Based on ON Gold Whey 5lbs (70 servings) for approximately RM220 which gives you 24g protein per serving. So it's around RM3 for 24g of protein.

The only food I know that gives you more than 24g of protein for RM3 is eggs. One large egg (50g) gives you around 6g of protein and it costs like 40 cents perhaps (higher side) ?

peanut butter.
aroundy RM11 / for the roughly 450gm jar of 14 servings.
each serving has 8gm protein...so 24gm protein is basically RM2.40.

correct, however not the best choice if you're on a cut. sad.gif 1 serving = close to 200 cals i think due to the high fat content.

That's true. I'm cutting now so whey protein offers the most protein per calorie.

Wonder how you cut on it. I rather get my 25g protein from chicken breast/fish/some meat when cutting cause that fast absorbing light whey drink just makes me hungry again in 30mins. Cannot tahan.

It's actually to fill up my macro requirement for the day, that is 120g of protein without going overboard with the calories.
I still eat my chicken, fish, eggs, etc smile.gif

You actually don't need 120g of protein, unless your bodyweight is 120kg. Check the other thread here for more info.

i thought got diff schools of thought?
some say 0.5gm / kg enough for maintenance up to 0.8gm etc.

anyway, depending what food u eat...
protein powder can be cheaper, but obviously not as filling.
remember when u cook also need gas, oil, veggies, and dunno what else u feel like throwing in unless u want a bland tasting meal tongue.gif

Hmm then the article is kinda conflicting with those who are following Leangains Intermittent Fasting (and had great result with it).

As for me, i'm happy with my 0.8 - 1 gram per "pound" of lean body mass. to others, i'd suggest you stay consistent with your diet and you'll do just fine. if you're not recovering fast enough, experiment by increasing the protein intake.

Try increasing veg consumption and foods high on the satiety index (e.g. boiled potatoes).

On the same topic of satiety promoting foods, fats (especially bakery products with plenty of fats and sugar) don't seem to work as well as potatoes, fish, and fibrous fruits like orange, and of course, vegetables.
