Dairy and eggs
Some of the best-value everyday protein there is.
How to get the best value
Dairy and eggs are usually the cheapest animal protein by a wide margin. Compare quark, skyr and cottage cheese by protein per 100 g — the high-protein ones are excellent value — and buy eggs and milk in the largest size you will use.
Usually the best value
Eggs, milk, quark and plain yoghurt are consistently cheap per gram of protein. Flavoured yoghurts and small single-serve pots cost far more for the same nutrition.
