Lidl Protein

Dos anyone reckon their new offer is value for money, or false economy?

Seems cheap - too cheap to be useful?

Cheap? It's daylight robbery expensive!!

Tefral

Very expensive OP. The tub is less than a Kilogram.

Log on to bulk powders or discountsupplements or one of those sites and you'll get it for much cheaper delivered to your door.

It's what you'd expect from Lidl tbh, here's the breakdown on the protein powder.

only 46% protein per serving.

If you're gonna buy protein, buy a reputable brand from a decent shop/website.

I wouldn't buy it because of the soy protein content, not for any other reason (it's definitely not 'really expensive' either)

Its expensive for the protein % you get. nearly 19 euro for a kg of only 46% protein. myprotein/bulkpowders are cheaper per kg and have like 50% more protein in them.

I did a comparison between a few suppliers a couple weeks ago:

Holland and Barrett is the most expensive and lowest protein % of the lot.

lidl: 908g for 16.99 euro = 18.71 a kg, 46.6% protein
h+b: 1.8kg for 46 euro = 25.55 euro a kg, 74% protein
kinetica: 2.27 kg for 48 euro = 21.14 euro a kg, 76.6% protein
myprotein: 2.5kg for 43.94 = 17.58 euro a kg, 75.44% protein
bulkpowders: 2.5kg for 45.81 euro = 18.34 euro a kg , 77.33% protein

all protein %s are based on the chocolate flavour and i calced the price based around 2-2.5kg amount with delivery. You can get better prices for buying 5kg or multiples.

I may have been to only one confused by your numbers, but I have worked it out at price (cent) per gram of protein (as opposed to price per kilogram of powder at a specific percentage of protein) based on the prices and weights above:


Lidl 4c per gram protein
Holland and Barrett 3.5c per gram of protein
Kinetica 2.8c per gram protein
Bulk Powders 2.4c per gram protein
My Protien 2.3c per gram protein

That explains your quick working out of the cost per gram so

I just bought a 908g tub of choc flavoured 'Nutrisport 90+Protein powder' in <mod snip>. Bought that instead of the lidl one because - this one advertised 86% of Protein per 100g of powder. Lidls one advertising 46% of protein per 100g powder, thats nearly double the amount of protein for the same amount, the Nutrisport also had less grammes of fat, carbs, sodium, fibre was 1.9g, kcal 376 per 100g which is similar to the lidl one. Hope this is helpfull!
