    If we’re talking breakfast: 2 eggs, 1/4 cup egg whites, 2 oz breakfast sausage and a dollop of heavy cream.

    Brown sausage over medium heat with a bit of oil or butter. Whip eggs, whites and cream together and add to pan with browned sausage. Finish with shredded mild cheddar cheese (optional). If you get it in a block it’s cheaper and melts better.

    This comes out to around $2 a meal and nets 54 grams of protein if consumed with a glass of milk.

    If you’re into Kombucha or Kefir, drink a glass 30-45 minutes after a meal like this. No, scratch that. I forgot probiotics feed on carbs, so if you’re a rice eater or cereal for that matter – take your probiotics, preferably from food or beverage, after a carb heavy meal.

        I wish I liked boiled eggs, they’re a great source of protein. I used to work demolition with a guy that popped them like Pringles.

          Not just protein, also tons of vitamins and healthy unsaturated fats. They have to feed a chick for 21 days before it hatches, so it’s only natural that they are rich in nutrients

      Just eat cookies. Fat, sugar and flour with an egg or two. Cheap and delicious with a shitload of calories.
