Too many options without a time frame.

But since most people get paid twice a month, I'm going to assume this has to last me two weeks.

>pork
Pic related is today's sale paper. Currently cheaper than chicken, and in my opinion, far more flavorful and forgiving to cook.

That's ten pounds of meat for $8.80. Not bad. 8 oz. of meat a day should be enough.

>rice
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Long-Grain-Enriched-Rice-20-Lb/10315883

$8.92 for 20 lbs.

>collard greens
You can fill up a stock pot for just a few dollars. Ham hocks are nice, but you can do just salt, red crushed pepper, and vinegar.

$3

>bananas
You can get three pounds for $1.50 last time I checked. Prices seem to be year round.

>peanut butter
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Jif-Creamy-Family-Size-Peanut-Butter-4-lb/10308184

$4.37

>loaf of bread
$1

>oatmeal
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Quaker-Flavor-Variety-Instant-Oatmeal-Value-Pack-18-count-27.3-oz/23751965

$5.06

Plain oats will be cheaper, but all you have to do is add milk or water. Makes breakfast simple.

Total: $31.15

Menu:

>breakfast: oatmeal
>lunch: pb and banana sandwich
>pork, rice and greens

That leaves plenty of money for cooking oil, flour, milk, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. Grab a bag of carrots to eat with your lunch, get a ham hock for the collards, etc.

TVP is basically something you use to mimic ground beef. VWG/seitan is used to make things like meatloaf, sausage, fried steak, burgers, etc.

> i imagine it is similar to soy in that it absorbs flavors
Yeah, it absorbs flavour like a sponge. Well, it literally acts like a sponge - you add it to stock or broth or just water and rehydrate it to the desired consistency. It's about 60% protein by calorie (VWG is around 80%)

> i can get soy by the lb at the same price as chicken. how much is TVP?
Roughly 1/4lb TVP (measured dry; it will absorb a lot of water when cooking) will give you 60 grams of protein, which is more than enough for a day for most people.

>Also is it worth paying 2x more for white rice than brown?
No, brown rice has more protein and fiber and is much better for you.

Considering I hold myself to under 50 a week, this should be easy!
If for a week:
10 pounds chicken ($20)
1 2-pound back brown rice (2)
1 off-brand large container of old-fashioned oats (2.5)
1 gallon of milk (4)
18 eggs (4? varies more than other items)
7 bags of frozen mixed veggies (7)
1 loaf potato bread (2.5)
1 package bouillon (1) for rice taste improving
2 bunches of bananas (3)

That's about all I eat in a week..so... 16 dollars on snacks or whatever. Maybe a bag of apples (4), another gallon of milk (4), ice cream sandwiches (3), more eggs (4).
Yeah, there's a lot you can do with 60 bucks. Especially if you only need to buy enough protein for a week.

>> No.6958546

>>6958462
sorry i meant to ask if it is worth twice the price of white rice for brown rice? I'm familiar with the benefits but can you justify paying 2x? Macros look really nice for TVP, but i'm reading this
"TVP is made from soy protein isolates. The process includes an alkaline solution to remove fiber and an acid wash. Yeah, like I said it's really not possible (or a good idea) to try that at home."
I thought that i could make this myself... i'm looking at it being $4.50/lb. Is this right? why does it cost so much? Is it twice as good as soy? because it sure does cost twice as much.

>>6958546

It's $4.50/lb, but that works out to 225g of protein, or around 2 cents per gram. Try and compare that to soy beans.

The main advantage is just that as a protein source it's small/concentrated and has a long shelf life.

Eh yeah alright you have a point there but i'm able to get soybean protein isolate at a cheap price and make protein shakes out of it and that turns out to be 89.56g protein per $1. I'm looking for the best meat replacements for taste and texture

>> No.6958594

>>6958587

Once you figure out how to cook it, TVP is the best replacement for things like ground beef.

VWG/Seitan (some people use soy protein isolate, pea protein isolate, etc, instead of gluten) can be a lot more versatile, but the learning curve is much steeper than with TVP.

No, it's just an economical and long-lasting food source from which you can make high-protein meals that mimic meat to some degree.

TVP varies widely in terms of quality, you can get stuff like (pic related) that is so close to ground beef in texture that you wouldn't notice the difference in a taco or anything.

You can mimic things like sausages pretty well with seitan, since sausages tend to be heavily spiced and the texture is easy-ish to replicate. But seitan has a higher learning curve to make.

Also what filler or combining agent is best? What I’ve seen used is Mashed potatoes, rolled oats, whole wheat flour and bread crumbs.

Also what are the best flavorings to add? I’ve seen soy sauce, nutritional yeast, ketchup, yellow mustard, and ground sun dried tomatoes besides the usual garlic and onion powder, black pepper, salt etc
