As a former night owl student that now works two jobs post grad .. i feel this heavily

Amazing, like a little tribute to a meal that helped you out 😊

Is bread subsidized? Surprised it's cheaper than flour. The cheapest loaf of sliced bread at my grocery store in the US is around 500g and costs more than a 2.2kg bag of white flour (and just a bit less than a bag of whole wheat flour).

If you do go down the road of checking bodybuilding forums, I highly recommend starting with this thread on the bodybuilding.com forums where a bunch of bodybuilders get into a heated argument about how many days are in a week.

Sounds deliciously high in protein, yummy!

Just wait until Apple releases their version and people are lining up around the block.

Isn't their also a cost to prepare/cook most of the items?

Chicken breasts are on sale for $30 for 4kg CAD. That’s probably cheaper than most of those items.

Split peas: they're better than sliced bread.

Fake-Tempura seitan jerky, all made from flour and some oil. Add salt and spices at your own likes.

Just made this halfways up, but going to cook it and try for myself.

I really wish I could find a good source for this, all I know is animal foods have more bioavailable nutrients than plants in general

Me too :). Just finished some as a matter of fact

I was just about to ask why Brad Pitt was connected to Pulp Fiction.

They won't be swole if they're eating this stuff for protein.

Sure, you get protein, and sure, it's cheap, but you also get a ton of CALORIES.

That's the nice thing about "meat" as a protein source. For the amount of protein you get, you get relatively few calories.

Certainly a lot less than if you ate straight yellow split peas for the same amount of protein.

Doing the Lord's work. Now let's do Wal-Mart.

I was surprised by eggs- they are just 10% protein by weight. An average adult would need a dozen per day for protein.

So long as you get your protein from multiple sources (brown bread and beans, or peas and rice for example) you'll be fine in terms of "protein quality"

How about by amount of bioavailable protein?

Any chance you've got data for cheapest source of proteins with at least 20% protein and at most 20% carbs by percent of total weight rather than percent of total calories? I usually stick to meat and fish for my protein because it has a decent amount of protein, some fat and a lot of water so it's not too many calories per meal with good protein intake. Vegetable proteins often come with a lot of either carbs, fats, or both.

Out of curiosity, how far down do you have to go to find the first all-meat protein source, like fish fillets or ground beef? Eggs?

Ah i was zoomed in on my screen and was hoping the whole wheat tiger bread was gonna be the one that wasn't vegan

That's not how this works. We don't absorb protein. We take protein and break it down into amino acids. Amino acids are the same no matter the source. What matters is the distribution of amino acids in food. Combining grains and lentils for example gives you a better bioavailability than meat. There is no such thing as protein quality. We use amino acids and they are all the same.
