Protein on a Budget

The upcoming period is economically challenging, so I dedicated several hours to preparing a table of 50 different high-protein foods, ranking them by price per single gram of protein.

In other words, what is the cost for one gram of protein—or simply put, which food is more cost-effective for us to buy.

Key Points:

All product prices are the recommended retail price, before discounts and excluding delivery fees if applicable.

The information was gathered from the sales websites of Shufersal Online, Rami Levy, Victory, iHerb, Myprotein, and IsraelBody.

Please note that I did not address protein quality, the level of food processing, or overall quality.

I also did not account for other nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, and calories (though I did mention the number of calories per 100g).

The focus is exclusively on the price per gram of protein.

This table can help you manage your consumer choices wisely during challenging times when gyms are closed, making it difficult to maintain muscle mass, and during periods of economic uncertainty.

I must note that the table surprised me; I didn't think Myprotein powders would top the list with such a cost-effective price. However, I must qualify this by saying the cost does not include shipping fees, which can dramatically increase the price, and this should be taken into account.

Additionally, most prices for processed foods are almost always under some kind of promotion (especially in major retail chains), which may change the price.

It is important for me to mention that no company or entity paid me directly or indirectly for creating this article.
