What is the cheapest protein?

[Abe Lincoln]

As wondering on this, I can get milk protein for 8.36USD each pound. So is there a food that beats this? The milk protein has 15 servings and each serving is 24g of protein.

Muscletech is slightly cheaper at SAMs. Not sure the few dollars is worth it tho.

Aren't they spike? I was just asking overall protein, like from foods. Preferably not spiked lol. I might be going on that homeless man diet, so just wanted to know the cheapest source for protein.

No, boneless skinless breasts. I think whole quarters are $1.30 or less. Not sure about whole chickens.

I paid 1.19 a lb for the chicken thighs from Purdue. With skin and bones, but still can'that that price. Plus purdue uses no hormones. Not sure about the feed tho...

I just need the cheapest quality protein. To me powder is still quality and if it is cheaper than food that is all that matters.

Now what do you think is the cheapest best quality carb? Simple and complex? I'm thinking white rice for simple, but not sure on the cheapest for complex. Maybe oats?

At SAMs a couple months back I saw Arnold's protein on sale...can't remember size or price but it was the large tub and remember thinking damn that's a good buy. I was stocked up at the time so I didn't get any. So yeah, check SAMs or Costco for all of that stuff.
