Oats, chicken or tuna, and PB are inexpensive. You have to eat 6-7 times a day if you don't want to lose muscle mass. Eating all protein is bad and I suspect the protein sources that you are eating are probably high in fat as well if they aren't clean. Read the stickies and post a diet with macros and then watch the fat peal away!
