Value chicken, eggs, own brand tuna is what i'm going to be stocking up on. Are there any other relatively high protein sources that a skint student could live off? Gonna get a large sack of rice for the carb source.

Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230 530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 24.09.2012 @ 13:43 PM by MattD90 Another good cheap carb source is oats, which contain a bit of protein too if you eat alot of them. Gotta be a staple in a student bulking diet i would have thought

Cheaper and have more taste than the breast meat. Beans is another cheap food with some protein in. A little high on the sugar carbs, but no worse than the beer

really really interesting Member 3474, 2816 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 260 550.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	In the same boat as you mate, here's my recommendations based on what I ate all last year. Oats (myprotein do 5kg for a tenner and they last forever!) Tesco frozen chicken breasts (£4 for a kg, just chuck em in the fridge when you get em I eat them in 2-3 days) Aldi tuna (50p a can, can't go wrong with that) Milk (aldi do 4 pints for a quid. Tesco do the same but usually 2 for £2 but works out the same) Aldi super noodles (s**t if you're on a strict diet but each pack is 4-500kcal and fills a nice hole) Steaks (tesco market value Irish beef frying steak I think it's called, ~500g of steak for like £2.50, lob that in the george foreman tasty!) Pasta (tesco value penne, fluctuates between 9 and 45p per 500g, either way, cheaper than aldi's 50p bag. Catch it when it's dirt cheap tho, it always goes quickly!)

'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235 555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	Aldi corned beef, 1.99 per tin, 88g of protein. 4 pints of milk is about the same protein but only 1 quid
