Notes -
If you are getting a decent bolus of protein at each meal 1g/kg is not hard to get to and not 'a lot', especially while bulking. Especially if you at not vegetarian/vegan. One pound of chicken thighs is ~110g of protein. If you are lifting adult male and weigh 110 kg (243 lbs), eating a quarter pound of meat at four sittings shouldn't be that hard to do. With 3-4 feedings a day having some evidence for being more effective than one giant meal. It's tough to imagine a muscular 243 lb male that would have a hard time eating a quarter pounder honestly.
It's not even that expensive, about $2 a day against a real median personal income of about $115 per day in the US.
If prepping meat is too annoying, protein powders are supper cheap. Whey being the most common, mixing well, and with all sorts of flavors. Plenty of slower digesting and vegan options too, if that's what you're into.
