Mmmm...estrogen. Yum!I just bought 1% gallon milk at food 4 less for $2.79 that has 176 grams of protein.
They also sold a 60 pack of eggs for $9.99 that's 6 grams of protein each totalling 360 grams and the 1% milk has it beat for protein per/$
Is there a reason to consume protein that way instead of buying a bunch of Arby's roast beef or something? If I need protein for some reason, I may as well enjoy it.Best bang for buck is usually protein powder.

Mostly because it is low calorie and easy. 25g of protein for about 125 calories and 1.5 grams of fat is hard to beat. Hard to get that level of protein with other foods.Is there a reason to consume protein that way instead of buying a bunch of Arby's roast beef or something?

Actually whey is a byproduct of cheese production - but generally yes you're correct - whey is just the skimmed protein from milk product that has very little fat or carbohydrate content (unlike pure milk)Aren't most cheap protein powders made from whey which is the same thing as milk?
Thanks. I guess that makes sense that it's used for protein powder then.Actually whey is a byproduct of cheese production - but generally yes you're correct - whey is just the skimmed protein from milk product that has very little fat or carbohydrate content (unlike pure milk)
I buy non-fat dry milk powder, which AFAIK is 0% fat and AFAIK just as good a source of protein and cheaper than 1% gallons from where ever.I just bought 1% gallon milk at food 4 less for $2.79 that has 176 grams of protein.

I never buy yogurt anymore. What I do is use my nonfat milk powder and kefir starter to make kefir a quart at a time. When my quart gets low I pour about 2 oz. into a sterilized quart bottle, add about 3.2 oz. NFDM powder, add tap water, shake, put in my ~85 degree oven (the pilot light keeps it about that). After a day, I have a new full quart bottle of kefir. I add anything I want to that, which can be a ripe banana, blueberries, etc.I'm not always looking for cheap. I'm not a huge milk drinker, but in working on increasing my protein intake...I buy blueberries and mix them into some lowfat cottage cheese. I believe that to be better for you than buying yogurt which usually has a bunch of sugar in it.

Just about all Costco supplied for the USA chart. They had notfat dry milk at Costco, but they don't sell it anymore. I get mine at Walmart. Less than $15 for a 64oz box that makes 20 quarts. Pinto beans is not a complete protein source.Scooby has a pretty good chart for cheap protein sources:

Beans win @ 17 cents per 30g protein

Milk might be cheap, but I can't drink it anymore. The phlem I get from dairy is unbearable. I do Almond milk. It's more expensive, and the protein sucks but I do get enough anyway. You don't need as much protein as the YTbers, and media tells you. 0.5-0.8 grams for most people is good enough.
There is normally no advantage to consuming more than 0.82g/lb (1.8g/kg) of protein per day to preserve or build muscle for natural trainees. This already includes a mark-up, since most research finds no more benefits after 0.64g/lb.
you could just eat the almonds and drink some water. 1 ounce of almonds has 6 grams of protein. 1 cup of almond milk has 1 gram of protein (less than 3 ounces of almonds in a gallon of milk). 1 cup of cow milk has 8 grams of protein.Milk might be cheap, but I can't drink it anymore.

Even when I was lifitng weights more I was shooting for 0.5+ grams per pound of body weight. And it worked well. I thin on a good day I was getting 120 grams on my 200 pound frame. On bad days 80. It probably averaged right around 105 or 110.
More is probably better but I think most people do't realize that taking in 1 gram per pound is for elite level athletes and not useful for many others.
