The extra protein I get from whey powder is about 62 cents per day. It's
$22 for a 5 pound tub. A 32 gram scoop of whey powder contains 22 grams
of protein. 5 lbs = 2,268 grams. A 5 pound tub contains 71 servings. If I
have 2 scoops a day. It comes out to about 62 cents per day for 44 grams
of protein.
