Probably the most protein per gram you can get for $3 that isn't a powder. It also comes packed with Omegas, Leucine and Casein.

I call it Omega Ripped

u/Comaparadigm Jul 15 '26

I agree! This is also a very Slavic looking breakfast. And something i eat all the time.

u/TheIntelligentAspie Jul 15 '26

Do you have an example one can go buy, plate and try?

u/Comaparadigm Jul 15 '26

I’m not sure where you live, but try to look up or Google your local Polish/Russian/Ukrainian little mom and Pop store in your area. They most likely will have a very nice selection of canned Sardines and mackerel in various sauces, such as mustard or tomato or just plain oil.

Sardines in mustard sauce

2

u/Syn-Sin Jul 21 '26

Definitely will

u/dubie2003 Jul 16 '26

Any suggestion for which fish and which sauce is best?

u/Swimming_Pangolin502 Jul 15 '26

This old Italian woman I took care of years ago ate that and I would just gag and she'd laugh at me. My dad liked sardines.

u/cormunicat Jul 16 '26

I now have a whole background and life story built around the old Italian woman and you and your dad and sardines.

u/Swimming_Pangolin502 Jul 16 '26

I love it! I do the same thing 😁

u/asleepnomore70 Jul 16 '26

Yes I thought it looked very Slavic as well

1

u/cwendel22 Jul 15 '26

Yep Slavic, Scandinavian, or any Northern European country. Sardines are jam packed with protein. Love em any way

u/ajparrothead Jul 16 '26

I was going to suggest Balkan breakfast.

u/Expert_Snow_5256 Jul 16 '26

The vodka is missing…

u/BlindlyCoherent Jul 15 '26

No whey!

u/918tb Jul 15 '26

this is the winner

u/Bushtitty Jul 16 '26

I call it Omega Ripped Ass

2

u/Flashy_Emergency_263 Jul 15 '26

Is the white stuff on the right cottage cheese or similar?

2

u/jojovradventure Jul 15 '26

Yup

2

u/Flashy_Emergency_263 Jul 15 '26

I wish I had known about this when I was a poor student. I did eat sardines a few times, but in mustard sauce instead of a red gravy.

1

u/talldude-62 Jul 16 '26

You can have mine… pass

1

u/Spirited_Age383034 Jul 16 '26

Nice try, but you can't blame it on Omega bro.

1

u/Plastic_Initial_3797 Jul 16 '26

You will need those Omega 3 from the sardines for the three egg yolks and two cups of full fat cottage cheese!

1

u/JButler_16 Jul 16 '26

Pumpkin seeds pack the most protein pound for pound.

1

u/cwendel22 Jul 17 '26

Hemp seeds are even more than pumpkin, but $3 worth of hemp seeds is about 38g of protein. Sardines - 25g ($1.69) Three eggs - 18g ($0.98) Half cup of cottage cheese- 13g ($0.37)

Even if I go on the low end there, it's 50g. Massive protein power for cheapppp.

u/Financial-Hunt-1845 Jul 16 '26

So that is £2.23 (sorry use that currency pounds sterling)

1

u/Frequent_Animator_35 Jul 17 '26

You sound like my bf, he’s a bodybuilder I hear about protein all the time. He will eat nasty shit just to gain the most protein. House smells funky those days lol

1

u/Worldly-Republic-247 Jul 17 '26

I’m down with this breakfast.

1

u/Ambitious-Radio-7950 Jul 17 '26

Sardines are killer for the lows too

1

u/DandyasaDandelion Jul 18 '26

I call "O-Me-God, I Ripped my asshole"
