Protein Foods - Protein shakes, protein waffles, protein yogurt, protein bars etc.

These aren't bad at all. I prefer eggs, meat, and a bit of fruit for breakfast but I do keep some mix around if I want something a bit different.

Unless you have to mix it your shakes outside the house, use an immersion blender. That's what I do and it's far superior to any other method I used previously.

I bet if one needs a quick meal/snack these on a little bit of rice with some seasoning would be excellent.

I'm curious about this. Please share the dry ingredient amounts you're using.

I don't measure lol. Just dump enough flour and maybe a tea spoon of baking powder to make whatever pancake batter consistency I think is right.

@Opal Mermaid Have you tried looking into tofu sheets? They're extra firm tofu pressed into thin sheets you could cut into noodles as a replacement.

No joke, I didn't even have to eat much to get nerve damage. Never again!

I'm no specimen of health but you niggas should try roasted chickpeas as a snack food instead of some of the nonsense posted.

If you look at the ingredients of something like "Protein pancake mix" or "protein (x)" like the ones listed in the OP it is usually whey protein, milk protein or soy protein isolate added to whatever the underlying food item is. It's much cheaper just to buy whey protein directly and add it to whatever recipe you want. You can get unflavored whey protein for much cheaper than buying preprocessed food products like this.

Here are some of my contributions that may or may not be viable depending on your diet and budget:

Chicken gizzards. Crazy high protein, super cheap (local store has them for $1.50 a pound), and really easy to cook. Just toss in a slow cooker with some water and a small amount of fat (I use butter) and let it cook overnight/while at work. Can make a stew or just simmer them and eat them as is with whatever spices or condiments you want.

People have mentioned yogurt, but I am partial to the yogurt drinks from companies like Chobani. They have a no sugar added, 20 gram, 150 kcal drink that's nice and convenient, though a bit pricier than just getting a big jug of greek yogurt. $2.50 a pop at my local shop.

Fairlife milk. Ultraprocessed, a little pricey, but double the protein of milk while also being lactose free and easy to digest. Not a fan of whey protein so I find this preferable for a quick protein boost. About 5 bucks for 2/3 or so of a gallon.

Beans, more as a carrier for higher protein lean meats than anything else. A go to poorfag protein meal I used to make a lot was a can of seasoned black beans, a tin of inexpensive smoked sardines (or any canned fish), and some spicy salsa. This morning I had refried beans and a few eggs in it with sour cream and tomatoes. Diced pork chops are a good add too.

Extra firm tofu. I like to make light vegetable soups in the mornings sometimes and I will dice and toss in a good deal of tofu after it's done cooking. Don't drain or press or anything, just toss it in the hot water right after I turn the heat off. You can use as much or as little as you want, but I use plenty since a pound is usually a couple of bucks at the store.

I'm partial to frying gizzards, probably not as good for you, but definitely more tasty.

Might sound a bit strange but my go to when I want high protein and low fat and carbs is octopus tentacle. Can't speak for how easy that is to get in alot of places, but I mean the pre parboiled sushi grade stuff thats ready to eat and frozen for sale. All you have to do is cut a few inches of it off and leave it in the fridge overnight to thaw and its ready to eat. Its pretty good, not rubbery like alot of people seem to think it is (that happens if its overcooked) and its easy to slice up into bite sized pieces or to add to other things. It can be nice in salads just sprinkled on top, added to chowders or just mixed into a bowl of rice for a quick meal and some carbs. Speaking of rice, a bowl of hot rice with very ripe avocado mashed up and stirred in will melt into the rice and can be a decent high protein meal. Prefer it that way to having it on toast tbh

But yeah, I highly recommend octopus, but the sushi grade stuff thats already cooked and ready to eat after its thawed, not just buying a whole one and having to clean and cook it yourself. There isn't really enough to those ones anyway to be worth it. High school coach put me on to it back in BC, he recommended it to his wrestling team as well as an easy source of protein (its also easy to get and pretty cheap in BC as there are alot of sushi supply stores that sell to the public and you can buy it in large chunks or by the tentacle)

I picked up store brand peanut butter powder on clearance, which is peanut butter with most of the fat and sugar removed, and turned it into a basic peanut sauce for chicken w/ rice.

Besides Kodiak, skyr, and more meat/eggs, I also recommend the Fairlife Core Power protein shakes, an ultra-fortified milk with Vit D3 and lactase. They do have carrageenan, sucralose and stevia leaf extract but some kinds have 42g of protein. They'd make a good ingredient in actual protein shakes.

The 42g version taste pretty good. Downside is they are fucking expensive at $3-4 per bottle.

No Costco near me but the Walmart rotisserie chicken at from the one near me is very hit and miss. Some days they're alright other days they didn't cook them long enough or at high enough temp so parts of it aren't done.

Canned Chicken is fantastic
comes precooked, in its own can, you can drain it and toss it in the air fryer to brown it, enjoy with your favorite sauce if you dont give a shit about calories or hot sauce if you do
small cans are usually about 20gs of protein, larger ones are about double that and theyre anywhere from 100-300 calories so theyre just all around great
chickens are just fucking awesome
i did the math too and between Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, whole food, costco and Target, Targets good and gather canned chicken is the best in terms of dollar per gram of protein
