If anybody can come up with a cheaper source of protein (not counting bodily fluids), I'd love to hear it.

taking it a bit further...let's say your goal was to eat 300g of protein per day. you could (i'm not recommending this, but you could) eat only egg whites, and that would cost you a bit under $5.00 a day for your protein needs in total.


i guess if you don't really care about eating a buttload of cholesterol, you can get even more protein per penny out of eggs...if you ate the whole egg, you'd get 112g of protein per dollar, or 1.12g of protein per penny. 300g of protein would cost you less than $2.70.

how's that for bang for your buck?
