This is what happens when you destroy the economy for a minor flu.
Turns out Trump was right when he said the antidote shouldn't be worse than the cure.
one pound of any meat is fucking amazing for that. When I ran out of protein powder I figured that out. Plus in the longrun I think just buying a lb of meat is cheaper
Yeah it is, you're also paying for convenience with the whey. Dymatize whey is 65 bucks for 63 servings, so basically a dollar per serving. Each serving has 25 g protein, so every 4 dollars gets your 100g of protein. Chicken is 2-3 dollars per pound, each pound has 120 grams of protein. The whey comes in at 1 dollar/25 grams, or 4 cents per g, whereas chicken is 3 dollars/120 grams, or 2.5 cents per gram of protein.
Only fatsos get this shit. All my non-lifting friends who tried to get back into the gym bought shit like this, and surprise, surprise - they're still fat fucks
Not a bad price when you think about it
Cheapest and lowest calorie protein out there
Life saving on a cut, preserves mass
Would still buy it when it hits $200
Make more money, stop being a brokie, simple as
Whey is the GOAT
Fools the brain sometimes, its just like a banana smoothie. Good in the mornings when a lot of other flavours taste like dessert or sweets or other trash.
Yes, they sell ON. The prices on their website are inflated because of shipping, just get a membership and shop in store; sometimes they even have crazy sales on 5 lbs bags where you can get them for like $22
WOW, nice catch
ive been looking through facebook marketplace and local estate sales for second hand stuff
got two basically brand new 45lb plates for $60 total last month
So does anybody know what the *actual* reason is?
Closest I've been able to find (and that might be total bullshit) is precursors from China becoming more expensive.
finally founnd a 50% off code for myprot and whey is now at 2020 prices BUT code didnt apply to creatine
creatine supply is fucked
it seems like myprot just removed promo codes for creatine altogether
idk if it's temporary
they basically used to give creatine away before, it x5'd since
their entire business model is scammy and built around these promo codes, you should never order unless they have like 40% off since these are their real baseline prices
the other thing is their prices scale with product package weight so the bigger the package, the cheaper it gets BUT because of supply shortage or purposefully, they started removing the bigger packages, so you have to order multiple smaller portions at a markup for the same weight as before
whey supply must be improving currently or they're realizing they're bleeding customers, they re-added 5kg bags when they were out of stock a week ago, same with some other items, so prices are more acceptable this week vs a week ago when I checked, except for creatine
bigger bags of oats are also still out of stock although I doubt oats supply is fucked and has nothing to do with china, so I think they do this purposefully to skim a few more shekels, but they must also be feeling customer pressure because everyone is complaining now and their reputation is taking a severe hit
umm yeah I think it's the Easter deal where they pre-applied a % off without a code and then a 49% code on top of it
I checked other countries and they don't have the same deals
Sick, but good for you, 60 for 5kg is an insane deal in todays enviroment. I dont like myprotein, it tastes worse than bulk imo, but I'd stock up at that price.
>5kg whey for 60€
I just checked the german website of myprotein and they don't even sell the 5kg bags anymore. The max is 1kg and it costs 40€. So 5kg would be 200€ here...
>one scoop >24g protein
Now don't get me wrong I've been known to use these powders but it is kinda fucking stupid actually
You can get that out of like 3 oz of tuna at the same calories
It's actually really easy to get the same protein through real food. These things are a bit of a meme
Why do people still buy ON? Out of habit? This shit might have been the literal gold standard in 2008, but nowadays there are better and cheaper options.
tbf I am not the best guy to tell you that because I am not from the US and tend to buy whey produced here in Germany. I assume you guys got it even better than us when it comes to whey selection.
>Why do people still buy ON? Out of habit?
Mostly. Gold standard, found a few flavors I like, cheaper than some alternatives. Last thing I want to do is buy a slightly cheaper whey protein and find out I absolutely hate the flavor and have to live with it for months. Trying to find a slightly cheaper alternative is like splitting hairs, pretty sure there are a million and one ways to save money more efficiently.
I've had Impact Whey and it was pretty good, still like ON better.
You could buy 84 lbs of bone-in chicken legs for that
You could buy 18lbs of ground turkey for that
You could buy a ridiculous amount of whole ham for that
I'll never understand why all the retards on this board won't just buy meat lmaoooooooooo
>cutting at 2800 calories >take this genius anon's super awesome high protein dietary advice, who needs whey >only 160gr protons consuming nothing but his turboproton food
do u think before u type? what does milk have to do with protein supplements?
your reply just had nothing to do with the topic of the thread at all >why is protein powder so expensive now what the hell >>bros I found the sickest flavoured sparkling water, $5.99 for a twelve pack raspberry flavored, taking the pellegrino pill here!!
thanks for the input dude
I can live without it.
biden propped another fake war with russia using ukraine to hike up prices
Trumpfags vote against their own economic interests
This is what happens when you destroy the economy for a minor flu.
Turns out Trump was right when he said the antidote shouldn't be worse than the cure.
Get Dymatize Elite Whey. It’s 20 bucks cheaper on Amazon and tastes fine.
is body fortress iso protein any good ? cheapest protein i could find
It's all right; mostly onions, not whey
It's dogshit. It has less than half the protein per serving advertised, throw it out right now.
Source?
This is what happens as oldfags age, they become dads.
No, they amino spike so your getting like 50% of the listed protein on the label.
here's the thing. you use the 25% off subscribe and save coupon and then just cancel after your first order
I eat animal protein.. one pound of chicken breast is literally 120g ; you don’t need that synthetic bullshit anon
one pound of any meat is fucking amazing for that. When I ran out of protein powder I figured that out. Plus in the longrun I think just buying a lb of meat is cheaper
Yeah it is, you're also paying for convenience with the whey. Dymatize whey is 65 bucks for 63 servings, so basically a dollar per serving.

Dymatize's Gourmet Chocolate is the worst
It's disgustingly sweet even when you only use half a scoop and mix with flavorless
It's not synthetic you spastic, it's literally a byproduct of cheesemaking
>eating a pound of chicken breast
Sickening.
I think you'll find that one pound of chicken breast is about 450g.
>synthetic
How do you think whey is made bro?
Because you retards keep paying for it
Whey is a waste product from the cheese industry, stop buying it for a while and the price will come back down
There are people who unironically believe that.
they unleashed a scamdemic to get him out of office and gas prices went down
I like that they now think to men together is a joke.
*two
There are people who unironically vote republican
im quitting protein powder when my current tub runs out. Instead I will be eating sardines and/or ground beef after every workout.
Why is there no protein powder in the underworld?
>there's no whey in hell
Was 55 dollars back when I fell for the whey meme
Just drink milk
>there was a point in 2019 I remember costco selling the 5lb jars/bags for under 50 when it was on sale
fucking christ man shit is getting so bad the last few years its insane. meat prices are even worse
Worst part is its the result of a fraudulent election, wasn't even a fair loss
>5 lbs for $50
that ain't shit. I remember getting 11 fucking pounds from myprotein for $55.
god damn thats a good deal
Is it really that good? I was thinking of getting one of the, cheaper alternatives.
>$45 for 2 lbs
anon thats about 30% more expensive by weight
I didn't even bother to look at how much it has. M-my bad.
I"m honestly lazy so I just check amazons price by weight thing they put under stuff.
nah it's just like a basic chocolate flavored protein powder with some oreo cookie pieces in it. macros are meh too
Only fatsos get this shit. All my non-lifting friends who tried to get back into the gym bought shit like this, and surprise, surprise - they're still fat fucks
Whole milk is $3.06/gallon where I live
Not a bad price when you think about it
Cheapest and lowest calorie protein out there
Life saving on a cut, preserves mass
Would still buy it when it hits $200
Make more money, stop being a brokie, simple as
Whey is the GOAT
Well shit I can't even finish the one I have now. So personally I don't mind one bit. Even speaking as a wagie.
I actually am interested in getting this flavor. Is it good?
Yes.
Fools the brain sometimes, its just like a banana smoothie. Good in the mornings when a lot of other flavours taste like dessert or sweets or other trash.
It's the best flavor they make. I bought vanilla ice cream after that flavor because my wife wanted to try it and I've been kicking myseld ever since.
>mfw bought bought two 10lb bags a month ago
Just get a costco membership and buy it for 63.99, dweeb
they sell that brand?
I was already cosnidering costco for fish oil sups
Yes, they sell ON. The prices on their website are inflated because of shipping, just get a membership and shop in store; sometimes they even have crazy sales on 5 lbs bags where you can get them for like $22
finally founnd a 50% off code for myprot and whey is now at 2020 prices BUT code didnt apply to creatine
creatine supply is fucked
They were as low as $49 on amazon a few years ago, and are now permanently at $90. Price will never come back down as people continue to buy it.
Same with home gym stuff. Free weights were 100lb adjustable dbs were $180 on amazon until mid covid, price is now $340+
forgot pic
I lucked out and found this. It went back to $70 and now $100.
WOW, nice catch
ive been looking through facebook marketplace and local estate sales for second hand stuff
got two basically brand new 45lb plates for $60 total last month
>n as people continue to buy it.
I make $160k a year and my house is paid for. I will continue to buy it and not think anything of that price.
Not having a mortgage is basically setting money on fire
Yeah, companies will NEVER let the price go back down to pre-covid numbers as long as people are still buying it at an inflated price.
I'm all for capitalism, but this is some abuse of it.
>I'm all for capitalism, but this is some abuse of it.
Anon that just is capitalism, not abusing it.
Check back tomorrow and it might drop in price.
deep down, you like all the killing
the irish company that makes this control all the major whey protein brands
~~*Irish*~~
Bros this any good? It's 30% cheaper than ON here
Prostate whey protein? I don't like the taste
So does anybody know what the *actual* reason is?
Closest I've been able to find (and that might be total bullshit) is precursors from China becoming more expensive.
But if that's true....why?
here's a comparison between latest order and 2018 order
Creatine prices are fucking outrageous.
yeah like I said here
it seems like myprot just removed promo codes for creatine altogether
idk if it's temporary
they basically used to give creatine away before, it x5'd since
their entire business model is scammy and built around these promo codes, you should never order unless they have like 40% off since these are their real baseline prices

how the fuck did you get 5kg whey for 60 yuros, its 90 when I check even with a 49% code !?
black baguette magic or what?
umm yeah I think it's the Easter deal where they pre-applied a % off without a code and then a 49% code on top of it
I checked other countries and they don't have the same deals
Sick, but good for you, 60 for 5kg is an insane deal in todays enviroment. I dont like myprotein, it tastes worse than bulk imo, but I'd stock up at that price.
>5kg whey for 60€
I just checked the german website of myprotein and they don't even sell the 5kg bags anymore. The max is 1kg and it costs 40€. So 5kg would be 200€ here...
it's the Putin's price hike
>2023
>still consuming the powdered garden gnome
the good old days
Trumpfags vote against their own economic interests
watching you consume protein with onions lecithin and palm oil, slowly turning yourself into trannies gets me so hard
>one scoop
>24g protein
Now don't get me wrong I've been known to use these powders but it is kinda fucking stupid actually
You can get that out of like 3 oz of tuna at the same calories
It's actually really easy to get the same protein through real food. These things are a bit of a meme
I don't want to eat tuna all the time
what's the amount of effort required for any meat source versus a protein shake?
Priced out of the housing market
Priced out of the whey protein market
Why do people still buy ON? Out of habit? This shit might have been the literal gold standard in 2008, but nowadays there are better and cheaper options.
Do tell. I use ON because it's what I know. I made the mistake of buying some Walmart mix one time and it was the worst thing I've ever had.
tbf I am not the best guy to tell you that because I am not from the US and tend to buy whey produced here in Germany. I assume you guys got it even better than us when it comes to whey selection.

You live in a great country then.
For the same price i can only get 800 grams of protein in the form of ground beef.
All of that goes bad in under two weeks
I can keep a tub of whey unrefrigerated for months
I took the raw milk pill
>1 EUR per liter
>almost 700 calories and 40g of protein
>cutting at 2800 calories
>take this genius anon's super awesome high protein dietary advice, who needs whey
>only 160gr protons consuming nothing but his turboproton food
do u think before u type? what does milk have to do with protein supplements?
My advice is absolute, I for sure typed "drink nothing but milk"
your reply just had nothing to do with the topic of the thread at all
>why is protein powder so expensive now what the hell
>>bros I found the sickest flavoured sparkling water, $5.99 for a twelve pack raspberry flavored, taking the pellegrino pill here!!
thanks for the input dude
They literally had a 10lb bag for 90$ sale this past week. Same brand.
money printer go brrrr
>paying almost $100 for a couple of kgs of a milk byproduct
This was Trumps America, bros.....We cannot let those fascists back into office again.
>eating powdered industrial waste with added vitamax SSRI estroblend to own capitalism

in the sense that he's buying a product? yea sure, i guess we all own a little bit of "capitalism"
This comment is what happens when you spend every minute online
>How can I say something that looks sane enough for people to read but retarded enough to guarantee replies?
What's preventing people from starting their own whey company with fair and competitive prices?
economies of scale
yes, and we need to support the Federal Reserve's saving ofthe finantial system. Not to mention Uckraine and Taiwan!
Dude, milk and eggs get you SO MUCH MORE protein for the money. Just egg/milk max.
Milk is mostly fat and carbs and eggs are mostly fat
amazon order from 2018
You should already be eating bugs for gains.
you guys realize you can make your own whey, right?
