i’m a dorm-bound student trying to keep cheap protein around, and my shelf has turned into a tiny warehouse: 4 sealed ready-to-drink bottles, 2 unopened powder tubs, and a sad can of chickpeas I keep moving to reach the shakes. Part of me wants a hard minimum so I don’t panic-buy, but part of me likes knowing there’s backup when the dining hall serves mystery casserole.
How many sealed protein backups do you actually keep, and what number makes you feel prepared without turning your room into a mini grocery store?
