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

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.
