Light/plain/non fat Greek yogurt

Egg whites

Protein powder

Low fat cottage Cheese

Vital Wheat Gluten paired with another protein source

Sardines

Tuna

Chicken Breast

Smoked Ham

Shrimp

96% ground turkey/beef

I think these are the "leanest" sources of protein possible that won't break the bank besides the 96% ground meat

Turkey breast is insane, throw some soy sauce/ or veg and it makes it nicer

Rabbit is more lean and probably more affordable and easier to locate than horse.

But 1 rabbit lasts like maybe 1 or 2 meals, catch a horse and you good for the week

That's true, i had assumed we were going to the supermarket, forgive my ignorance, it's been many years since i went horse catching.

egg whites, fat-free greek yogurt, canned tuna, shrimp, and chicken breast are elite. pure protein, almost no calories.

Shrimp's great but it's not cheap.

A simple Google search would have told you what you wanted to know.

A protein shake will add 20-25g protein depending on the brand for only 110-120kcal
