How do you guys eat enough protein on a budget?

I’m a student and chicken breast, whey, and Greek yogurt add up fast. What are your cheap high-protein staples? Eggs, canned tuna, tofu? Would love some meal ideas that don’t take an hour to prep

eggs, chicken thighs, canned tuna, and greek yogurt carry me. buying chicken in bulk and freezing it cut my grocery bill a lot. whey is usually cheaper per gram of protein than most real food, so i just use it to fill the gap.

Eggs are the easy one. Six grams each and they cook in five minutes.

The real time saver is cooking a big batch of rice and one protein on Sunday and just changing the sauce through the week. A slow cooker thread on here made me think of that.

Eggs are the MVP!
