If you’re trying to build muscle, you’ve surely been told that you should load up on chicken—and with good reason; each serving of chicken breast has about 28 grams of protein. But it’s certainly not your only option if you’re trying to supplement all of the hard work you do at the gym by stocking your kitchen properly. We consulted with several experts to get their best suggestions for other foods that help you bulk up—without draining your wallet.

To generate numbers indicative of customers’ experiences, the Instacart Data Analytics team searched relevant premium and regular grocery items within each category—i.e. eggs—and produced an average price across all varying brands, partner stores and geographical regions.
