- On my videos about diet and hitting your protein target, the most common comment is:
“RIP Wallet”
So here are my top 4 favourite high protein items on a budget.
Number 4: Tinned tuna. It doesn’t taste great, but if you mix it with a metric f*ckton of mayonnaise, or make fish cakes out of them.
Number 3: Low fat diary. I particularly like greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Full of protein and low in calories.
Number 2: Eggs. Poach ‘em, fry ‘em, boiled ‘em. Relatively cheap and very versatile.
And Number 1: Every gym bro’s go-to food, protein powder.

For mayo n tuna? £2 a day
Swear people complain about anything 😂 these are cheap bro. But I guess in today's economy in America at least everything is expensive.
@@Smurfiswe're in thirld world country so tuna is more expensive than chicken
This is a joke I presume rip 💀
@@Smurfis where I live 4 cans of cheap tuna is over $4 and the cheap Mayo light is $4. If you have two cans of tuna and 2 tablespoons of Mayo for every meal its between $6-$7 a day and like 800 calories. I believe on average a person should be eating around 2300 calories a day so that immediately makes it around $18 a day per person. Just commenting because people like you shouldn’t be commenting dumb incorrect things.
u forgot sardines. 20g a tin and under 50p at tesco
& taste awful (Gammon lads)
There's no way possible I'm eating sardines. I'd have to be literally starving to put sardines anywhere near my mouth.
I wish i liked sardines now
not too disimilar to tuna in my opinion. plus u feel like a primal caveman @@yonatanmonneler1744 🤣
@@NewAgeWorkout so feminine, so girly 💅
You should probably quit the gym little girl
Eggs,tuna, dairy all good, but protein powder = rip wallet
BRO CALCULATE PROTEIN POWDER IS REALLY THE CHEAPEST SOURCE OF PROTEIN
Whey protein is cheap. 1 scoop a day is gonna last up to a month. That’s like 1 dollar a scoop lol
I can get a bag of protein powder that lasts a month for less than then bucks
@@orphan-eater Idk where y'all live or where you getting this, but when I got protein powder one half full container was 47 USD. And it doesn't make sense to buy any small bottles or bags because the smaller containers cost more per gram.
@@michaeldavis6993how much gram in the container?
Chicken breast is usually around 2-3 bucks a pound and a pound can last around 2-4 servings
Doesn't seem so bad right? 🤷♂
eggs a tuna is a protein overload and its so natural
this guy knows whats up🙌
Quick recipe Aldi Style -
Get Tomatoes and grilled peppers pasta sauce from aldi
Penne Pasta
Can of Tuna In spring water
Take a pan, 1 table spoon oil
Add tuna (2 min fry)
Add boiled pasta
Add Sauce
Fry For 5 Mins And Thats Done
Taste Good. High Protein, Clean Meal.
Sounds decent 👌
Tell me you eat at the foodbank without *Telling me* you eat at the foodbank 😂
Sardines are great, start with ones in tomato, then try in brine with plenty salk and pepper or even add herbs and spices. Great to have with eggs for breakfast, easy 50g protein for less than $1.50
Yep, also a brilliant suggestion ☝️
if you're trying to lose weight specifically, i recommend the tuna packets, because you don't have to add mayonaise for them to be good.
Definitely a great option!
Canned tuna is amazing, I eat it with cooked potatoes.
Especially when it contains too much oil makes it taste great, but when it’s low in oil it taste alright. Plus it’s better to eat tuna if it’s cold, like room temperature
@@sh3nmei_226🤔 I'd rather have it cooked
I love canned tuna also, but apparently you have to eat it sparingly due to mercury I guess unfortunately or I would eat it everyday
I eat the water ones. I can't with the oily onces
Watch your mercury bro
Tuna taste good even in spring water
You're a stronger man than me 😂
Just like meat with salt marinated ,not that bad and felt healthier 😂
@@dll2110 💪🐠
@@dll2110I like tuna as well. I mix it with a little mayo tho, but I could eat it raw not bad at all.
my phone literally vibrated when he said RIP WALLET
Bruh canned tuna is so fucking deliscious. I guess it depends on which one you buy
Definitely true that the brand makes a big difference. Do you add mayo?
@@jake.alfred.fitness Nah, most mayo has a ton of unnatural shit in it. I like to just eat it together with some eggs and/or sweet potatoes.
@@kovaclimbs Hardcore dude. Love it
@@jake.alfred.fitness Thanks G👊
Tuna is a real protein hack. Youll be VERY hard pressed to find a protein powder with a better calories to protein ratio. They are around 1 gram of fat, 130 calories, and 30 g of protein per can and even with Bidenflation you can still get them 1.50$ a can. Doesn't taste good but doesn't really taste bad either. Just bland and dry. Just scarf it down. You shouldn't cover it in mayo or fry it of course but hot sauce goes a long way imo. The real issue is the mercury. Big fish like tuna have a ton. Its really not something you should be eating every day. I mix it up with sardines and tinned salmon. Both taste better imo (I LIKE sardines. Chicken of the Sea makes one in hot sauce and I actually think it's pretty fire) and both are only slightly higher in fat and calories and more like 20 g of protein instead of 30g. There is also canned mackerel which is quite a bit higher in fat but also higher in omegas and good fats. I eat a decent amount of those 4 things. Sardines you also probably shouldn't eat every day either though because of the arsenic... I think? Everything is trying to kill you. Lol. Doesn't Joe Rogan talk about how he was actually hospitalized because he was eating like 3 cans a night for awhile?
Also skim milk in your protein powder tastes WAY better than water and seems to mix better than water as well and it adds like 10g of protein and a lot of vitamin D and calcium (which people on strict diets struggle with getting enough of because dairy can be fatty) with no fat and only like 80 calories a cup.
Finally, ground turkey. Plus them make them pre seasoned in Italian and taco varieties. The Italian one for meatballs and the taco one in low carb tortillas with rice and beans is quite good. I eat a lot of both. I know a lot of people dont like lean ground turkey but Id try the Italian and taco ones. I like them.
Another thing that hasn't suffered too bad from Bidenomics (Look its just a fact. Grocery prices have tripled in the last 4 years. Not trying to get political) is the pre cooked rotisserie chickens at the supermarket. Good ny themselves. Toss them in a salad or a wrap or a sandwich or chicken soup. Honestly not much more than a dollar or two more than cooking a chicken yourself and so much easier and you dont have a rotisserie anyway. Remove the skin and you remove like 2/3s of the fat ane calories.
Rice n Tuna with Maine's just mix it well that thing is good
Don't eat tuna more often than twice a week because it contains high levels of mercury. Sardines are a good alternative since they are very low in mercury.
canned tuna are good, my local brand has one in sunflower oil and i always mixed it in rice porridge. Just tastes so good
🫡
Sunflower oil is terrible on the body. Causes tons of inflammation
Tuna is the best thing for breakfast or late night snack for me and it is cheap
I like eggs too a lot but here where I live the price goes up every day
Protein powder is not a cheap source at all, it’s several times the price of chicken per 100g of protein
Either the protein powder you are buying is needlessly expensive, or the chicken you're buying is worryingly cheap
@@jake.alfred.fitness I think your maths is just bad pal haha
Agree, 21g of protein from powder is 2x more expensive than 62g of chicken breast (200g) here
@@Kampbell300 If you say so
@@rinreborn7364 yes and chicken breast is the most expensive, using a whole chicken is even cheaper
1 hot and ready pepperoni pizz from little ceasers is 2500 calories and 122g of protien at just 7 bucks and I personally can smash that in one sitting great and cheap for bulking !!!!
Great tip! Just don't get diabetes 💀
Hey bro Sorry if This comment is stupid
So lets go in the topic
I see my tuna has 7 grams of protein in the back per serving but they said serving per container is 3 does that mean i have 21 grams of protein pls reply@@jake.alfred.fitness
I respect what you’re saying but stay healthy bro
it is not expensive at all to hit protein intake daily, its probably because most people eat out alot and yes if you eat out all the time to get your protein then yes you will spend a shit ton of money, but it is not expensive to put some white rice on and cook chicken at home, its actually cheap af
Agreed. Tinned tuna and whey protein are also fairly affordable
I can confirm in London you won’t get anything cheaper sadly it’s a struggle to eat healthy
Hang in there broski 😢
Chicken legs 18g protein per 100g from Aldi 2kg for £4 which is 360g of protein for just 4 quid
isn't its 2.25 for 1 kg now
@@vinayaktripathi4669 nah £4 if you buy the larger value pack
Tuna fish. Caribbean season peppers salt n black pepper with a hint of scotch bonnet hot sauce to liking you’ll stock this in your house for life
Tofu and Tempe too, in indonesia you can get so much protein just only spend 1 dollar
Great suggestions for sure 👌
Thank u very much i used this it helped!
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
On a budget and he proceeds to saying some expensive stuff like protein powder 🤦🏾♂️
Per serving, is protein powder REALLY that expensive?
@@jake.alfred.fitness and where on earth do they sell protein powder only jst per serving
Protein powder cost a fifth of my monthly wage. Definitely not cheap, chicken is a good cheap source
? Seriously? Think again. Do the math. How much does 100g of protein from chicken cost vs 100 g from powder ( with 70-80g per+100
@@gur262 protein powder in my country is not as cheap as in western countries
@@MyLegsAreKindaLongwhat country?
@@apza120 Vietnam, we made like 300$ a month
@@MyLegsAreKindaLong if it really is that expensive, you should try importing and start a business lol
Tuna is full or heavy metals apparently...
You missed spam and canned chicken 😂
Didn't know canned chicken was a thing? Sounds sus... 😂 🤢
How the heck is yoghurt and eggs cheap
they are not the cheapest as a whole right now but you still get one of the best protein ratios for the price as a single egg has a good amount of protein
Me omw to put all of those things into a single meal and become fucking Godzilla
RIP wallet
chicken yogurt eggs milk salmon tuna peanut butter
High protein
Protien powder is no less than 100us in my country
This is what I buy still I count as a expensive if you want to eat this on regular basis
Well, protein is expensive, these are just relatively inexpensive options 😅
you can't afford to get a pack of chicken thighs and a bag of white rice to eat sufficient protein ??? I think you have other worries besides trying to build muscle man
Your awesome
Is eating canned tuna by cooking it with oil and some onions good or not?
Do it
Protein powder ain’t cheap.
Compared to other whole animal proteins, it's relatively cheap per serving right? It's not cheap as one large lump-sum purchase
@@jake.alfred.fitness $30 per 20 servings of 25 grams of protein was wounded my wallet.
SARDINES!!! 🔥 🎉 💯 🎉 🔥
🐠
Had to like for sam wise gamjee
haha 💪😂
Protein powders expensive maybe a video on budget protein powders 🤞
Btw please like so he sees this
I'll do some thinking and make a video 😅 what country you in?
@@jake.alfred.fitness the usa, I have a very low income family and I'm 15
Tbh eggs can go on anything
so where are the cheap options?
Protein in general is a lot more expensive than other foods. These are RELATIVELY cheap options
@@jake.alfred.fitness ok man.
Lemon pepper Tuna your welcome guys ahhah
Preach
I love tuna
Tuna tastes really good!
I agree, but there are lots of tuna haters out there, so I hedged my bets in the comments
Skyr goes crazy
I can literally eat 100g of protein in one meal.. 3 scoops of protein powder shake and like 8oz of pasta.. literally 100g of protein right there lmao
I think spacing out your protein a bit more is more optimal.
But yes, you can easily hit your protein targets by using supplements intelligently 👌
@stormtrooper1484my best advice would be, save up for the biggger tubs, it’s more cheaper in the long run, that’s what I’m currently doing
@@apza120yes bulk but always. Even with eggs if you buy the big box of them it's cheaper per egg.
What about chicken or lean pork??
Also great options 💪
Pork is rubbish. Remember Pigs eat leftovers and can eat even shit, so eating them you basically eat all the crap
Ive gone off eggs i dunno why any explain? Lol
How is protein powder cheap?
Chicken is also super cheap it you think about it.
For sure
Cheapest protein source is liquid egg whites. $4 for 100g
Definitely a great option too
Yeah but it's like impossible to get over 100g of protein a day, and also keep calories under 1500.
100g of Protein is only 400kcal
Bro tuna tastes great without anything
Is low fat cheese ok ?
Yep. You could even do 0% fat cottage cheese
Tuna is great if you seasoned it
Man of culture 🫡
