Not including protein powders in the protein chart is pretty stupid. Whey protein is cheaper per gram than anything else on that chart, and vegan protein powders (like soy or pea protein) are even cheaper
Yeah corn syrup be about a couple of cents on this plot.
It would be much more interesting to see this in terms of a combination of protein, unsaturated fats And micronutrients.
Like which combination is the cheapest of all?
I suspect it would be something like:
Let's call out complete proteins too. Otherwise you still have to mix and match food sources. Soy would probably win.
It depends on the country for soy. Objectively in the absence of interference, it's cheaper and still relatively complete.
But for whatever reason, a lot of Western governments like the US and Australia heavily subsidise animal proteins, so I think in those regions WPC still has a slight edge.
Then again a lot of people struggle with lactose And soy is probably cheaper than WPI.
Gainz is work haha.
