It's only value was being the cheapest way to get protein. If eggs, cheap meat, lentils, beans, milk etc dip below it in price just eat those.
I get over 150g a day and my diets not that expensive, could be cheaper too though
I just did a cost breakdown of ON whey. It's 4.5c/gram of protein. According the St. Louis Fed, the average price of a dozen eggs as of October is ~$3.4, making eggs cost 4.7c per gram of protein.
Nonfat greek yogurt: ~9c per gram protein
Boneless chicken breast: 3-4c per gram protein depending on how you calculate it
Dunno, in my slav shithole whey is still the cheapest way to get protein in your system
Whey - ~2.5rub/gram
Chicken breast - 5rub/gram
Cottage cheese - 4rub/gram
Eggs - 1.5rub/gram but only if you're willing to take the fat yolk hit
A lot of stores have either their own brand of whey or some cheap offbrand stuff. As long as you check that its not the shit that has added onions and it has around 20-24g of protein per scoop it's just as good as the branded shit.
It’s not as good though. They use stuff which isn’t high in bio availability so it’s cheaper.
My protein also had a scandal back in the day when they found out it was equivalent to 12g of protein per serving or something like that. It sucks. Everywhere is jacking up their prices to stupid high levels. It’s cheaper just to buy whole chickens and get protein that way
9/10 chance you don't lift heavy enough or long enough to justify taking whey protein.
You can easily get .7g/lb of protein from just two meals and a few eggs.
I fricking wish. Cheapest I could find on German Amazon is like 20 euro a kilo now

And he's gonna succeed too, plus he'd have increased resourcefulness and industriousness as a result of being pressured to the make the best of what he has.
Powdered protein is trash and one of the most successfully marketed supplements of all time. Just lift. Don't skip days. I don't care if you're "not feeling it today". It doesn't matter. All supplements are memes. Consistency is the only thing that matters. Lift. Keep lifting. Don't stop lifting.
I'm quitting this shit as soon as my current bag is done. Frick the excessive levels of Tryptophan in my diet from these overpriced homosexualry powders
idk I just get it on amazon it's about 2/3rds the price of whey here
though I stopped whey because of acne, not the price
also it tastes absolutely awful in comparison to whey
A bulk store in my area sells whey for 10$/lb. But it happens to look the exact same as the 99 cent/lb pancake mix. It would really be a shame if someone wrote the wrong number when they got to the cashier....
Ring it up as flour in your regular grocery purchases. Tell the bag checker it is "enriched protein flour" if they ask. The average bag checker has literally never seen a bag of Whey in their entire lives.
whey's price increase is mainly a booming popularity in the product. I read a cool article on business insider expecting the market to increase by 40% by 2030. They expect it will continue to increase even past that until pretty much all whey waste product is actually being utilized.
You don't need it to begin with
Chicken Breast + Eggs are infinitely better value per protein
Whey industry is a scam made for people who are too stupid to read nutritional facts of anything for a minute
Yeah, I made a big mistake by not clarifying what I meant
The reason egg is infinitely better value is because it promotes an enormous amount of health benefits too, on top of having a huge amount of protein
Eggs are literally a superfood, whey doesn't have even a fraction of nutrients that eggs does, so you're better just buying more eggs

$6 a dozen is a pretty crazy high price though, where the frick do you even live? It's normally supposed to be like 1/2 that value, especially if you buy large bulks
>have a onions intolerance >almost all the good whey protein have onions lechtin.
god damn it, it keeps giving me diarrhea, i don't really care that much but i'm trying to prevent buying it too much because my hemorrhoids keep acting up.
anyone have any recs for a banana flavor whey protein?
Not at all. The whey isolate I get on ebay is "whey" cheaper than any other protein source I can get at the grocery store. Next best is probably greek yogurt.
Reminder than whey costs literal pennies to produce. Actually, less, it costs nothing to produce, its a byproduct. You're paying for grift, pretty package, and a few meaningless supplements thrown in
Poor people don't deserve muscles
So true
Every man should be fit

What is the maximum you would be willing to pay per bag assuming its price were to go up forever?

Buy cheaper brands I guess? I live in eastern europe and whey costs about as mucn as chicken breast, but whey is more convenient.
Even Spar sells why? sucks none of my Spars carry it

It used to be but ever since the whole Ukraine fiasco all meat except pork is super pricy over here, so It's peas and whey for me 🙁
>Comes out to less than a dollar a serving
>Fricking expensive
it's WHEY too overpriced.
but it's the only whey to get big
It's WHEY/WHEM actually
frick bro i was gonna say that
Just steal it, like i do
it's literally like the price of gas but for your body
9/10 chance you don't lift heavy enough or long enough to justify taking whey protein.
You can easily get .7g/lb of protein from just two meals and a few eggs.
I got 4kg of protein for $100 off myprotein, just gotta time it to when they have 50-60% off.
>4kg
>for 100$
HAHAHHAH WHAT
thats not cheap at all you clown
you pay 10$ per Kg, 15 TOPS
What are you even talking about? The cheapest protein source I could find after that was chicken breast, which was $40 per kg of protein.
I fricking wish. Cheapest I could find on German Amazon is like 20 euro a kilo now
Try skyr, way better prices per gram
Get a job
literal garbage by product of dairy production. you're trying to bulk on literal trash peasant food little miss muppet

100% truth.
I'm quitting this shit as soon as my current bag is done. Frick the excessive levels of Tryptophan in my diet from these overpriced homosexualry powders
tbh i mostly use it for cooking sweets as opposed to shakes
i just drink 1% milk instead
Amazon has a 20% off coupon for Gold's. I got 10 pounds of strawberry for a little over a 100 dollars.
Only time I'm ever spending $100 on powder, is when I'm buying cocaine.
bro I was getting 10 pounds for 50 quid back in the day
I buy close to expire whey isolate from ebay for cheap
A 4.5kg (151 1 scoop shakes) ON bag was £90 this summer
Now the same bag costs £120.
Even cheaper versions are getting too expensive
>get a job in a restaurant
>can eat all I want for free
>can even take stuff home
>he doesn't know about pea protein
what kinda pea protein do you have that is cheaper then whey? It usually costs twice as much for the same amount over here.
idk I just get it on amazon it's about 2/3rds the price of whey here
though I stopped whey because of acne, not the price
also it tastes absolutely awful in comparison to whey
Not bioavailable
A bulk store in my area sells whey for 10$/lb. But it happens to look the exact same as the 99 cent/lb pancake mix. It would really be a shame if someone wrote the wrong number when they got to the cashier....
Just get a kg of fish for $6. It's 200 grams of protein and only around a 1000 calories
>local shartmart stopped stocking double rich chocolate
Ring it up as flour in your regular grocery purchases. Tell the bag checker it is "enriched protein flour" if they ask. The average bag checker has literally never seen a bag of Whey in their entire lives.
What were barcodes
Söy is not bioavailable, plus estrogen
>Whey concentrate is 34 €
>Whey isolate is 44 €
Is issolate really that much better?
Isolate is more processed so it has higher protein content, but it's only like a 4g difference so it doesn't really matter which one you buy.
>Fall for cheaper brand meme
>Taste like dog shit
>Poor mixability
>Had to deal with it for 3 months cause I bought biggest bag available to cheap max
I just take the hit now and buy a brand I enjoy even if it is a bit more expensive.
I bought 2.3 kilos of Whey for around 50€. Did I get scammed?
Reminder all this inflation and supply chain shit goes back to homosexuals insisting we shut everything down for 2 fricking years over the flu
whey's price increase is mainly a booming popularity in the product. I read a cool article on business insider expecting the market to increase by 40% by 2030. They expect it will continue to increase even past that until pretty much all whey waste product is actually being utilized.
Most of this is due to israeliteery from suppliers wanting more money due to COLA
t. supplygay
ahh, the same israelitey logic the "betters" at the Fed who don't want people to get raises because "it contributes to inflation"
How many servings do you usually get out if? I get like 3 months from my isopure which isn't too bad. I don't make meals out of it though.
You don't need it to begin with

minnesota, in a small town
>*gives you gyno*
heh, nothing personnel, kid
For me it's whole foods.
soya protein powder is cheaper and has more protein per gram....but yeah sure keep buying whey
>Locked in at $7CDN/lb with seller
Don't mind if I do.
>have a onions intolerance
>almost all the good whey protein have onions lechtin.
god damn it, it keeps giving me diarrhea, i don't really care that much but i'm trying to prevent buying it too much because my hemorrhoids keep acting up.

Not relevant to me since I don't have access to the manufacturing process or a most cost effective option even with the mark up.
