    Well only a quarter of that fillet minion would be actual protein for one.

    The box of 20 nuggets is apparently 320g, so let’s round up to 333g for easy maths. $15 for a kilo of nuggets. And conveniently ~15% protein.

    So a steak has 2/3 more protein, we can buy less for the same overall protein

    At least where I’m from, I don’t think I’m getting 2/3 of a kilo of cooked fillet minion for anything close to $15 (cheapest I can find with a quick Google is a raw one from Aldi at £7 for 170g = $9.50, so $38 for roughly 2/3 of a kg, might be able to do better at Costco or something)

        Oh for sure, I’m not saying someone with a choice between the two should go for the nuggets.

        Hell, I certainly wish I had the disposable income to be happily having someone cook me a kilo of fillet mignon every day. Though, my insides probably wouldn’t be too pleased after a few days…

        But yes, if someone wants 50g of protein, is out somewhere away from home and only wants to spend a fiver, there’s not a load of options, and this was always a good one when I was more strapped for cash.
