Cost Per Gram Of Protein Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the cost per gram of protein for a given total cost and total grams of protein. 

C_p = C_t / P_t

Variables:

  • Cp is the cost per gram of protein
  • Ct is the total cost
  • Pt is the total grams of protein

To calculate the cost per gram of protein, divide the total cost by the total grams of protein. This will give you the cost per gram of protein.

What is Cost Per Gram Of Protein?

The cost per gram of protein is a measure used to compare the cost-effectiveness of protein across food products by calculating how much you pay for each gram of protein. This metric can be useful for budgeting and comparing different protein sources using the protein grams listed on a Nutrition Facts label.
