Since it's not cheap to eat quality foods, I thought I'd take a moment to list out how much (price per 10 grams) it costs for specific protein selections. A chart I found in the latest edition of Men's Health magazine listed the following selections:
- Black Beans- 13 cents
- Turkey- 14 cents
- Chicken breast- 24 cents
- Eggs- 26 cents
- Ground beef- 34 cents
If you take an individual who needs 100 grams of protein/day, it'd cost them $2.22 in protein per day based on incorporation of the above sources. If you pair that with some good quality fiber sources and unsaturated fats, you've got yourself a good nutrition program that doesn't actually cost a fortune.
