I think it’s important to not get sucked into thinking we need more protein than required. I’ve found Quark, Greek yogurt and cottage cheese good options to boost intake. Recently been using some of the protein pasta made from pea or red lentil help supplement meat.
@@Paul9 These are all great cost effective options to boost protein intake. I also like to eat peas and lentils in recipes. As I mentioned in the vid I also like to use tinned fish as well which is pretty reasonable. I agree most of us don’t need a huge amount of protein to get results. Thanks so much for your insights
If you want to save money and eat healthy - grow your own vegetables. It's satisfying, too. You can even grow things just in a wheelbarrow if you're pushed for space.
Lots of people going through this. For me just a few basic supplements instead of many . Now just buying one whey protein and creatine instead of multiple. Actually protein supplements are not really necessary, its just for convenience and variety. Also have an Omelette with 2 or 3 eggs instead of 6 egg Omelette...
yes it's such a shame because this is an area of your life you should be able to afford the best. I have sacked all supps except creatine and my daily dose of vit D, zinc, Vit C, b vits and magnesium. These work out pretty reasonable over 3 months. I have also downgraded to Pure Gym in the UK, 23.99 per month. They are pretty soulless but enough equipment to get the job done. My location is getting busier every week :( . Thanks for your comment.
lambs liver is cheap, if you can stomach it! full of nutrition.I have it once a week for less than £2 i get enough for me and my cat as his iron is low.
Was never a massive fan of the taste but i know it is packed full of nutrients. Maybe I will start adding to stews or other dishes to boost protein levels. Thanks for your comment
@@midlanderwbaboothy7068 all good choices and yes getting rid of booze or cutting well back will free up some spend. I’m almost off the drink now just the odd glass of red if needed.
Tin tuna Tins of makrel Eggs Bulk buying chicken brests ,i pay £25 for 5 kilo of fresh chicken breasts Also matrix do 5kg of protein powder for £40 Which is a HUGE tub I hit my 150 g of protirn a day for less than 50 quid a week eaisly As eat rice woth most meals and veg
@@boyasaka great advice thanks. Where do u get the chicken? I also like sardines and salmon in the tin. My carbs are generally rice, sweet and white potatoes and oatmeal which are all pretty cheap. With a little thought and organisation you can eat really well on a tight budget.
@@nevertoolateuk yes Prep and batch cooking is key I make half a dozen meals and box them up on a Sunday and then same again Wednesday Rice chicken and veg with a bit sauce on top Or maybe switch the rice for potatoes , Breakfast is Cheap Oats with protein powder in it’s also good if you have allotments nearby and can get eggs off the guys who keep chickens I get lots of eggs for free and sometimes pay £1.50 for a dozen ,

Chicken and Lentil soup is another high protein low cost food and can be portioned into tubs and froze!
Yes love lentils and they are very filling as well.

@@elijaprice that always sounds appealing but I’m not quite ready for going all in to do this. Definitely one day.
