Protein sources – a small spreadsheet i made to track protein per 100 calories, and per dollar.


A gram of protein has 4 calories. That means, the maximum amount of protein per 100 calories is 25.

Shrimp and Pollock have 23g/100C, they are almost 100% protein. They are more protein than any protein powder, and are super cheap too.

    /u/uncle-iroh-11 amazing work!

    Can I suggest adding a column for health and/or max recommended servings per week?

    Eg, most people don’t know not all seafood is “healthy” – shrimp are high in cholesterol. So are eggs, and certain fishes can be high in heavy metals etc etc.
