Price of protein - Helping you choose the cheapest options (Credit crunch!)

MRENIGMA


Cheapest and the best source of protein is Lamb Liver,
more superior to chicken, turkey etc with 30g of protein per 100grams and £1 will get you 500gram pack - 150grams of protein for a £1 packed with essential B vitamins. 
Sainsburys New Zealand lamb liver is what i get, brilliant for dieting when your not feeling to squeamish, lol. chuck some onions and mint sauce in you wouldn't know what it was.

I usually just steam chicken/turkey breast.

Would be interested in trying this. How do you cook up this BAMF? (bad ass mother f**ker) :D

ha ha, put raw liver in caserole dish, add onions, carrots, lamb stock, mint sauce. cook in oven on 160 for 40mins!!

can fry it if your hardcore! lol

I love doing stuff hardcore. So i shall fry it! haha. thanks for the tips.

Btw, are there any Cons to using liver? I mean, there must be a reason why most BB use chicken/turkey breast or lean beef, instead of using liver. I've only ever known poultry breast and beef :3

Nope, no cons to using Liver, by all means look it up, look at nature predators in the wild like lions etc eat organs meats by priority and leave the muscle meat for the voulchers lol cave men would eat organ meats and give muscle meat to the dogs!!


I knew many 80's pro's who drank blended liver, and minamino, an amino acid drink from liver, splean etc.

Liver is far superior, it has folic acid, B vitamins aswel as 30grams of protein per 100grams, and is cheapest form of protein, whats the catch you ask........ its F@#king Liver!!! lol

hahahha! alright! It's all good then! High protein at a lower cost... can't really ask for anything else! :D

just a little heavy on the cholesterol with the lambs liver

Well Frost you can lower cholesterol by eating fibre, cholesterol is only a problem for fat people!

No mate i make seitan with it. I make it into sausage, pepperoni, steaklets, ground beef style. I even use it in protein pancakes as a flour replacer. Its quite versatile, fat free and low carb too.

It doesn’t look particularly appetising! Does this stuff taste ok??

I've done a little price research looking at some common protein sources (Quark, meats, Soya mince) and graphed them. This graph was mainly for my use, but thought sharing it will help you guys save some cash and help vary your protein intake.
 
Protein prices have increased significantly since i made my last graph, suprised by some items!

Soya mince & Tuna being the cheapest, forgot about eggs & cottage cheese.
 
ASDA Smartprice Natural Low Fat Cottage Cheese (200g) = 77p/50g protein serving. Flavours will increase price significantly!
Eggs(10p per egg average basics/caged range) = 55g/egg   about 80p for 50g assuming whole thing eaten(yolk too)

Itll do for now till i finish allprotien sources

 
hi i have in my hand said brand of cottage cheese
 
nutritional info reads
 
per 100g  protein  10.1g
                carbs        8.4g
                fat             5.0g
 
so for the whole tub of 250g if my maths skills are ok
 
protein becomes 25g  not 50g
 
if i could buy 50g of protein for 77p id never buy shakes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one i have per 100g is;
11.5g protein
3.4g carbs
2.7g fat

£1 for 500g

seems I should have read the ingredients properly then, they are normally twice the price, and normally only grab one if I forget my shake

I dont mind the artiifical flavours, but the hydrogenated fats are a concern :(

thanks for pointing out!

EDIT

where did you get the info fo those bars? they are different to what I am reading on my packet?

 


 

No worries bud!

Ahh sorry mate, I must have got the wrong one/American one! Doh!

http://www.clfdistributio...arChocolateDeluxe.html

ah no worries mate, thanks for looking up anyway.. was starting to feel like I had been cheating eating these :)

they look the same brand, but mae with nasty ingredients compared to the ones in england!

 


 

Does anyone know where you can get tailored nutrition i-e customised nutrition, thanks.

Good graph mate thanks

Nice graph... as the price goes up so does the taste of the products :)

Nice man, helpful! Found me sardines in Asda, in tomato sauce with 27g of protein per tin at 44p a tin, so it's something like 80p for 50g of protein... Slightly (But not much) cheaper than the tuna! :D

it good as price but it has no taste, in fact it tastes awfull :(

Nutritional Supplements

as much as good protein is the vegetable one, for humans i think animal proteins are the best! this is our nature!

Nutritional Supplements

I've heard that the price of protein is increasing. I thought it was just whey protein sports supplements. It's crazy to think that it's protein across the board that is increasing in price.

I think these are the best protein shakes.

So if I popped down to tesco or sainsburys what would good protein deals at the moment be? (apart from tuna which has possibly more than doubled in last 3 years)
protein certainly not cheap these days

I am sure somebody must of mentioned it but I can't see it.

We have a special offer on our gourmet chicken breasts: 20kg for just £99 (you can buy smaller quantities too).

Saw a Morrissons offer the other day which was a 3kg joint of gammon for £6.

£2 a kilo is pretty good, though obviously being cured it'll have higher salt content

Awesome pic, but Tony you're not doing yourself many favours posting up tips on preventing the gag reflex and then a picture of a guy touching his toes - Ak

Morrisons have rump steak on half price at £6 and some change per kilogram!!! Going in early tomorrow morning to empty the shed!

2kg of frozen white fish fillets - may have been basa fillets. Can't remember.

In farm foods.

Also had 3 x 1kg packs of pork loin steaks for a tenner.

I remember reading this a while back a great find, glad its still a sticky.
Living in UK has got tougher over last year or so when this was orginally posted.

 BUFF!

I am getting sick of eating egg ommelettes, anyone have any interesting recipes thats quick?

Does anyone know where i can buy Good Tuna in a can.... Im after a big big bulk load if possible... 50 cans etc

Farmfoods is having an offer on their frozen chicken breasts. 3 x 1kg packs for £10. Think there might be six breasts to a pack, not bad!

very impresive.
 
personally i find going to a local butcher and buying bulk boxes like 5kg fresh chicken fillets for £22 to be of far better quality to eat and cook with. find that supermarket meat has often got hidden ingredients, and their prices are rarely special offers, ready the small writing and look at the price per KG.
i recommend getting friendly with a quality local butcher, theyll help you with everything.
and i hate giving supermarkets ££££

8 tins of asda tuna for £5, has more protein than princes and john west per tin

Worth taking a look at Blackburn Distributions they offer cost effective options for bulk price protein, I think it's something like £35 for 2kg.
