 Question is from Andrew Beth, if on a budget, what are some of the higher quality protein sources you recommend buying? I put this question in here because I get asked it a lot, yeah, but be careful with that statement. When you, you pay, you typically pay for what you get with protein. The biggest difference in price when you go look at a, a jug of protein that's being sold for maybe $24 versus one that's being sold for 50 or 70, it's the amount of protein per serving that's in there. That's the biggest difference. The margins with supplement companies, there isn't really this like massive difference where like, oh, this company is just way cheaper and it's great quality than this company. It's like the discrepancy in the $20 to $50 or $70 bottles, like why are they so different but they're shaped about the same size is when you flip the label around and you actually measure out how many grams of protein and how many servings you're actually getting, that's the biggest difference. The difference between a protein powder that is claiming that it's extremely cheap, a lot of the times what they're doing is they're, they have 14 grams of protein in their serving. So of course it's cheaper. The most expensive part of the protein powder is the protein. So you got to be careful of that. Then you have other companies that aren't paying for third party testing, which is expensive to do. So that's why they have to normally pay for or charge a little more for it. So if you go for the cheapest protein all the time, you got to be careful that you're not getting somebody who's won just making it look like it's a great deal, but when you actually measure out all the grams of protein per serving, it's really not. And then in addition to that, they're also not third party tested. And so they don't have to spend that money on it. So I caution people that are just trying to save, you know, five bucks on a protein powder because of this. You look at it per serving. It's not that big of a difference. Yeah. And then they've had in the past companies that have done what's called amino acid spiking. So what they'll do is they'll, so proteins are made up of chains of amino acids. And one way, and I'm going to simplify this a little more complicated, but a company will get tested on their grams of protein by testing certain amino acids. And then because there's so much of, you know, leucine or whatever, they can estimate, oh, this is how many grams of protein. So what some companies did is instead of having 30 grams of protein, they had 30 grams of a particular amino acid that would show up. So then they'd get tested. It would get verified. They had much that much protein. But then when other testing came out, they got even more specific in detail. They found, uh-oh, there's half as much protein, as they said. Now I'm going to go the whole food route. So the whole food route, what foods can you get? That'll give you, you know, good protein at good prices. You can actually do pretty well with this. Tuna fish is a very inexpensive source of protein. You can buy chicken breasts and chicken thighs and bulk, really, really good prices, where you're having, you know, a couple of dollars a serving of 30 grams of protein if you buy bags of, you know, bulk of chicken breasts and chicken thighs. Here's another great, great source of protein that's really, really good, well priced. Grobes and crickets. Yeah, go outside. Nobody will do it, but it's a really high source of protein. Look into it. It is, but if you don't want to eat bugs, if you can tolerate dairy, cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is cheap, high protein source. You could go the full fat route if you want higher calories. You could go the lower non-fat route if you want to go low calories. This was a staple when I was growing up trying to increase my protein intake, increase my calories. I would go to the store. I'd buy a big jug of cottage cheese and, you know, I'd have 100 grams of protein for the whole day and it wouldn't cost me more than six bucks or something like that. So you can get real, you can get inexpensive with all kinds of food if you're smart. Now here's where it gets expensive, eating out. If you're trying to get 30 to 40 grams of protein in a serving and you're eating at Chipotle or the burger place or wherever, yeah, you're going to be spending 1000 bucks or more a month on getting that kind of stuff. But if you buy in bulk, especially if it's frozen, you can go to the grocery store or buy a big bag of frozen chicken thighs or frozen chicken breasts. Oh my gosh, man, it's really inexpensive. You could do really well. And to that point, if you're cooking your food, that is by far the best advice. If you're looking for something fast and you're either eating out or you're having a protein shake, your protein shake is going to be way cheaper when you measure out what it is. Still, yeah, it's still cheaper. Yeah, if you were to, like to your point, Sal, if you go to your favorite restaurant and you get a, you know, 40 gram of protein meal, which is normally steak or a chicken type of thing. Minimum eight bucks. Yeah, minimum. Most likely you're paying like 15 to 25 bucks or what about that? I mean, the shake per serving, you're probably breaking it down to like two dollars. Yeah, a couple bucks. Yeah. So you're still, when you're talking about getting proteins expensive, no matter where you get it, right? Like, and unless you get it in bulk, like you're saying and you're just buying chicken thigh, and I love this, I love to recommend chicken thighs. Like, I wish somebody would have turned me on to that. I fell into the like, oh, we need to eat a chicken breast all the time when I was younger. And so I was wasting all this money on chicken breast when I was trying to grow and get bigger anyways, I should have been doing thighs that had more fat, they taste better, and they have almost as damn much protein as the chicken breast does. So that's a great piece of advice, but be careful on trying to save, you know, 10 dollars, like if there's a difference between a bottle that is like literally 10, $20, $30 difference, it's not the brand. It's like what they're getting, like turn the label around and actually count out how many servings are in it and how many grams of protein per serving, and most likely the difference of that $20 more expensive bottle, that's the main reason. The second main reason is because they probably do third party testing, and then the other company doesn't. So for fish, you know, it's relatively inexpensive tilapia, you can buy tilapia also. And then I said tuna fish, I mean, eggs, eggs are relatively inexpensive, like you could totally do this and save a lot of money, you just have to cook your food at home. That's the biggest piece of advice that I have. Even with steak, or excuse me, red meat. Get yourself a George Foreman grill. Oh, dude, that was the key. Life saver. That was, yeah, same thing. Oh, ground beef. Ground beef, you can buy big ass packs of bulk ground beef, and it's relatively inexpensive. It's always on sale, too. Totally, totally.
