Stop being poor. Problem solved
>>77466431I paid $2.19/lbs for chicken breast. A pound has 100g protein. That is $0.55 for 25g and it’s actually food.
>>77466883I just looked and ON is $28.78 for 16 servings. What a rip off.
>>77466812Eggs are a waste product. It was nothing to do with price
>>77466891Eggs are not a waste product
>>77466883>>77466889Its more convenient to just mix whey up with some milk and drink it. Everyone eats chicken regardless of having whey or not you retards, the question is it the price worth having this convenience.Whats next? Telling us walking is cheaper than driving?
>>77466825Poor or rich, there is no reason to buy whey protein over real food, and even less reason to buy whey protein at this price. Even rich people should be smart with their money and not chuck it at stupid, no-value shit.
>>77467026>everyone should just cook something up instead of taking a few minutes to drink something to get an extra 24g to 50g of proteinwhat is this autistic meme of eating only "real food"? you also want to tell us to only drink "real coffee" instead of taking a caffeine pill?
>>77467037>you also want to tell us to only drink "real coffee" instead of taking a caffeine pill?Yes.
>>77467041Real food or not, people who take whey also eat chicken retard. Your posts basically translates to people who drink water should also hydrate.

>>77467026do you know how whey is produced? its not done in a lab, its just something thats removed from milk in cow farms.
>>77466812Fatfucks on ozempic realized they can't eat literally nothing. So to cash in on these weight loss drugs, food companies are adding protein to things that don't need it. Check your supermarket shelves and you'll see "now with added protein!" slapped on a lot more labels than a year ago.
DYELs just think they have to eat their powder shit or something lol

>>77467024How is it less convenient to just add an extra chicken breast sliced in half on the grill and put an extra quarter of a breast on your dinner plate every day? With why, you have to buy it, wash an extra cup every time you drink it, and it takes up a huge amount of cabinet space.

>>77467104Just so we're clear, you think that chickens are raised by enormous poultry corporations primarily to produce eggs - and not for the chicken meat, that eggs, which are produced regularly and naturally by chickens anyway as a waste product (Having been intended to be offspring, but ending up as unfertilized, non-living refuse to the animal) are white chickens are primarily grown, harmonally supplemented, genetically modified to be fatty and large and factory-farmed end masse?Please respond with an actual yes or no.

>>77467110Yes, of course eggs aren't a waste product of a domesticated animal which we keep specifically to provide us with them. Even relative to the chicken's perspective, they brood on their so-called "waste products" intending to hatch them.
>>77466559
>>77467145>Yeah I dont know what I expectedYou really want to win this egg argument huh? I dont know what you are arguing about but you can have it. Im just here to tell you to go get a life.
>>77467054Except that's not whey protein. It's insect protein, you will eat the bugs faggot.
>>77467026Poor fag cope. I don't know how much my ON 5lb protein jugs cost anymore. Amazon just sends me a new one every month.
>>77467161Its really not that much. $100 a month is nothing if you actually have a job.
I bought a 5 pound eye of round at $6.29/lbs. after trimming and everything it’s over 450g protein. That’s 18 servings of 25+g protein for basically the same price as a tub of ON with 16 servings 24g protein. You whey coonzoomers are paying beef prices for a bad tasting milk drink.
>>77467086Are you referring to onions or pea? How's it taste?
>>77467187Do you eat that every day? If so, then yea you dont need whey.
>>77467196I make my own beef jerky from eye of round. It’s super easy to make and doesn’t have unnecessary curing salts and I have my favorite recipes dialed in. I portion it out in 20g protein bags and keep in the fridge if I eat something low protein like a dessert or a restaurant meal.
>>77467230Sounds tasty. Im not doing that though so it makes sense for me to just get some whey on top of whatever im eating. Ill make steaks maybe once a week, two at most. For the rest of the week im eating chicken, beef, or whatever for lunch and dinner. Id rather just add a protein shake on top of all that just to be safe.
>>77467092i have milk in my fridge that's about 135kcal for 20g
>>77467258>20mL of milk for 135kcalthe fuck kind of milk do you have? regular milk is like 150kcal for 240mL. did you spike it with sugar or some shit?

>>77467155Sorry you're so upset.
>>77467258>Reduced fat, ultra filtered milk is "real food"Lol OK bud
>>77467271He's talking about ultrafiltered milk. They filter out a lot of the lactose and concentrate the protein. It's in no way a real food. In fact, it's a hyper-processed food.
>>77466431Just eat some fucking eggs.
>>77467054>saw "high protein" ice cream cone>compare to the cheapest generic vanilla ice cream cone i like to buy>its literally the same amount of protein

>>77467285>you cant cook>milkDid you "cook" this milk yourself? You literally just bought fairlife whole milk you dunce
>>77467323isnt it like 6g of protein per large egg? im not eating 4 eggs a day unless im poor as shit
>>77467323>eat something 64% fat to up your protein bro
>>77467363So you’re finally admitting Trump lowered the price of eggs?
>>77467110Dunning-Kruger LMAO
>>77467530Never denied Trump wasnt great. Awesome guy. But that has nothing to do with eating eggs everday
back in june, i bought 20 lbs for $176 on amazon haul...looks like that deal is gone now but keep an eye out

>>77467533>doesn't answer the question>pivots to ad homCalling dunning Kruger is beyond ironic
You're paying more than 4x the price of milk for what is basically milk.
>>77466776could you name a few
>>77467054>food companies are adding protein to things that don't need itYou are over a decade late my man. Protein in everything has been a trend for a looooong time.
>>77467575>this single shoelace, with no sole, heel or ability to enshroud, cushion or support a foot is basically a shoe
>>77467576No
>>77467587nigga Im gonna boil you
>>77467580You're paying 4x the price of shoes for a shoelace.
>>77466776Every brand is expensive now. Hell, Nutricost actually costs more than ON now. Shit's fucked.
>>77468262I thought you were being dramatic, I saw a tub of nutricost is now over $100. Wtf nigga I bought it for under 60 like half a year ago
>>77468299Don't worry, I'm sure sure they're going to be able to mass produce bug protein powder soon, which will be affordable for everyone.
Chicken is $2 a lb at my grocery store
>>77466440nigger if you cant afford 3 servings a week then you've gotta rethink your whole life
>>77468308I would unironically drink ze bugs
I mostly eat pork or chicken for cheap protein but I like to make a protein shake for post workout so I don't have to cook something right away. I was able to get a 4lb tub, 40 servings of 30g a serving, for $20
I just buy the Walmart brand Equate Whey now. It's about a dollar a scoop for similar macros to Optimum Nutrition.
>>77466431>Do we just suck it up and pay?Absolute fucking faggot. You're a drooling mouthbreathing retard, the goodest goy to ever dance for his processed waste slop rations. Fuck you. That garbage is so expensive because retards like you pay for it anyway.
>>77468504Man you're really upset huh
Why did whey get so expensive when milk has remained static this whole time?I can still go to the super market and get a gallon for $2.99, but a bottle of whey has tripled in price over the past 5 years.
The majority of whey is a byproduct of cheese manufacturing. Now look how the high heat the last weeks in europe influenced the cheese economy and you understand really fast why the prices skyrocketed.
>>77466431The powders have become almost as expensive as the premade bottles once I factor in the cost of milk. Only like 20-30% more.
why cant we have a comfy protein powder thread without fucking retards shitting it uppost cheap protein powder or fuck off>>77467110in case someone actually doesnt knowyes, chicken raised for meat is different from chicken (hen) kept for eggsthe chicken we eat are special breeds that grow well and are basically killed before they can even lay eggs at like 2 months oldlaying chicken are bred for laying eggs and are kept as long as thats viable, then you could argue its actually their meat that is the waste product when they are killedthe chicken you buy wont come from hens, look around the store, the hens are these small shrivelled looking things, kinda like old womenboth are all female chicken btw, male chicks are ground up for mcnuggets or pet food in both casesthis of course applies to commercial farming in more developed countries, indians keeping chicken in their dirt garden might not make a distinction (which is probably where this confusion comes from)
>>77468677>almost as expensive as the premate bottlesThats nuts
>>77467576I don't often use whey but I usually buy USN
>>77468504You're right, but they'll hate you for telling the truth.
>>77468662Milk is subsidized by the government so sellers are forced to keep it at a consistent price.
>>77466431I lucked out and found some 1.8lb Ghost and SixStar protein containers for $10 each.
>>77467054I see fiber and granola bars being called protein bars. They usually only have 6g of protein.
>>77470029Thanks for hooking your bros on /fit/ up dickhead
>>77470044They were on clearance, it was likely a local deal anyways.
>>77466533This is it, just stock up on sales. I only really use protons now to give my oats some extra protein and flavour. Rarely just smashing down shakes nowadays.
>>77466533>>77466729I always add milk as I blend my powder, usually with fruit.
>>77466431be less poor or find an alternative
Anyone else get mad farts on just two 20g shakes of ON protons per day?
>>77468662>>77468674It makes sense when you understand that almost no one makes whey for whey sake. Whey is a byproduct of the cheese industry. Now that GLP1s are widespread and people are trying to eat better corporations are making "protein" variants of their normal foodstuffs and they do this by just adding whey protein to them, this means there is more demand for whey, but since no one makes whey just to make whey they make whey as a byproduct of cheese and there isn't an increase in cheese production whey's supply stays static, and when supply stays the same but demand goes up prices go up, thus milk stays the same, cheese stays the same, whey goes up, because kraft is now putting whey powder in their blue box mac and cheese and calling it powermac Optimum Nutrition now has to pay more to get the whey to make their gold standard because they're competing with kraft (and others) for the same whey.If the [protein _______] fad dies prices might come back down.
>>77466440>postNigga why? You can drink it an hour or two before and if it's whey it'll still be broken down during and after you're at the gym since you're not there for 4 hours.
>>77467054>Check your supermarket shelves and you'll see "now with added protein!" slapped on a lot more labels than a year ago.But it's almost all wheat or pea protein shit, I checked most of it and about a third of the protein snacks or protein biscuit or protein bread and shit have onions, egg or milk proteins as the added source so it's kind of a scam.>>77466431I buy mine for cheaper than that, 5kg for about 150$ish and that's not on sale if I want cheap I can probably get cheaper shit but not as tasty
>>77466431Shop at Costco, and look for any brands wherever you shop that're <$0.60/serving
>>77466431Just eat more chicken breasts and eggs, retardInfinitely more nutritious while being several times better cost benefit >b-but i can't cookImagine how inferior of a """""""man"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" do you have to be to not be able to cook some of the easiest and least complex food in the world
>>77466431u need to go vegan
>>77466435egg whites in a carton just seems so gross, factory separated... fuck that, just do entire eggs which is what I do. scrambled, hard boiled, whatever. 8 eggs a day in addition to tons of beans, chicken, red meat (not a fan of fish).
>>77471709>If the [protein _______] fad dies prices might come back down.Unlikely. Even if the protein junk food fad ends and whey powder sellers can afford to drop the price, they won't if people are used to it and continue to pay the higher price. Just like how any time there's any inflation, groceries stores just artificially jack up their prices on top of it because they have a scapegoat, then make record profits.
>>77467026>Even rich people should be smart with their moneyI mean...rich people should be the ones smartest with their money, that way you can make more money with your existing money. >"Better to have $100,000 in the bank driving a $4,000 car, than it is to have $4,000 in the bank driving a $100,000 car" - some guy
>>77472165>Infinitely more nutritious while being several times better cost benefitNot really.And it's not about not being about to consume other sources of protein. It's about convenience. I like having a tub of instant protein that I can keep in the pantry for months at a time.
>>77467086>>77472169Almost every plant protein I've tried tastes like shit, especially rice protein which is found in most blends. The only one that's tolerable is pea protein, and it still tastes worse than whey or casein and has a worse amino profile.
>>77466431I got OPs picrel but in Casein. When I blend it like I did the Whey, the Casein turns into basically, a pudding. Maybe its all the air Im putting into it. Ive done Casein before but never blended it and it was fine. I guess I'll just have to stir it.
>question and answer
>>77472279Ignored
>>77472507>protein is expensive>simply spend more. Thats clearly the answerBig brain moment
I had seven dollars off on a giant vanilla ice cream whey from ON at publix. came out to 21 dollars and I drank it with milk and it tasted like a milkshake
>>77472279not even convenience, just feeling like shit from having to eat so much. I cook basically every meal, and even with meal prepping, it's a lot of just volume of chicken, eggs, steak, it gets exhausting at times. sometimes I just would rather not eat, but I need protein for growth and recovery, so oh just a few scoops of powder with some whole milk and i'm done. no cleanup either, just rinse/wash my shaker and that's it. I chug as well so that's what 2 minutes versus all the time it takes to prep meat and then cook it and then storage and all the volume eating it. yes protein powder doesnt give the same satiety as eating a bunch of food but I just dont care if I feel hungry.
>>77466559>he doesn't add a scoop of tokyo broadcast station to his shake
>>77466431I won't pretend choccy-flavored whey milkshakes are the only way to hit targets and cheaper options aren't available, but fitness being completely gatekept financially would be fantastic news. With stuff like this it probably is anyway because most people aren't capable of the tiny amount of planning they would have to do to make a cheaper meal plan. If someone wants to improve then poorness should be addressed well before any serious fitness.
