Protein seems to be everywhere at the moment… and unfortunately, so does the price tag 😭
With protein-fortified foods and shakes becoming more popular, particularly among people using GLP-1 medications who are trying to maintain muscle mass, demand has increased — and that’s having an impact on prices.
But here’s the thing… you really don’t need to rely on expensive protein products to hit your protein target.
There are loads of everyday foods that provide a decent amount of protein without breaking the bank. Chicken, tuna, eggs, Greek yoghurt, lentils, tofu and even frozen options can all be really cost-effective ways to get your protein in.
So I’ve compared the cost of getting 25g of protein from a few different foods to see how they stack up against whey 👀
And there are some pretty big differences…
Protein doesn’t have to be expensive — sometimes the most basic options are the best value. 💪
What’s your go-to cheap protein source? 👇
