Speaker A
Based on the price per gram of protein, dear friends, from the most expensive to the cheapest source, we are beginning. Let's go. So, dear friends, our ranking opens with a drinkable product. Yogurt. It takes twelfth place. I was drinking this yogurt even
Speaker A
before the first protein shakes appeared. Now, the shelves are completely stocked with protein shakes.
Speaker A
You must choose plain drinkable yogurt, yes, so there are no added sugars or extra calories. Again, if we are talking about reducing calorie intake, there is this type of yogurt, not necessarily this specific brand. Such yogurt is available from other brands
Speaker A
as well. It costs around 70 rubles. Actually, I bought this one for 69 rubles. There isn't a whole lot of protein here, of course. Well, there aren't many calories either.
Speaker A
Accordingly, there are 9 grams of protein per bottle. That means 1 gram of protein costs us 7.5 rubles. But overall, I can say that this isn't exactly a fundamental protein source.
Speaker A
It's just for when you sometimes want something tasty to drink. Something to drink without added sugars, without extra calories, without fats, and so on. Just something healthy to drink, really. In principle, it's a good alternative if you don't want to spend
Speaker A
a lot of money; after all, a protein shake now costs around 150 rubles. Not all of them, but on average in the market, yes. And this one is twice as cheap. Well, accordingly, there is less protein, of course. But again, for
Speaker A
those who don't strictly need to supplement protein. I used to choose this one. I also used it in recipes often, because with liquid yogurt, you sometimes need something thinner. For me, it's a staple, a good product. And if you haven't used it for everyday
Speaker A
life, like taking it in the car to drink or having it with a bun, it definitely earns its place in our ranking because it's under 100 rubles.
Speaker A
You can buy a thing like this right now. This type of drinkable yogurt is sold in absolutely all retail chains. That includes Pyaterochka, Magnit, and any other retail chains. Again, it doesn't have to be this specific brand. There
Speaker A
are other brands available. Just look for plain, drinkable yogurt. I think that, on average, the price will be the same. So, dear friends, the next product in our ranking, eleventh place, is crab meat. Yes, this can also include crab sticks, but, uh, this crab
Speaker A
meat, this specific crab meat, cost 94 rubles. I bought it at Pyaterochka. What do we see here? Protein six, fat two. In principle, this isn't exactly a primary source of protein either, because there isn't that much, but it's
Speaker A
not a little, either. Accordingly, of course, this isn't crab meat; it’s made from surimi, right, from this kind of fish flour. I don’t want to say that it’s harmful or unnecessary for weight loss, but we all grew up on crab
Speaker A
salads and those things where crab sticks used to be added. And sometimes you want it, sometimes some people like it. Overall, such a product fits perfectly into a salad or a crab spread, right? That is, fillings; I’ve made
Speaker A
recipes like that, not that often, but overall it’s a decent product, yes. So, again, its fat content is not too high, there’s enough protein, and 1 gram of protein costs 7 rubles. 23 kopecks. No, that’s a high price;
Speaker A
it’s not a very profitable purchase if we want to reach our protein goals with it. But again, it’s cheap, and in principle, it will fit into your diet just fine. Why not? Sometimes you can have it, and if someone likes it,
Speaker A
then it will go down great. What do you think of this product? Have you used crab meat in your dishes? Write in the comments, it's interesting, because some people, after reading the comments, go to cook something or buy this crab
Speaker A
meat, perhaps, right? Let's move on to the next product. So, dear friends, the next product, tenth place, is squid rings. In principle, this can include not only squid rings, but also other dried fish. It’s expensive. It’s expensive. For 100 rubles. We can only
Speaker A
afford a small pack, this forty-gram bag of fish or squid rings. But it’s a great snack, yes. Here we have high protein content, low fat content. The only nuance is that squid rings are preserved in a large amount of sugar.
Speaker A
Yes, it works both as a flavor enhancer and as a preservative. Hence the carbohydrate content. But again, all this is in the amounts we use as a snack, perhaps it won’t be that critical for the diet to use, right. So
Speaker A
, squid rings. They contain 10 grams of protein per 40-gram package. And in total 7 rubles. 10 kopecks. That is what we pay per 1 gram of protein.
Speaker A
Because of this, this product is only in tenth place in terms of protein cost. Friends, today is the best selection.
Speaker A
I am providing you with the most affordable protein sources under 100 rubles. This is what we love. Therefore, to find out about the best protein sources under 100 rubles, watch this video until the end. Leave a comment on
Speaker A
what products I haven't included in this list yet, so others can find out too and we can make the world a better place together. Friends, we continue, friends. What is the next product on our list? As you can see, what is it?
Speaker A
It's carpaccio. Carpaccio is actually a more expensive product, costing over 100 rubles. But I found one carpaccio that is sold for less. And this carpaccio sells for 99 rubles at the Chizhik store as of today, August 2026.
Speaker A
It costs 99 rubles. Right at 99 rubles in this 100g package. And the most interesting and coolest part, dear friends, is that you can even put it in your pocket. Yes, and it's better than a protein bar. It's more filling and
Speaker A
better, right? Again, this is pure chicken, dear friends, it's just shocking and great, because a protein bar now costs 150 rubles, while a piece of chicken can always be in your pocket, handbag, or backpack, and you can
Speaker A
snack on it, right? Get yourself a coffee and just eat the carpaccio like that. Why not? Why not even eat it like that? It says 18g of protein here for some reason. Yes, it's not 20g of protein, it's 17, oh, even 17 grams of
Speaker A
protein. I don't know why not 20, like in regular chicken, even though it's dried. In total, we get 5 rubles. 80 kopecks. Per 1 gram of protein. This thing costs 99 rubles. And I consider this a real find, yes, a find for 99
Speaker A
rubles. For 100 rubles to buy such items. And I think it's even more convenient at times than buying a large one. Well, again, a large one we cut up for the house. It was enough for everyone, maybe just for one person,
Speaker A
but this is convenient to take with you. Therefore, Carpaccio at Chizhik for 99 rubles. An excellent find. Like and subscribe. Moving on, dear friends. So, dear friends, the next product is ham.
Speaker A
Ham. We know that ham is a great product for weight loss because we always look for 16g of protein, 3g of fat. I checked this ham, and other hams that we buy for weight loss, and they all pass the test perfectly; the macros
Speaker A
match what is stated on the package, which is great news. But ham doesn't cost 100 rubles anymore. And you might tell me: "Nikita, shame on you, it costs 120 rubles." "Or even more." But I bought this specific ham personally at
Speaker A
a Dixy store, and it cost 99 rubles there. There were other similar options, too. I also found turkey ham at Magnit. Vyzanka, I believe, was also 99 rubles. So, if you have at least a hundred in your pocket, we can
Speaker A
definitely look around and find ham like this. You already know how to use it. Again, you can use it. In breakfast and so on. Ham. Eighth place. And it costs 99 rubles. There are 19 grams of protein per pack. So we end up with 5
Speaker A
rubles. 15 kopecks. For 1 gram of protein. This is an average price. We started at almost 8 rubles. And we went down to 5 rubles. That's the kind of product it is, dear friends. Let's move on. So, friends, seventh pl
Speaker A
Icelandic Skyr. It's sold as this kind of yogurt, right? It's a small little cup. 74 rubles. I bought it at a Pyaterochka store. What is Skyr? It is yogurt. A high-protein yogurt. This yogurt is popular in other Western
Speaker A
countries as well. I lived in America for six months, and Skyr is very popular there too. It's a thick yogurt, thicker than Greek yogurt. It has more protein in it. If Greek yogurt has 8 grams of protein per hundred, then Skyr
Speaker A
has 11 grams. It's practically like soft cottage cheese, but for me, I'd call it a mix of soft cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. But even compared to soft cottage cheese, it has more protein, 11 grams. So per 150g cup, we
Speaker A
get 16 grams of protein. A cup like this costs 74 rubles. So we have a price of 4 rubles. 60 kopecks per 1 gram of protein. That's not bad. That's not bad, though it is more expensive than regular cottage cheese. But we are
Speaker A
paying here specifically for that thick yogurt consistency. For those who are better off, who are ready to spend their 100 rubles. In a fancy way, so to speak, this Skyr is for you, dear friends. I like it more than Greek
Speaker A
yogurt, of course. Because it's denser and, of course, has more protein, which means it's more filling. Dear friends, I would like to recommend you my guide to delicious weight loss, a recipe book written by me, Nikita Igoshev. It is
Speaker A
simply a guide on how to make delicious food for yourself from simple ingredients. A protein dish that makes losing weight easy. These dishes are absolutely no different from gourmet cuisine or fast food. Except you make these with your own hands. You will see
Speaker A
exactly what it consists of, what proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are inside. The book details everything, how to cook, and how much BJU. There are even video instructions for these recipes. If you follow the QR code, the preparation of that specific recipe
Speaker A
will open for you. Everything is systematized and convenient in this book. Moreover, I now have a recipe app with three times as many recipes as are in here. All of this will be on your mobile phone. You can order and buy
Speaker A
both the recipe book and this version on the website. Furthermore, you can look for this recipe book in print on marketplaces. You can buy it in electronic form. As of today, August 2026, it costs only 690 rubles. Friends
Speaker A
, I highly recommend it. It is a very handy thing for every day to eat deliciously and lose weight. We continue on. So, dear friends, the sixth place in our ranking is Greek yogurt. The funny thing is, I think I
Speaker A
ate it, this Greek yogurt. But that’s normal for me, or perhaps I used it to make a recipe from my cookbook. Anyway, Greek yogurt is a staple product for us . I don't think I’ll even show it; you yourselves know how much Greek
Speaker A
yogurt costs now. Unfortunately, prices are constantly rising. A 250-gram tub currently costs 85-89 rubles. Let’s calculate it at 85 rubles. In total, a 250-gram tub of Greek yogurt will have 20g of protein. Totaling 4 rubles. 25 kopecks. That is the cost per 1g of
Speaker A
protein from Greek yogurt. More expensive than skyr. But then again, Greek yogurt is something very healthy and necessary. I use it everywhere, in recipes and just eating it, which is why I ate it all. In short, Greek yogurt takes an honorable sixth place
Speaker A
for us. You can buy it for under 100 rubles. And it is, in fact, an excellent source of protein. Well, we all understand that. There is nothing even left to say. So, dear friends, fifth place. Fifth place is quite
Speaker A
unobvious, very unobvious, but I want to present protein shakes in fifth place at a price of 3 rubles. 45 kopecks. Per 1g of protein. It’s just nonsense. Even cheaper than Greek yogurt. But these protein shakes are, of course, unusual. Regular shakes are
Speaker A
a bit more expensive. Yes. Today we picked up those under 100 rubles. Because usually a protein shake costs 150 rubles. But today we have a selection under 100 rubles. And I want to tell you about the protein shakes
Speaker A
under 100 rubles that I found. Here is an interesting protein shake in a juice box with a straw. 20 grams of protein.
Speaker A
That's actually not bad at all. This shake costs 79 rubles. At the Dixy store. 20 grams of protein. I found this protein shake in a bottle at the Chizhik store. It also appeared recently. 16 grams of protein. A
Speaker A
protein shake. This one also costs around 80 rubles. at the Pyaterochka store. These are the protein shakes under 100 rubles that we can buy today.
Speaker A
Definitely leave a like for the fact that I'm sharing these finds with you. In case you didn't know about these protein shakes. You'll immediately ask: "Nikita, have you tested them for protein content?" Friends, I’ve already done a video on protein shakes.
Speaker A
I tested those, but I haven't tested these. The point is that almost all shakes sold in stores come from large dairy plants. And as practice has shown , there was a sufficient amount of protein in them; they almost all
Speaker A
complied. Naturally, I will test these as well in time. Subscribe to the channel to find out the results of testing these shakes later. But my experience with previous shakes suggests that the probability of the macronutrients matching for shakes made
Speaker A
at dairy plants, large plants that work with protein every day, is high—I think they should match. That's my opinion, but the test results will show the facts. Yes, what the actual reality is. If you're interested, write in the
Speaker A
comments whether I should test these protein shakes. Yes. So, dear friends, pam-param-pam-pam-pam-pam-pam-pam. The next product is our fourth place.
Speaker A
Herring for 99 rubles. Dixy store. This is just an awesome selection today, friends. I am very glad that in fourth place we don't just have cottage cheese or eggs or something else, but we have herring. 100 rubles. For 100 rubles,
Speaker A
you can buy 200 grams of vacuum-packed herring. Yes, you won't find herring for 99 rubles everywhere. But I found it at the Dixy store, which means you can too, friends. Here in one pack, there are 32 grams of protein. Fats.
Speaker A
What kind of fats are here? Oh, what fats. And don't tell me your fats are better. Herring fats are much better.
Speaker A
It contains more omega-3s than red fish . Than salmon. Friends, why? Why spend a lot of money on anything else if for 99 we get both omega-3s and protein in one package for 99 rubles.
Speaker A
Vacuum-packed without oil? It’s a miracle. Hey, I've gone crazy. What a shame. The price per 1 gram of protein comes out to 3 rubles. 3 rubles. That is a very, very good price, just remember that. And that's all. We are moving on.
Speaker A
Soft cottage cheese. It tastes better than regular cottage cheese. This packaging here, I think you’ve seen it, right? It feels like it’s been sold for a million years. On one hand, it seems inconvenient, you can’t eat it with a spoon, but on the other hand,
Speaker A
it’s a good deal. It’s cost-effective. So here today, it turns out that there are 34 grams of protein in the whole pack. There are 400 grams of cottage cheese here. It’s four percent, delicate, not fat-free, it tastes better. In total, I found it for
Speaker A
99 rubles. Also at the Dixy store. In other stores it’s more expensive, maybe by 5-10 rubles. But for 99 rubles . I found this exact package. And it comes out to 2 rubles. 90 kopecks.
Speaker A
That’s what we can find for a 400- gram package of soft cottage cheese. And this is an excellent purchase.
Speaker A
Under 100 rubles. Under 100 rubles. you buy for yourself. Just think, it turns out that for 300 rubles. if you buy three of these packs, you'll have 1.2 kilograms of soft cottage cheese. Well, isn't that awesome? Awesome. Dear
Speaker A
friends, summer is ending, and what does that mean? It means it’s time to work on yourself. The weight loss season is opening soon. September is usually the season when we’ve already rested, put on some extra kilos, and it’s time to work on ourselves. New
Speaker A
Year is coming soon. And dear friends, you need to enter the New Year in shape . You need to start the New Year fresh, with a new page, a new body, new habits , and a new group. Therefore, I suggest
Speaker A
you prepare your sleds in summer and sign up right now for my course starting in September, where I will teach you everything I know, how I lost 30 kg in 4 months. I will invite experts there. Doctors who will break
Speaker A
everything down for you, how to lose weight, how our body is structured, how not to get sick, and how not to ruin your health while losing weight. You will have more. You will have a friendly, large team of like-minded
Speaker A
people with whom we communicate even after the course ends, and during the course we meet in person, organize get-togethers, outings, and so on. So, this is a true story. My dear friends, I invite you to my course in September.
Speaker A
Burn it off. The link will be in the description of this video. Click through and check it out. Information on how to join our ranks will be available soon. Friends, we continue.
Speaker A
So, my dear friends, second place and, of course, a basic item. A basic item you can buy for 100 rubles. If I didn't say this, I wouldn't be myself at all.
Speaker A
For 100 rubles, we can buy a pack of cottage cheese. I am incredibly happy that in Russia and CIS countries there is such a product as cottage cheese. I don't know how. Well, you go to Turkey, for example, and there is no cottage
Speaker A
cheese there. Friends, I don't understand how one can get enough protein without this product, to make it taste good without preparing 100-500,000 recipes from it. You can just eat it with a spoon, yes, even with sugar, it's still protein.
Speaker A
Therefore, cottage cheese is a staple. And it costs us, if we take it for 70 rubles, there are 32 grams of protein in the whole pack. And it turns out that 2 rubles and 18 kopecks. That's the cost for 1 gram of protein. It is
Speaker A
very cost-effective. Cottage cheese is in second place, it is a staple. And it can be bought for under 100 rubles. It can be eaten just like that. Yes, you can prepare a recipe or add it to something, but you can also eat it as
Speaker A
is. It doesn't matter what brand of cottage cheese you have, "Iskrenne Vash " or any other. I released an episode with tests of cottage cheese brands. I gave a few recipes there. So, if you want to know about the laboratory
Speaker A
testing of cottage cheese, go to that video. And if you need recipes, also go to that video. Therefore, cottage cheese is a staple. And we move on.
Speaker A
First place, my dear friends. What product do you think it is? What product is in first place? You understand everything. You should understand this. This product is simply on our daily menu, all of us. This product is, uh, simply basic and the
Speaker A
cheapest. Not that it's cheap, I wouldn't call it cheap. I would say it is a benchmark product. This product costs, for example, I lived in America for half a year, there 11-12 of these eggs cost...Let's lift the curtain,
Speaker A
what is this product? 12 eggs cost 3 to 4 dollars. Maybe now it costs 4 dollars , yes. But here we can buy for under 100 rubles a dozen eggs for ourselves.
Speaker A
And if you really try and look around, you can for 100 rubles buy two dozen eggs. Imagine, for a pack of 10 eggs we get 70 grams of protein. 10 eggs give you 70 grams of protein, friends. No
Speaker A
other product has anything like that. It is a uniquely protein-rich product. It is the gold standard for amino acid content. Meaning everything is balanced in terms of amino acids. I calculated that for 100, for 90 rubles. we can buy
Speaker A
a dozen eggs. But then again, if you try, you can find them cheaper, in some stores, like at Chizhik, eggs are cheap . And it turns out that even for 90 rubles. when we buy a dozen eggs, we
Speaker A
pay 1 ruble. 28 kopecks per 1 gram of protein from eggs. If we get eggs twice as cheap, well, you understand, for such excellent protein sources, for such a unique, affordable product. We are finishing this video of ours. Did
Speaker A
you like this selection? Was there anything useful for you? Write in the comments if you want me to make more of these selections, where you can learn about healthy products and start using them in your diet today or tomorrow.
Speaker A
Write in the comments, friends. Well, it's time for us to say goodbye. See you in the next videos. Bye. Ah.
