally 1 and if you aren't eating the skin its lean as fuck.
Beans PDCAAS is relatively shit, but combined with rice it still has a complete amino acid profile and reasonable digestibility.

>>76506980
Are you? Because none of that is true LMFAO. Youtube health gurus are a plague. You basically have no choice but to buy protein powder (which, btw american, is made of meal worms)

>>76507008

I get these little cans of deenz from stop&shop for 89 cents a pop. Fishy protein goodness.

>>76504251 (OP)
Just drink milk and eat food dumbass. Imagine sucking down mystery powder probably from China in late stage capitalism. Go on Alibaba right now and look up how much cheaper it is to order pallets of "whey protein powder" from China than it is to get it from dairy farms in the US. Is China known for its cheese production and cows everywhere? Fuck no, god knows what that shit is. You think companies who are trying to cut costs actually care if the shit is authentic or not? Fuck no x2, you'd probably buy from the cheapest source too and are naive enough to believe it's real. Those companies are buying in bulk from China and putting that fake shit into supplements sold here, and they can still call it made in the USA because it's assembled here with all the other filler ingredients they add like flavoring. Nobody even checks or tests it anyway, the shit is not regulated by the FDA. They could sell you powderized cow feces from India and youd gobble up your choccy muscle powder with delight.

Even with it definitely all being fake, milk is 3x less expensive per the same amount of protein.

But seriously who is filming these people?
It's insanely rude, they know they're ugly

>>76507170
I'm considering deens because I want to eat the whole animal. I started eating ground beef with organ meats mixed in and it gave me rock hard boners. We're missing a lot not eating the skin and bones and organs.

How nasty are deens though? I've accidentally eaten fish skin and it tasted metallic. Do you have to force yourself? Are there actually tasty brands to get?

>>76507251
King Oscar Mediterranean style
Is the best tasting straight from the tin
But pricey

Take the costco pill. I get 5.5lb bags for $50. I CANNOT find it cheaper anywhere else.
Every time I go in I grab a couple bags "just in case" and now I have spent hundreds on protein sitting on my countertop.
Chicken breast is also pretty good just takes too long to prepare imo.

>>76506707

>>76507251
There are deenz like the little can I posted which are fine, not offensive or anything just a little fish with some scales covered in shitty tomato sauce. If you spend 3-10 dollars you can get a gourmet tin of delicous deenz that are pleasant to eat.

Bro, I can get a kilo of skyr for less than 3 euros here. That's like 90g of protein right there
