Total Cost of Meal:- 35–40 ₹

So This is our cheap, tasty, and super protein-rich meal plan.

Let’s take a look at the total cost and protein amount of this meal plan.

Total Cost = 40 + 10 + 30

= 80₹

Total Protein = 25 + 55 + 35

You can see getting a high protein, tasty meal is not very expensive. You can have a protein rich meal/ diet in a budget as well.

Note:- I’m not saying to eat the exact same meals every day. of course, no one can eat the same for every day. That will create some other issues. This meal plan is just to give an idea about “How you can manage a good protein-rich diet with the ingredients available in your kitchen”.
