Personally, I buy protein powder even though I know the ingredients are actually too cheap to justify the price. But I’m too lazy, and the reward of a cold chocolate shake after working out makes me forget about the outrageous cost. It’s a little guilty pleasure I’ve come to terms with.
What protein source is cheaper than protein powder? i pay 16€/kg for whey protein
I pay 42€ for 1kg. I don’t know what makes it so expencive or why your’s so cheap. Maybe because mine is vegan. I don’t know.
But Soy is quite cheap. 100g of Soy granular costs about 1,90€ and has 52g of proteins.
yes vegan will do it. i’ll look into soy granular as i’m not too happy with dairy myself.
Chick peas maybe?
my whey powder has 79g Protein / 100g at €16/kg
tinned chick peas have 6.4g / 100g at €3,36 / kg
so about twice as expensive if my math is right. i guess dried and buying in bulk would seriously drop chick pea price, but also chick peas are not a complete protein and dried chick peas are quite a hassle.
