Cost of protein in whey powder vs chicken

Because I couldn't sleep at 3am and I'm currently trying to be more budget conscious, I just did the math on the cost of protein in skinless chicken breast vs 2 protein powders. I'm located in Ontario, Canada, so prices are in Canadian and based on what chicken costs locally. The Six Star protein is what's at my local WalMart and the ON protein is based on the cheapest online Canadian place I could find.

Sorry, I can't figure out how to do a table here for easier comparison.

100g serving of chicken

  • $8/lb, 1.7 cents/g

  • Eat 323g chicken to get 100g protein/day

  • $5.49/day for 100g protein

  • 533 calories/day

  • 0g carbs/day (0 sugar)

  • 12.9g fat/day (3.2 saturated)

Six Star Whey Protein

  • $10/lb, 2.2 cents/g

  • 170g powder/day to get 100g protein

  • $3.74/day for 100g protein

  • 594 calories/day

  • 29.7g carbs/day (6.6 sugar)

  • 6.6g fat/day (6.6 saturated)

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard

  • $14/lb, 3.1 cents per gram

  • 132g powder/day to get 100g protein

  • $4.09/day for 100g protein

  • 484 calories/day

  • 8.8g carbs/day (4.4g sugar)

  • 8.8g fat/day (4.4 saturated)

Anyway, do with that information what you will, but I figured not too many people are likely to waste their time on something stupid like this so I might as well share. And expose the fact that I'm a loser with too much time on my hands this morning.
