This Is Really a Cost Problem
Hitting a protein target is easy if money is no object. The reason people fail is that protein is the most expensive thing in the trolley, so the useful skill is knowing which sources deliver the most per pound: eggs, milk, own-brand yogurt, tinned fish, chicken thighs, dried pulses and frozen white fish.
Chicken breast and anything branded for fitness sit at the wrong end of that list. Neither is necessary, and swapping them out changes the weekly total more than any other single decision.
Spread It Across the Day
A protein total reached almost entirely at dinner is worse than the same total spread across meals, and it is also harder to hit. The lists here put a protein source in breakfast and lunch rather than treating those as carbohydrate meals.
Dairy does most of that work because it is cheap, needs no cooking and keeps. Yogurt, milk, quark and cottage cheese are the reason a high-protein week is affordable at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest protein in a UK supermarket?
Dried pulses, milk, frozen chicken and own-brand yogurt are consistently among the cheapest per gram of protein. Tinned fish is close behind and needs no cooking; eggs are cheap per meal but cost more per gram of protein.
Do I need protein powder?
No. Some plans use a shake or whey in oats because it is convenient and reasonably cheap, but you can swap it for Greek yogurt, skyr, eggs or extra lean protein and still reach a similar total.
