** Building Muscle on a Budget - 10 Cheap Protein Sources **

[Dukkit]

Beautiful... Ive been building muscle on a budget for years and most of these are my staples.


Id like to add in...

Oats
Natty Peanut Butter.

Cheap and have their place in muscle building. I use both everyday.

As for the shakes debate... they have their place.
And for someone who cant force feed themselves anymore or are hardgainers then by all means,
get those liquid calories in. They have been gold for me.
With my metabolism and frame... I need well over 5000 cals to gain any more solid weight.
While I love to eat, I cannot force feed that much whole food.
I add in a weight gainer for an extra 900 cals or so everytime I bulk. Works great.

But as stated... liquid calories are good, if they fit into your macros.

This is exactly what i'm talking about. You are eating an insane amount of calories - nobody can or would blame you for not getting all of that from whole foods. So, you SUPPLEMENT with shakes. However, i'm willing to bet my house that you're getting plenty from whole foods to begin with. Like I said before, adding shakes on top of sufficient whole food is fine IMO.

Exactly. And Im agreeing, you big sexy man you.
