Low budget spending is hard to come by in Malaysia but cooking the food yourself will be the biggest money saving method.

I would say that it is not that hard to cook by yourself and learn to cook in huge amount. Before this, I would cook porridge for 8 servings and store it in the fridge. Whenever I need to eat, I just reheat em. Same goes to my Spaghetti Meatball.

1. I also find that whey protein is the cheapest source of protein.
- But we can't be depending solely on shakes for our protein source.

2. Canned tuna isnt exactly cheap. - 1 can Olive Oil Lite whether ayam brand or the w/e boi brand is like RM5.00 a can.

3. Multivites & EFA are great to supplement all the missing daily requirements. so no need to food hunt for the micronutrients. Only have to worry about the macros.

4. I find eggs the cheapest, easiest to down type of protein.

5. So, in conclusion, I am guessing this is the most budget friendly and sensible protein macro:
a. Caseine
b. Whey (or up it to isolate)
c. Eggs (6-10 large per day)
d. 1 to 2 meals with a piece of meat (cheapest will be chicken breast, followed by beef and fish)

6. To fulfill calories, I scream... i mean, Ice Cream. biggrin.gif

-- my 2 cents if I were to hit it at a constrained budget. I would think staying lean is easier than getting big while on a budget, but then again, I am blessed enough to never cross this path yet biggrin.gif

Well I agreed on most of these points but I do have something to add:

1. You can get a can of Tuna for RM 2.65. The BlueBay Shredded Tuna sells for this price. Or NHK do sells 1.85KG tuna for RM 26. Olive Oil Tuna is surely not a cheap budget food biggrin.gif
2. Caseine and Whey, eventhough it gives a good amount of protein, both combination + a multivits is considered too much for Uni student (that's what I faced during my uni years).
3. Eggs, this is the main ingredient for budget food. Hate it or Love it thumbup.gif

haha. pretty sure the eggs were on sale though tongue.gif most of the comments say the 99cents/dozen eggs is ridiculously cheap. But im sure most of us are not 240+lbs of muscle and therefore dont need THAT much food per week.

The cheapest eggs that I can get is RM 4.29 for a dozen but those eggs come with 8.5g protein per egg where normal eggs are at 6g protein.
