For all the homies surviving on instant ramen: stuff like Spam, cheap gyoza/mandoo/shumai, and/or eggs can greatly help in making sure you get some cheap protein.
Unless you're literally starving to death, spam never has a positive impact on your diet. It's basically just salt, gelatin, and connective tissue scraped off the bone. Adding extreme quantities of salt to an item that already has extreme quantities of salt is awful nutritional advice, no matter how small the budget.

But salt has the electrolytes the body craves!
