How many average daily doses of protein are we getting for $30?
Ok, I saw 16 servings per container, so 48 days of protein.
Best by date = 2/28/26 - 4/31/26. Without definite info, we have to assume worst case scenario of 2/28.
If I buy this, then I will assume it gets here on say … January 24. That gives me 8 January days + 28 February days = 36 days to use this stuff up. Therefore, I think I need to be cloned to eat all 48 servings before they go beyond their best buy date.
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I could use the protein powder as the basis for making a pseudo-gollum clone. Each bag weighs 1 lb. I weigh about 135 lb. 135 / 3 bags = 45 orders => 45 * $30 = $1350 .
I need to think about this. Cloning myself for $1350 sounds like a deal, but if my clone turns out to be as lazy as me, is this really a net gain for OG-me?

@cfg83 You wouldn’t need anywhere near that much protein powder since a clone would be well over 90% water, just like you. But it’s going to be real fun rounding up the rest of the ingredients and inventing the memory transfer interface that you’ll need if you don’t plan to spend a decade and a half teaching the clone enough to be useful.
@werehatrack Of course, why I didn’t see that. My apologies.
… Encabulation batch job #2 in progress …
I weigh about 135 lb. 90% water => 10% solid body mass => 13.5 lb of protein powder => 13.5 / 3 bags = 4.5 orders => 5 orders => 5 * $30 = $150 .
Now, at first that looks like a super-duper bargain. HOWEVER, everyone knows that clones are not 90% normal water. They are 90% HEAVY WATER, aka deuterium. In my clone above, you can see that reflected in his imposing visage.
Despite what health and wellness influencers would have you believe, if you are eating even a relatively balanced diet, you are almost definitely getting enough protein without the need for supplements
This is massively dependent on lifestyle.
If the extent of your physical activity is walking your dog and doing light yard work on weekends, you can definitely get enough protein from a standard well-balanced diet.
If you’re consistently doing even moderately strenuous exercise (riding a bike or running 2-3 times a week for fitness, doing any kind of strength training routine), it’s possible to have a protein deficiency if you don’t intentionally adjust your diet. If you’re consistently doing intense cardio workouts and strength training, doing it with diet alone becomes annoying/difficult (I can only eat so much chicken breast and tuna).
I understand wanting to counter the ridiculous and overly aggressive tone of many fitness advertiser and influencers, but there’s a significant percentage of the population that actually can benefit from protein supplements.
It’s similar to water intake: people on the lower end of the activity spectrum don’t need to drink anywhere near the apocryphal 64oz a day (which is essentially random anyway), much less take electrolyte supplements. But higher activity levels mean sweating and increased respiration, which should be accounted for.

Is this better than baby powder?
@yakkoTDI Only if you snort it.
I’m missing what ‘expires’ when while I look at the specs…
@actionPacked click the arrows
@actionPacked @troy Pumpkin and Watermelon seeds are 4/26. All the rest are 2/26.
Ah. Arrrrrroooowwwwwws. Thanks @Troy
And also thanks to @therealjrn for allowing me to continue to ignore them!
When you Cut the Bull you get a Steer, and I will Steer clear of this deal.
@hchavers It would take a lot of balls for there to be an offer of calf fries over on Side Deal.
@hchavers
/giphy I saw what you did there
Which one of you meh fuckers are trying gains? Well, other than fat gains.
Not-meat “protein powder” isn’t what this non-plant craves.

@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “mad scientist making clone using 135 bags of protein powder.”
@cfg83 An alternative use of a flux capacitor
@mediocrebot If that is my 135 lb clone, then he/I must be 3 feet tall. Also, he looks like he/I could beat me up.
That settles it. I will NOT buy this stuff because my clone will inevitably replace me.

That sounds like a Udder,y Moooooing good deal.
Nah, I’ll just stick to my powdered veal…
Who going to use all that in 2-3 months?

Wonder how much lead is in these
