For myself the breakdown of protein powder vs food is as follows;
Chicken breast;
$9.88 per 1 KG
100 grams chicken breast = 23 grams Protein
$9.88=230 grams protein
$.04 = 1 gram protein
OR
$4.30 = 100 grams protein
Protein Powder
$39.99 = 5 lbs protein powder
30 grams protein powder = 24 grams Protein
$39.00 = 2268 grams protein powder = 1814 grams protein
$.02 = 1 gram of protein
OR
$2.15 = 100 grams protein
Essentially chicken breast which is the only meat I eat for protein ends up being exactly (interestingly enough if math does it for you) twice as much as protein powder as a source for protein.
