The Table of Contents for Our Lives The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. (Proverbs 18:21) In a sense, the words that we speak are the table of contents for our lives. What we say gives away who we really are. Jesus said, “For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart” (Matthew 12:34-35) The Bible also tells us, “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences” (Proverbs 18:21) Christians who never would consider murder can be guilty of character assassination and backbiting. Yet the Bible warns about this and tells us that it’s wrong. Our words can hurt others. In 1 Peter 3:10 we read, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies” Words can chart the course of our lives. Saying “I do” means marriage for life, or at least it should. Saying “I won’t” to the offer of drugs, alcohol, and premarital or extramarital sex will free us from a lot of misery and the consequences of sin. And saying “I will” to the offer of forgiveness from Jesus Christ will change our eternal destiny. James points out, “We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. . . . In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire” (3:3, 5) God did not give us vocal cords, a tongue, and lips to tear down and destroy others. Rather, He gave them to us so we can build up others, speak the truth, and worship Him. The highest use of our words is to offer them in praise and honor to God.

One warning about tuna - watch your mercury consumption. I had a phase where canned tuna became my main protein in my meal prep, to the point where I was consuming 4 cans a day. And then a friend pointed out mercury, and I did my research and you’re only supposed to have like 2 cans a week😂😂 so just be careful with consuming too much (also goes for other fish like salmon, but tuna is generally worse)

[@MyCompAndGadgetHacks]

Not usually a problem if you choose light tuna like skipjack also tuna contains selenium which binds to mercury. Sardines and salmon are generally a good alternative to tuna.

Exactly! Anyone saying it's "too expensive" to eat healthy is just gonna say it takes too much time, they don't have the equipment, they can't eat those foods, and they can't cook at all.

[@abimbolayt]

@@strike.22 I see in my opinion I feel like $70 a week/ $300 a month (x52, /12) is a bit too much for just one person. But groceries might be more expensive where you guys live. In the UK I could do my weekly shop for probably under £50 (that’s being generous).

@@abimbolayt I do. I only value having a different dinner every other day. The rest I purely eat for protein/low calorie meals. €9,50/day sounds expensive, but I'm in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and only spend a little above the national average of €7,90/day. However, my salary is far above the average person (almost 1,5x). So it's not like I notice spending €300/month on food for myself. Food is barely 10-15% of my total monthly costs.

So I did the math for my country. 500g of chicken breast is around 155g of protein. 4 eggs are about 25g of protein. Together coming in at a total of 180g of protein. In Belgium a kilo of chicken is about €3.5 euros and one egg is €0.30, so if you buy around 3.5kg’s of chicken a week and 28 eggs a week (measured from the amount of protein per day). This calculates down to about €12.25 a week for the chicken and around €8.50 for the eggs, giving you a total of €20.75 a week, or just about €3 euro’s a day. You can grind the chicken down and mix the eggs to make patties, add them between nutrient dense buns to get the carbs and cook the patties in high quality fats to get your fats (ofcourse you wouldn’t be eating chicken burgers every day, but if you did it would be that easy)

What I sometimes eat for breakfast or dinner: 2 slices of protein bread with "Harzer Käse" or "Handkäse" (literally translated as "Harzer Cheese" and "Hand cheese"). They're low fat/high protein cheeses and pretty commonly available here in Germany. Basically every supermarket has them. The bread has 21.5g of protein per 100g. 2 slices are ~110g so the bread has ~23g of protein. I put 100g of the cheese on EACH slice. 100g of that cheese have ~120Kcal and 30g of protein. So these 2 slices of protein bread with this cheese amount to 83g of protein. Price? A 200g pack of the cheese costs 1.79€ to 1.99€ (incl. 19% VAT) and the bread is 1.99€ for 500g (9 slices). So the bread cost like 0.50€. So total price: 2.30€ to 2.50€ for 83g of protein.

Then, I discovered a game-changer, Alpino Rolled Oats and it's peanut butter. This combo is a dream, it's packed with high protein to keep me feeling full and help me build muscle, plus tons of fiber to maintain my weight. But the best part is this is unbelievably delicious!

Then to fill the void of the leftover calories a bunch of lean cuisines, random frozen aisle stuff, cheap street tacos, chicken tacos from Taco Bell/del taco, value menu burgers, nothing that’ll break the wallet and is macro friendly (mind the sodium intake with the frozen meals if u have health issues) Also That subway hack is a great idea.

Don’t eat too much fish look up how much fish you can eat. Bioaccumulation of mercury is terrible for mental health

First 2 is hella expensive in Turkey. Cheapest Subway wraps are around the price of 350gr minced beef meat.

What first worlders call cheap is more than a week of minimum wage for a 3rd worlder

[@pradhumansharma9770]

My cheap version of 150g protien; 5 eggs scrambled:25rs(with salt) Lunch: 1 roti, 50Rs worth Chicken breast(200gms) 1L of 1% fat milk:42Rs Dinner:1roti,20-30gm soya chunks cooked. 1kg soya chunks packet costs 200Rs. 100Rs> everyday aka around 1 US dollar

Tuna in brine is amazing, because unlike in sunflower oil, I don't need to worry about my beard smelling like the sea for a week after downing 2 cans in one sitting.

Iceland has ready to eat chicken breast slices (plain, tikka or sweet chilli)- 180g pack, 46g of protein per pack- So easy to eat 2 of those and it's only £1.69 each . Aldi Protein yogurt: 64g of protein for the 450g pot - super easy to eat and costs £1.49

[@Tyndaal604]

1: Protein powder. 2: Eggs. 3: Minced beef or cheap steaks. 4: Fish fingers. 5: Protein yogurts. 6: Frozen chicken legs, make friends with 'em.

[@TheCecchino98]

If you like them, canned sardines are cheaper than tuna (at least where i live) and probably healthier. Adding legumes to grains compensates their amino acidic profile meaning you get more protein out of them, and they are also usually cheap. I would also add greek yoghurt and cottage cheese.

[@ninjalionddhogan4060]

I love tuna a lot. The sad thing about tuna is that it has a large amount of heavy metals like mercury, so it isn't the safest in insanely large amounts, but it is still a great source of protein

[@maryamtehrani7629]

Another thing I'd like to mention for the vegans/people who don't eat much meat or dairy or just anyone who wants cheap af protein- Seitan is your best friend. You can get around 800-900g of Seitan from 2kg of flour, which costs me around 4 eur max. 71g of protein per 100g of Seitan. Super versatile, a little bit of effort to make it or you could just buy it at an Asian supermarket.😊

The problem with hitting a high amount of protein IF you do not have a lot of budget for food is that you spend all your money to get your nutrition in order in but then it’s very bland because everything with decent protein is expensive and you have to compensate with stuff that has a lot of protein but does not taste great. I can hit up to 220g of protein ( luckily I only need 180g ) but boy does my enjoyment of my own diet take a hit if I do. For context, I currently weigh roughly 187lbs ( pretty exactly 85 kg) at 6ft ( 184cm ) with my current goal being to hit 90kg ( 198lbs ) again and maybe afterwards inch towards 95kg ( 209lbs ). I rely heavily on dairy products to make it work which altogether can account for up to 100g, add eggs and ham for an additional 40g, some protein powder ( 20g ) and finally 30g from high protein bread. It’s not bad but it leaves little room for experiments because this is literally the cheapest combination I could come up with.

[@haihuynh9017]

2 fairlife protein = 3.5$ = 60g protein. Panda Express 10.81$ - 3x chicken with half veggies half chow mein = 100g protein. And tasty

Skim milk custard is super cheap to make and has great specs. Frozen fish fillets are amazing, and (in aus) INC brand WPI is amazingly priced on special and shelf stable

[@reddrift3022]

Subway platter plates are exppensive. I try to make meals $1-1.50/1000kj and subway platters on the low end is $5/1000kj. But one thing I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend is Seacrown Sardines from Coles. One can is 90c and is 600kj with 20g of protein and 1.9g of Omega 3 of which it has the optimal ratio of 2 to 1 DHA to EPA and very little ALA (the precursor that is far less efficient). And since its a small fish, way less heavy metals. Beyond insane value. It can't be just any sardines either, most have nowhere near the omega 3 amount, calorie to cost value or protein amount. Cannot recommend enough.

[@johnmikolajczyk]

I don’t know what the common meat is for Aussies but in North America ground turkey is dirt cheap and enough spices will make it decent

[@pooblock4092]

First two are horrible. Don’t eat tuna every day, and definitely don’t buy those dumb wraps.

[@Camachosky]

why

[@Camachosky]

i know the tuna but whats up with the wraps

[@TheGalekGames]

Something i find HIGHLY under rated are kidney beans, they have the same amount of protein as Beef and are like 1$ a can... Ofc you gotta find a good recipe but they are cheap and amazing

[@siroshcelot]

Bro looks like his eyes are going to melt off

[@EhurtAfy]

If truly strapped for cash, nothing cheaper than skim/nonfat milk, whey protein, and chicken/turkey. You can get almost 150 grams from a 3$ gallon of milk

[@themostcreativenameever2688]

Tuna straight from can is good as a late night snack but it u have a chance get some spicy mayo with sesame oil and seeds and seaweed flake rice with slight bit of vinegar and make rice ball with them they go pretty hard

[@elfr3032]

You also want to be careful of eating too much tuna because tuna has mercury in them eating tuna won’t harm you but eating too much of it can

[@salihmsa7530]

when i was heavily into strength training, going to the gym everyday, i’d by mixing 1-2 scoops of protein powder and milk. between the protein for muscles and calcium to make my bones feel tough as rocks, i felt great

[@ChroniclesOfFastCool]

Tuna and other fish are pretty expensive for the amount of protein you get. If you really want to budget I would just get yogurt and beans as a cheap option to supplement different meals with protein

[@babacheif]

Eggs,Chicken,Bison,Fish is my go too atm.White rice has a little 7.2% cooked,gram for gram better then pasta,avoid brown rice it blocks some nutrients and irritates your intestines.If you do have bread I love beans on toast,don’t even need margarine.

[@beboysub]

that's actually dope

[@jordenbadslipper8498]

Canned tuna is hella expensive over here 4€ for 100 grams is a robbery

[@UnknownNotFound630]

A subway wrap platter is like $75 usd you could cook it yourself for way cheaper Edit it’s actually $84 +/- without tax or delivery if you get that

[@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594]

The subway platter is genius

[@kvltizt]

cans of tuna with eggs mixed in is my staple protein snack. easy, cheap, effective
