Elk is a good addition to that list. It's mild like beef but less fat and more protein than chicken plus the grass fed elk has omega 3 FA.
$ per lb vs chicken? My guess it's way more expensive...
Not cheap but not all that expensive either. Chicken isn't so cheap here as in the USA.0 -
I've had elk sausage before. Damn good stuff, but I've yet to find a source to buy my own elk. I love the gamier tasting meats1

Fortunately, there is a game farm just on the outskirts of town. It's hilarious since they also have a petting zoo and two signs one for the petting zoo right next to the game meats sign.

Most of the commercialized protein powders u find on the shelves in retail stores have relatively low protein content per serving size. It says "25g per serving!!!" But the serving size may be 30g to even 40g. Then they fill the rest with things you don't need, more fat, more carbs/sugar to make it taste better. Most of them equal less than 60% protein for top $. Waste of money. I use MYPROTEIN it had a much higher protein content at 75% +. And the unflavored has even more 95% (20g protein per 25g scoop) 1.5g fat, 0 carb 100 cal). 5 lb bag is $60. Then I add my flavoring a like berries, cocoa, peanut butter whatever. It comes down to personal preference. If u don't mind spending your hard earned $ on low quality protein just for it to taste better then by all means... Find something that agrees with your stomach and your wallet. Good luck
@allenbrowning do you have any issues with bloating with the MyProtein? I looked at it and it would be more economical for me to purchase this protein. But the protein powder I use is unflavored and doesn't give me any stomach issues.
I haven't had any issues but that's not to say u won't. Everyone's body is different as u know. I say give it a shot. Not sure where u live but in the US it's less than $60 shipped. us.myprotein.com
Thanks! I compared the ingredients to the protein I use, and it's the exact same thing. Only MyProtein is cheaper. I'm so happy I saw your post
Awesome glad to help. Let me know what u think
I will. They also have a coupon going right now until 2/8/15, if anyone else wanted to try it.0 -

That gave me a good laugh. Reminds me of a picture I saw awhile back...
Ok, back to protean.0 -

Yep. They're always having deals. Before u buy let me know and I'll give u a code for a discount0 -
Myprotein is great, but I'd also look into true nutrition. They have some amazing deals on there for protein, BCAAs, carbs, etc. They have lots of flavors including all natural ones, and I highly recommend their oatmeal. There's like 20 flavors to choose from, but I stick with the pancakes and syrup.0

Is it wrong that this thread is making me want to learn how to hunt?1

The cheapest protein you can stand the taste of is the best protein IMO0

I use EAS Chocolate flavored protein and Vega Chocolate and only because I don't always reach my macros w/out it. It is convenient, but by no means some turbo boost.0

to compare the actual cost of protein I'd multiple the grams per serving by the number of servings per container and then divide the cost by that number and then you'll know how much you are actually paying for the protein per gram.
after doing that calculation choose the cheapest one you can stomach lol0 -
Greek yoghurt. I'm made of it basically, with berries almonds, jam or syrup or honey, oh GOD I'm so hungry........0

Good rule of thumb to use in everything purchased. Great post!0 -
Platinum pre by optimum nutrition works for me, I feel like it does a really good job of being a thermo genic and good pre workout for focus, for protein just go with any whey however I feel a blend is the best, try Intek evolution protein powder, it's got a blend of whey isolate, casein, and egg protein0
