Meat and fish
Getting the most protein per euro from meat and fish.
How to get the best value
Meat and fish prices swing widely, so compare per 100 g of protein and watch for bulk and frozen savings. Bone-in and whole cuts are usually cheaper per gram of protein than trimmed fillets, if you are willing to do a little more work.
Usually the best value
Whole chicken, chicken thighs, canned tuna and mackerel, pork shoulder and frozen white fish tend to offer the most protein per euro. Pre-sliced deli meat and premium fillets are among the most expensive ways to buy protein.
