Unfortunately, protein-heavy items tend to be the most costly. But, fear not! Here are a few food items that are chock full of protein and do not break the bank.
Tuna: Perhaps the cheapest of them all, a single can of tuna contains more than forty grams of protein. The best part about this is that a can won’t set you back more than a buck.
Beans and Lentils: A can of these, which cost no more than a dollar and a half, are packed with protein. In fact, each can contains about forty-five grams of this vital macronutrient.
Eggs: A case of dozen eggs yields more than seventy grams of protein, and costs less than $2. Eggs are also a great asset as you can prepare and serve them in a number of different ways.
Cottage Cheese: Nearly 50 grams of protein are packed into a single container of this stuff, and it will only set you back a dollar or two.
Greek Yogurt: Not only is this stuff delicious, Greek Yogurt contains high levels of protein. If you do the math, you are consuming about twenty one grams of protein for every dollar you spend on this item.

Under the Radar Tips to End Overeating
On his personal blog, Josh Bezoni outlines 7 under the radar ways to stop your behavior of overeating. This blog is for those people who are hoping to revamp their dieting efforts after overeating or eating too much candy or dessert.
Josh believes that it takes about one week, on average, for men and women to fully rehabilitate from the addictive nature of the artificial food that is far too common in today’s supermarkets. Here are a few tips that you should employ over the next week to be back on track.
Try to remove, or at least limit, the seven additives that cause obesity from your diet. These include excess salt, sugars, high fructose corn syrup, too much alcohol, saturated fats, and MSG. Some people find it incredibly difficult to go “cold turkey” on these habits so it may be beneficial to try to reduce one’s intake on a daily basis.
Opt for Healthier choices. Craving sugar and obesity additives is inevitable. Try to stifle this urge for a giant candy bar and choose an anti-oxidant heavy square of chocolate. In lieu of a jumbo soda, you should opt for a some sort of refreshing tea.
Be Active. Josh Beznoi believes the most effective way to reduce this food addiction is exercise. First off, the act of exercise causes a release of endorphins. If you haven’t been active in quite a while, it may be good to try to begin by walking for 30 or 60 minutes at a time.
Find to catch some sleep: Without the proper amount of rest, no one can be expected to stay disciplined in their exercise regimen and diet.
Discover a Catalyst for Change. If you are unable to convince yourself that there is a powerful reason that you need to change your lifestyle, any diet will likely fail. Perhaps you use an upcoming event such as a wedding or holiday as motivation. It will be different for everyone, but make sure you pinpoint some sort of motivation.

Four Foods to Consume Before Sleeping
You have probably read that food before bed is something to absolutely avoid, especially if you are trying to lose weight. However, not all food should be categorized as off-limits after dinner. Consumption of certain foods actually can help boost your weight loss efforts. Here is a quick guide to help you healthily navigate through late night food choices.
It is important that you avoid consuming carbohydrates before bedtime. Instead, opt for slow-digesting protein that will supply you with a consistent source of amino acids while you sleeping.
Green Vegetables: While not necessarily a protein, green vegetables are a great late night snacking option as they are filling, contain high-levels of fiber, and lack calories.
White Meat Protein: Turkey and Chicken, the white variety of meat, can be a great food to eat before bed. These foods tend to digest slowly and boasts a low insulin response.
A Low-Carb, and Slow Digesting Protein Shake: Be sure to stay away from simple whey powder prior to sleeping as studies have determined it causes a very high insulin release. Instead, you should opt for a time-released blend. Plus, it serves as a sort of desert for those with a sweet-tooth.
Cottage Cheese: Not only is cottage cheese digest slowly, but it also coats the stomach in a manner that causes it to be assimilated slowly by the body. While this is a great choice, you have to be certain to stay away from the flavored options that come with a surplus of sugar.
