Every time I feel a "squeeze" on my wallet, I turn to my personal ol' faithful—canned or packaged tuna. Tuna is not only affordable, but it's also a good, lean protein source whether you're cutting or bulking. Just sneak into your parents' house and "borrow" a few spices, and you can crank up that tuna salad to the next level.
