I've put together a Google Spreadsheet Comparing different Brands and Sellers for Best Price.

People are free to add and update other brands etc.

You've the wrong price in for Impact Whey. It's e57, not e70. (protein content is 20.5 too).

It's not something that I'd be too bothered about but an exercise like this shows how only MP, as far as I can see, give the dry-basis protein content and the 'as is' protein content.

Yeah , its the only one I've come across.
Cheers Mellor it's all been updated to reflect!

Protein should be listed on the as-is basis to list on dry basis is misleading.

I'd agree with you there.

I bet all manufacturers are listing on the dry basis on labels as it benefits them.

It depends what's in the tub though.
If a 5KG tub contains 5kg of powder dry, and its actual weight is now higher due to absorbing moisture from the air, then its not an issue as the total protein would match the label.

However, if they are selling 5kg of protein as-is, then then they are misleading people. A small amount, but marginal gains and all that.

It's going to be the second one.

its 71 for flavored, would it not be best to have them all priced like for like

Well the thread title is cheap whey protein , The cheapest is the unflavoured stuff. Definitely worth going the unflavoured route and saving 20quid if you're on a budget or want to avoid the flavourings and sweeteners.

It's specifically asks for natural prices at the top of the spread sheet.
I'm sure the BP Pure Whey would be c.70 for flavoured also.

MP and BP have pretty similar pricing, they really make a show of their competitors. I can't see a reason to go elsewhere given the prices.

I'll add in flavored proteins in a separate part today after work.

And their delivery is cheaper than competitors too

There's now a flavored and unflavored Tab , Doesn't change the rankings , but it does show you how much extra you're paying for flavouring.
about 40c Per scoop.
