How I calculate
- Price per 10 g protein = the price of the pack ÷ the protein in the pack × 10. The protein is from the nutrition label of the same product, per 100 g.
- Eggs are counted without the shell (88% of the weight, from the Norwegian Food Composition Table). Tuna is counted by drained weight.
- kcal per 10 g protein shows how much energy comes with the protein.
