Im moving back onto a college campus soon, and I want my room to be STOCKED with high protein/inexpensive foods. Also, im not sure if I can fit my protein powder into my budget this semester, which pisses me off. If you know of a very inexpensive brand let me know. All I give a shit about is the protein content. So far my ideas are tuna and different kinds of nuts. Will have a minifridge by the way. Will rep informative answers.
Eggs - like $1.69 for a dozen canned black beans - 1$ pack of tuna - 1$ Milk isn't too cheap but you can make it last a while Off brand mac n cheese - 50 cents Peanut butter - $2.50 - $3.50
tuna is cheap and always a last resort for quality protein. 57 cents for 25 grams of protein. same goes for canned chicken breast. cottage cheese is a big staple of mine as well. some whey protein powders are cheap too.

I used to take canned chicken mix whey, cheese, beans together.. Delicious and super protein.
OP Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein by Optimum: Bodybuilding.com - Lowest Prices! I recommend banana, or coffee. Mocha is good too
[quote name='"Wildman850"'] Did you blend all that shit together at once? You're a fucking SAVAGE, man![/quote] Fuck ya dude, mix it all up and heat up eat with fork.. Or if it's a carb day each on chips or on shells like taco.. It's good shit.. Lol
Thanks, but I have something similar right now. Dymatize powder. Similar price. Im trying to see if I can remove that from my budget, or find a significantly cheaper protein. Whey the fuck is the powder so expensive? see wat i did there

Now I just eat a protein with every meal and i'm good.
Yeah I eat plenty of protein, it's just convenient to drink 50-60 grams real quick in addition. Ill probably go without and just stock up on tuna, eggs, and milk.
You can consider natural high protein foods instead of brands. Egg, Mushroom, Peas, Chickpeas and spinach are some good natural sources of protein. But if you are thinking about some bran canned tune would be better. Dundee Fitness Trainer
