Makes sense to me. Thanks Beretta!

I get everything except the $2. protein bars. The folks in the survey ate a protein bar every three hours? I smell a protein bar commercial. You've already got the protein covered with the cheap beans.

$2 per 3 ounce protein bar is hardly a good use of resources.

I suppose they were trying to throw something out there for those that refuse to cook.

The protein bars struck me as odd as well.

This form of protein is cheaper..

Yeah deep six those protein bars if your looking for nutrition on a budget. A 180lbs man can get all the protein he needs for about $1.50 worth of chicken breasts a day about at 99cents a pound. Plus a good portion of the calories intake as well if you leave the skin on. Toss in one or two hard boiled eggs for about 10cents apiece and you can drop to about 1.00 of chicken breasts. If you find a deal on Turkey breast the price per gram of protein is even cheaper because of its higher protein content. If you can find some cheap beef liver thats another good one for the budget.

I used to spend a bit of time on these numbers when I was an amateur competitive power lifter back in the 80's.
