High-protein eating on a budget

You don't need pricey cuts or supplements to eat high-protein. With a few smart staples you can comfortably hit your target without overspending.

Best grams-per-dollar protein sources

• Eggs — cheap, versatile, and complete protein
• Canned tuna and beans — pantry-stable and inexpensive
• Chicken thighs — more protein per dollar than breasts
• Greek yogurt and cottage cheese — great for breakfasts and snacks
• Tofu, lentils, and dry beans — the cheapest protein by far

Spread protein across the day

It's easier (and cheaper) to hit a daily target by adding protein to every meal than by loading it all into dinner. A few eggs at breakfast and yogurt as a snack add up fast.

Let the plan do the math

Tracking grams by hand gets old. Grovio builds a high-protein week around your goal and budget, shows estimated macros on every meal, and hands you the grocery list — so you can hit your number without the spreadsheet.
