THE IRON WAY
What does your protein really cost?
Compare foods and supplements using the price and nutrition values from their labels.
Use the package label
PROTEIN VALUE
Cost per 25g of protein
CA$1.25
CA$1.20 per serving · 600g protein per package
Package price ÷ total protein × 25.
Compare like-for-like prices, including delivery where relevant. This measures cost, not nutritional quality.
Put the number in context
This tool uses the exact values you enter and performs no currency conversion. Use the same currency when comparing products. For foods without a labelled serving count, divide the package weight by the portion weight first.
A lower price per gram does not mean a better diet. Compare taste, other nutrients, allergens and convenience alongside the cost.
