Posting a key ingredient to my home made meals that revolutionized what we eat at home:

TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)

Taste: 5*/5 - TVP needs prep work (soak in water for ~10 min, rinse, squeeze), but will have a neutral taste and the texture of uncooked, zero fat ground meat. It's basically a sponge for flavor, and its best use is extending ground meat (e.g. pork) and using that in any giniling recipe (e.g. spaghetti, chili con carne, torta).

Packaging: 4.5/5 - basic bulk ingredient. Shelf stable.

Price: 5,000/5 - not kidding. TVP is the cheapest source of lean, whole protein by a landslide. Walang tatalo sa kanya. A whole kilo is just P100, but just 100g (dry) has 50 grams of protein and just 330 kcal! The biggest challenge is figuring out enough ground meat dishes you can eat per week na di nakakasawa. I got my household to 2 days a week.
