minus-squareAnivia@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoNot 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
minus-squareHawk@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoYeah 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: Peanut butter (mono) Sunflower oil (poly) WPC (protein with good amino profile) Celery (insoluble fiber) Psyllium husk (soluble fiber) Rice (carbs, low gi)
