CanaDank is absolutely right, PEANUT BUTTER man! The less stuff in it, the better. Peanut butter and wheat toast are cheap and great for you before a workout. After a workout, you need some chocolate milk! It helps your body recover faster.

The cheapest option for protein is definitely chicken breast. It's on sale all the time, lean, and you can make everything with it. Wheat pasta and a chunky tomato sauce are also both cheap and wonderful for your body after a workout.

And always, no juices and sodas! Skim milk and water are all you really need for liquid.
