Title: Cheapest Protein Powder in the History of Mankind
Post by: aiir on June 29, 2013, 04:00:52 pm
NOW Foods - Whey Protein Isolate (ingredients are 99% microfiltered whey protein isolate and <1% soy lecithin for mixing purposes).
A 5lb tub costs $59.99 on Amazon, has 162 servings, 25g of protein in each serving ... that's 67.5g of protein for every dollar you pay.

Let's compare to one of the more coveted brands these days, ON Gold Standard 100% Whey,
A 5lb tub costs $53.99 on Amazon, has 74 servings, 24g of protein in each serving ... that's 32.9g of protein for every dollar you pay.

if a serving is 30g (and it is, if the per-serving protein amount is 25g), then unless the NOW stuff also has magical physics-bending properties, there's no way it has 162 servings for a 5lb tub. there are 453g per lb, so there are 2265g in a 5lb tub, or 75.5 servings. give or take.

super grade whey protein concentrate from truenutrition.com is 10lbs for $90 shipped, which is cheaper per pound than the price you quoted. the high grade stuff is even cheaper but it doesn't mix as nicely.

Raw ground beef

Were you being serious? I know some old school bodybuilders use to eat raw ground beef and raw eggs.. Armand Tanny, Vince Gironda
