Tired of breaking the bank on protein? Eat this….
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007We all know it takes calories, some serious calories, to gain muscle mass, especially if you’re a naturally skinny individual.
Now, I know for a fact that an extremely high amount of protein isn’t necessary to gain this kind of quality weight, like most bodybuilding and fitness magazines try to tell you (which also just so happens to be the same magazines and websites that are also selling protein shakes and bars….hmm, makes you think).
But, you do need some protein to help out the growth, recovery, and recuperation process.
However, what’s the best source of protein without forcing you to go out and get a bank loan to pay for it?
Well, some goods ones are chicken and low fat cottage cheese, at $0.04 per gram of protein. You’ve also got egg whites, at $0.05 per gram of protein.
However, the king of the cheap, but quality protein, is TUNA. Tuna comes out to $0.02 per gram of protein. Cheaper than that you can’t get! And especially in comparison to the latest whey-iso-tri-filtered-yada-yada powder.
