Eggs
You know eggs have protein but have you truly run the numbers on this magical food? One large egg yields six grams of protein, so three yield 18 grams, which is enough for a meal. You can get an 18-pack of eggs for around four dollars, which will make you six of those three-egg meals. That’s six entrée-size servings of protein for around four dollars, making each one around 66 cents. That’s about the cheapest protein you can get. And you know you can make things like egg salad, deviled eggs, omelets, eggs benedict, scrambles, egg tacos, eggs in a hole, egg quesadillas…the list goes on.
