How to work out the price per gram of protein

The tub price alone is misleading, because tubs differ in servings and in protein per serving. The right way is to divide the price by the actual protein in the tub:

• Protein in the tub = servings × grams of protein per serving (from the label or product page).
• Price per gram = tub price ÷ protein in the tub.
• Example: Care Tech has 33 servings × 25 g = 825 g of protein. At EGP 1,510, that is EGP 1.83 per gram, or about EGP 46 per 25 g serving.
• Watch the scoop size: 21 g of protein in a 40 g scoop is not the same as 27 g in a 30 g scoop.

Isolate or concentrate? An element-by-element comparison

The clearest comparison is Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud's two products, from the same brand and the same size (1 kg, 33 servings):

So here the isolate is cheaper per gram even though the tub costs more. For the difference between whey types in detail, see our guide to whey protein types.

Comparison table: sorted by price per gram of protein

Products we could not calculate: Novogen Isolate, Novogen 100% Whey, Dymatize ISO100, Nitro-Tech, Nitro Tech Whey Gold, Whey Legend, UPI and Commandos. Their pages lack the serving count or the protein per serving, so we will not guess.

Which one suits you?

• You want the cheapest protein and drink it daily: Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud Isolate 2.25 kg, or Iso Legend.
• Your budget is one 1 kg tub: Care Tech Isolate, or TVN Concentrate.
• Lactose bothers you: choose an isolate labelled lactose-free, or the beef-based Clear protein, and ask a pharmacist if symptoms are severe.
• You want a global brand: Gold Standard, but you pay almost double per gram.
• First time trying: a small tub such as Vee Peptide, or a 30-serving tub.

Can protein powder replace food?

No. Harvard Health says most people get enough protein from ordinary food: eggs, poultry, fish, dairy, legumes and nuts. Harvard's Nutrition Source says adults need at least 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, and needs vary with age, exercise and health. Powder is a convenient top-up if you cannot reach your needs from food.

If you are comparing with casein, see whey protein vs casein.

Common mistakes

• Comparing by tub price: the EGP 1,110 tub costs twice as much per gram as the EGP 3,550 tub.
• Ignoring sugar and calories: Harvard Health says some powders have up to 23 g of added sugar per scoop, so read the label.
• Taking more than the label says: stick to the serving on the tub.
• Assuming every protein is whey: Clear protein, for example, is beef protein.

FAQ

The bottom line

Compare by price per gram of protein, not by tub price. The cheapest right now are Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud Isolate 2.25 kg and Care Tech Isolate. Concentrate is not always cheaper, and global brands cost you almost double per gram. Ordinary food should stay the base.
