Costco has optimum nutrition bag that has 80 servings for less than 70$. I saw the same bag at a nutrition store for 200..
It's the same in Italy. I've been buying 5 kg of protein from the same website for years. Back in January I paid €80 for them, but now I had to buy only 2.5 kg for €70 because they've become way too expensive.
Check out the shop app. Ig it came from factory on IPhone. I opened it once for shits & giggles & haven’t gotten protein anywhere else since. The “deals” tabs has great deals on hella brands & rotate. Just seen 1st phorm is $30 off over $50.
Brother for $130 you could buy 130 pounds of chicken drum sticks and each one has 20g of protein and that will last you way longer
Please do not rely on a protein supplements.
To answer your question , private equity in concert with major corporations has moved in on the Whey Protein space.
So price has skyrocketed while quality has plummeted.
Just eat food bro.
It is everything the body needs
Yep, and now it seems there is protein everything. For example “protein” pop tarts that only have like 3g more protein than the original lol
Costco has some protein bags like 5.5lbs for $80
Reddit turned a bunch of 16 year olds into Tren addicted whey sucking “bodybuilders”
Bro 16 year olds have been tren addicted whey sucking “body builders” for decades. Ask me how I know.. it’s because I was a 16 year old tren addicted whey sucking body builder way back before Reddit was ever a thing. Lmao!
You could also reverse that Statement and question how a Vial of Testosterone is more expensive than ANY tub of protein powder given it costs no more than $1 to make including the vial lol
All the companies are buying up all the whey (causing a whey shortage) and making all these bullshit “protein” snacks and foods. It’s all the rage to put the word “protein” on food labels these days and charge double for it
Perfect example: have you seen the “protein” pop tarts??
Why the fuck would I want protein in my pop tart
Fucking protein cheese puffs lol. Pisses me off cause it’s just marketing to make fat people feel better, cause we all know they act allergic to chicken and rice. We are yet again getting taxed for lazy people.
Cmon Bro. When someone thinks of optimal fitness everyone immediately thinks "Cheese Puffs"
And you can’t buy the cheap protein powder becuase irs underdosed and full of contaminants
Also just plain right out disgusting. Have you tried the fruit loop protein powder? Shit tastes like straight up chemicals, smells exactly like the cereal though.
I just bought some of the protein Doritos. Don’t hate, it’s the only junk food I have had in 6 months. I have like 5 chips at a time after my nasty ass tuna.
You can find 10lb bags on Amazon for $185
