Now that you mention it, cottage cheese is a very versatile food. Thinking of it as a base. You can make a bowl with fruit on top. You can mix it with ketchup and maybe a bit of pasta. It can go sweet or salty or savory however you wish. And it's very dense, so you don't need a lot to make a serving.

Except that cottage cheese is really the same price as chicken... maybe it's just chalav yisroel but I just checked my grocery and it's $6.49 for 16 ounces.

I think chicken is really the best option as it has SO much protein per ounce. You can't get that much protein from eggs.

Didn't read whole thread but nuts are a really good source of protein and not cheap but less than chicken etc. And it's only a handful or so per servinf

Go vegetarian. Combine whole grains with legumes, nuts, or seeds, e.g. beans and rice, risi e bisi (rice and peas) bread and peanut butter, corn and lima beans. Each variety provides certain amino acids, and the combination yields a complete protein. (Soybeans and soy products like tofu and soy milk can stand alone as they provide a complete protein.) A bit of animal protein such as milk, egg, or a few bits of cheese, fish or meat amps up the protein but isn't necessary at every meal.

Search "vegan foods" for lists of food combinations that yield complete proteins. I listed a few but there are many more.

thats so interesting

Its only 4-6 g protein for serving of nuts vs 20-30 g of protein per serving of chicken.

Dani Spies is really into protein and has lots of interesting recipes. She wrote a cookb ook called Clean and Delicious.
