best sources of protein?

hartsoup Posts: 51 Joined: 2003/03/13	2003/03/21, 02:12 AM Since I can't really afford to throw $50 towards protein shakes, I'm looking for high protein, low carb, low fat foods that I can eat. So far I've been cooking chicken breast, tuna/salmon, milk and cottage cheese to get protein. What other foods do you guys suggest I take for high protein?

These will also count for your carbs also (good carbs) around 40grams per cup. And if you are interested in the grams of protien you are looking at 14-18 grams per cup. So a bean salad here is the way to go. -------------- Peace on earth Ivan Montreal Canada

You'll have enough meat to last you a month and will cost you a fraction of what it would cost to buy all that meat at a store. Taste mighty good too, better than beer! I love it!
