>tfw just realized all protein supplements taste like dog shitand it's 10x more expensive than natural sources. literally golem feed.
Protein is one of the biggest scams in recent times. Probably the biggest.
>>77441704>>77441702Dumb. You don't lift.
try this flavor, you wont regret it
>>77441702Whey used to be cheap, 5kg grassfed for 35 euro
>>77441702>y whey no taste gud kys
>>77441702Only buy unflavoured. More utility, no artificial aroma and sweetener bullshit. You could even add it to savory dishes
>>77441702If only they made bacon-flavored protein powder or something. Oh well.Has anyone tried that textured vegetable protein thing? Macros seem okay, fuck ton of fiber too so nice poops. And it might taste okay if fried with Frank's. And it's $100 per 10kg.

>>77441702idk mane there's an affordable and high quality flavourless whey powder in my area (USD$60/5kg) and I use it to cook. Lasts about 2 months, which means ~$30/mo for it, which fits very well into a ~$200/mo grocery budget. That all leaves me enough for 2 kinds of rice totalling 2kgs, 2kgs of dry beans, 2kgs of fresh meat, 1kg of canned fish (love my deenz), a bag of flour, 2kgs of potatoes, and as many fresh and frozen veggies as I'm going to eat that month with some to spare. That should be everything you need to cook the essentials of a meal, ignoring the fact that you should already own seasoning and condiments. What kind of protein powder are you buying that costs more than $30/month and/or what kind of groceries do you buy that are outpricing your protein powder?
>>77441702Skill issue.
>>77441702idk bro I just eat eggs and pork steaks, 200g protien a day for like $5
>>77443543200g of protein from pork and eggs would be $15 in pork alone, do you live on a pig farm?Schizo homesteaders need not reply.
>>77441702For all the retards, like >>77441712:A 28 serving tub of whey is roughly $40 USD at 30 grams per serving. That's $1.42 for 30 grams of protein. A dozen eggs is about $2. Five eggs has 30 grams of protein. That's about 84 cents for the same amount of protein. Obviously these are my local prices, but I guarantee the price difference is still massive wherever you live. You buy whey protein because it's convenient and digests quickly. OP is not a faggot for once.
>>77443549pork shoulder flank steaks are $1.99lb I eat a a one and a half pounder for lunch
just dump it in with your oatmeal and nuke it in the microwave, make sure to add water. 2 packs oats to 1 scoop of powder, dont skimp on the water.
>>77443551He's right about the price but he's still a faggot for pretending you'd buy whey to save money. It's like whenever non gym goers see me and go "dude why do you buy protein hurr hurr just get your protein from [random food item normies associate with high protein (it rarely is)]" as if that wouldn't involve downing like five kilograms of solid food daily and still having space left for other macros.
>>77443551eggs are easy too tho can make and eat 10 during my 15 minute break at work
>>77441702Whey tastes decent if you pay for quality. I agree this cheap shit we're getting is trash.
>>77441702whey is for low iq inferior "men" who are unable to cookchicken breasts are infinitely more nutritious and have infinitely higher protein per $and it is like one of the easiest meats in the world to prepareif you can't even cook such an easy meat, you are not a man, you are below insect at this point
>>77443549Hope this helps
Have you tried onions flour?
>>77444098What is your deal with this man
Whey protein is a trick (((they))) use to sell you leftovers
>gives you multiple day constipation
>>77445827Maltitol is a laxative
I can get a whole chicken for about $4/kgWith ~30% of the weight being bones, that's about $6/kg of meat. With about 30g protein from each 100g serving, that's $6 per 300g protein.Overall, about $20 per kg of protein.Or I can get a 1kg tub of the cheapest WPC available to me at $60 per kg.Protein products exist for convenience and variety. That's what you're paying for. Not to say it's never worth it, but just know what it is.(Also don't throw out chicken bones, make stock and cook your rice in it. Your tastebuds will love it and your skin/ligaments will thank you for the collagen. Don't even get me fucking started on the scam that is collagen supplements. EAT THE SKIN TOO, BITCH).
30 eggs are about $3.50 in my supermarket. 6g of protein at about $0.11 each. I make 6 eggs in a meal, that is 36g of protein for $0.66.The hell do you need all that expensive garbage for anyway when eggs solve all your issues?
>>77442037I wouldn't invest $100 in TVP if you haven't tried it before, but worth trying if you can buy a small packet anywhere.Personally I'm off vegan fake meats, the prices are inflated and they only measure up to the vague memory of meats, they don't really land if you're also eating the real thing regularly.I just buy dried basedbeans and mix them into my casseroles and burritos and such. Cheap as fuck, nice texture if you like beans, and adds a fuckload of fibre without skyrocketing your carbs. My shits are fucking godly since doing this.Only worth it if you're willing to invest in a pressure cooker though, otherwise basedbeans take forever to cook. Also I still include actual meat, they might be a bit tasteless if you're actually vegan, idk.
uppies
>>77441702>and it's 10x more expensive than natural sources.Or maybe realize you have artificially low food prices in euroland and everywhere else meat is 10x more expensive then whey.
