In 2008, protein prices went through the roof due to a shortage of protein and more demand in Asian countries.  However, prices started to stabalize last September or so, and now, some companies are starting to lower their protein prices just a bit.

$24.99 for a 2lb jub is ok, depending on what kind of protein it is.  There are many type of protein out there, but use the Nutrition Board for that discussion.

The demand from China, Japan, Kong Kong, Phillipines and other countries in that area were greater than expected in 2008.

A lot of protein comes from New Zealand, thus much of that was diverted to those countries.

Things have stabalized now, especially with the world economy not doing great.

or $25 i can get 20lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast.  This equates to 80 servings,  35.6 g protein each, 189 cals, 2g fat.  How many servings of protein powder do you get for that price?

where do u pay a buck a lb for boneles chicken breast?? i pay 79c/lb for a whole chicken and thats a really good rare deal. porterhouse steaks are 5.49/lb right now at my store

and the whey is for post workout. chicken is not ad good post workout
Title: Re: Did I get ripped off from GNC on protein?
Post by: HTexan on January 14, 2009, 07:19:36 PM
3.5 oz chicken breast has 30 grams of protein.
20 pounds = 320 ounces
320 / 3.5 = 91.4285714 x 30= 2 742.85714
So there is 2742.86 grams of protein in 20 lbs of chicken breast.
H.E.B sell CB at 3.99 a lb.
so $80 bucks + taxes gives you 27423 grams of protein?
someone check my math ;D

gnc whey protein has 5440 for 20 lbs at 19.00 on website without gold card.
97.55 + taxes to get the same amount of protein
75 bucks + taxes if you used the gold card tho.

I put whey in a shaker with 5g glutamine, 5g creatine, and 80g dextrose in my gym bag.  After I lift but before cardio I drink this with 32oz water and take 8-10 units of Novolog.

Whole food is always better for your metabolism but after workout you want faster digesting protein

Gotta agree with Chick here. My orders arrive the very next day and prices are really good. OP Gold Standard Whey is $80.00 for 10lbs.

I buy the brandname that BB.com owns, higher power? or something. 10 lbs for around 65 bucks. Something like that, although protein use to be a lot cheaper when i first ordered from BB.com.....and the shipping was a dollar less too....
