Highest concentration of protein?
Hey guys
You may or may not know im attempting to shed some lbs at the mo! Its going good, ive lost 12lbs so far...
My problem is this, i dont have alot of money, my diet isnt too good. What i eat is usually ****.
What i wanna know is what food has the highest concentration of protein per lb? I know the usual, eggs, beef etc.
Is there a drink, or a certain food i can eat or drink that will load me up with protein? Also without hurting the weight loss too much.
Thanks in advance

Canned tuna bro....
It's vile but weight VS price VS protein it simply cannot be beat.
A 170g can of tuna has 38g of protein and costs around $1-2 depending on brand and quality (I am sure you can get it cheaper by the pallet in a big store like Asda).

hmmm for drinks the cheapest I've found is good old protein powder shakes bought in bulk... homemade drinks come out quite expensive...
My homemade protein shakes contain:
125mg egg whites (12.5g)
100mg firm cottage cheese (18.5g)
32mg prolab raspberry whey powder (22g)
1 teaspoon of sugar free raspberry jam
200mg skim milk (more or less depending how thick you like your shake)
It's absolutely delicious, has a great consistency (like a real milkshake), and gives ya at least 53g of good protein (without counting the milk).
But thats doesn't come cheap... the cottage cheese and the eggwhites are quite costly.

Well, a way to make tuna palatable is to simply drink it... (ok so I absolutely HATE tuna)
I put a can in the blender along with 1/2 litre of water... blend to a pulp and drink it... QUICKLY.
Some people also do the same thing with tomato juice or V8 veggy cocktail.

do you cook the egg whites before you blend them? I hear you can get salmonella otherwise.

Are you worried about the Carb content in the protein powder? If so..you could try Nectar by Syntrax. ASN sells it for a good price...and there's NO carbs and it comes in fruit flavors as opposed to the standard vanilla, etc. I have the lemonade and fuzzy naval and it's yummy.

1. Once a cheat always a cheat!

3. NO, PULLING out IS NOT a RELIABLE method of Birth Control. DAMMMMIT..... Wrap that shyte UP!!
Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.
What the mind can conceive....the body will achieve!

I LOVE fresh tuna, especially raw. I HATE canned tuna. The best way I have found to make it palatable is to make tuna melts. Split a couple of english muffins, cover with tuna, throw a slice of generic yellow cheese on top, along with a jalapeno slice and a pickle slice, and throw in the oven for a bit, to crisp up the muffin and melt/toast the cheese. Not too bad. Experiment with different recipes for tuna salad. Extra onions and pickles seems to help. Try ranch dressing instead of mayo. Try eating with those flavored ramen noodles you get 7 for $1 at the grocery.
I would not make tuna the focal point of a high protein diet. The mercury, you know. I would not eat tuna every day for any length of time.
Go fishing. Fish is free, if you catch your own bait. You don't need a boat. You don't need expensive gear. A string, a hook, and a weight or float and you are set. Trap squirrels if you can't hunt them. Or rabbits. Clams or oysters if you are on the coast. Ditto shrimp or lobsters or crabs, with a bit more equipment.
Watch for the 10 lb bags of frozen chicken parts. Sometimes these go for like 39 cents a pound. Thaw in the refrigerator, not at room temp, and just enough to be able to break them apart into manageable amounts, like maybe two or three quarters in a package, then re-freeze. Don't let them thaw out any more than you have to, or you have an elevated risk of getting salmonella or something. Chicken can be really really cheap, bought in bulk like that. If you pull the skin off, you have a pretty healthy protein source. Make soup with the bones and scraps. Chicken broth is good stuff. Turkey is cheap if you watch for sales. Cut that sucker into quarters and freeze. Thaw one out and cook it however you want. Deep-fry, soup/stew, barbecue, roast/broil, whatever blows your skirt up. Be sure it cooks all the way through.
Watch for cheap canned meats on sale. Canned chicken or beef can be cheap if you watch closely for sales, or look for the bargain basket with the dented cans or torn labels.
Of course, there is always cannibalism...
