Protein does not have to be expensive. It become expensive if you;
1) Use it as a fuel because you dont eat enough fat, carbohydrates or total calories
2) Use supplements when they are not needed

Try to break your meals into 3 main and 2 snacks and 1 post workout drink. Another option is 3 meals and 3 snacks or even 3 meals and 3 supplement drinks.

If you want a protein supplement look for a whey protein concentrate NOT isolate but a mix of both would be fine. Also a calcium casinate would be ok as well. They should be some of the cheapest. Do NOT get a mix with carbohydrates or extra supplements i.e. creatine. Very rarely is the extras at either;
1) A correct i.e. effective dose
2) Effectively suspended in the mix
3) Of excellent quality when compared to quality if bought seperately

To add your own carbohydrates you can simply go to a keg/home brew shop and purchase some dextrose. This is very fine sugar and mixes very easily with a handshaker.

When at home you can simply use other things like ice-cream, yoghurt, espresso, peanut butter etc ... to add to your drink with a blender to take it to the next level.

Let us all know how it goes.
