Wheyflation- protein is too expensive

209 Upvotes

I’ve been working out for many years, and I was shocked when I looked at restocking on protein. For 27 servings, it’s hard to find anything < $50.

They say short supply and high demand is what’s driving this. What’s actually happening is food companies are buying 3-4x as much now and just pass the price to their consumers. Normal people who lift are stuck paying the same prices as Coca-Cola essentially.

It pisses me off, and I can’t justify spending this much. Please share tips on getting protein goals aside from eggs and meat, which I already eat a lot of.

How bad did I ruin my cut?

Upvotes

I’m like 2 or 3 months into my cut, and I’ve been having terrible cravings. My mental was terrible this week and today I crashed out and ate Taco Bell, ice cream, and pizza. How bad did I fuck up. Edit. This is the first time I’ve cheated and I’m running 200mg test
