-Tyson Bonesless Skinless Chicken Thighs- 110/20/0/4
Quite a bit cheaper than chicken breasts. If you buy another brand make sure they're as lean as these.
-Tyson Chicken Gizzards & Hearts- 70/16/0/1
Might be too weird for some people but this stuff is cheaper than Tuna!
-Canned Chicken- 80/15/0/2
If you find the cheap stuff($1/can), they're about the same price as chicken breasts, but more convenient.
-Light String Cheese- 60/9/0/2
A little cheaper than cottage cheese. Great snack on the go.
-Dry Skim Milk Powder- 80/8/12/0
Slightly cheaper protein source than whey and you get a bunch of free carbs with it. Also keeps me from hauling quite so many gallons of milk home from the grocery store every week.
-Chocolate Skim Milk- 140/8/27/0
Make sure you get the stuff with real sugar, not splenda. I wouldn't say it's good for you. It's basically for teenagers or anyone else that wants to buy a commercial weight gainer. Mix 16oz of this with a scoop of whey and eat a banana with it (easy 500 cals).
-Rye or Pumpernickel Bread- 80/2/13/1.5
Most have a lower GI than wheat bread.
-Beans(kidney, black, baked, refried, chili)- 120/7/20/1(avg)
Very dense carb source with fiber and a fair amount of protein. Dried beans are the cheapest but they require more work than canned.
-Sweet Green Peas- 110/6/19/1
I use canned Allen's brand. I think peas are overlooked as just another green vegetable, but they're also a dense carb source with fiber and some protein.
-Dried Plums(prunes)- 110/1/26/0
Very dense, nutrient packed carb source. One of the healthiest kinds of fruit and you don't have to worry about them going bad. Another good snack on the go.
Now you guys post some.:cheers:
