Answer

Protein is 4cal/gram, the closer you can get to that generally the better the protein. You’ll almost never find it exact in shakes or powder but it can get close. It’ll generally be around 80% but it is possible to find better. Powder will be generally be cheaper and more versatile (you can cook/bake with it) and you can mix it with water/milk/smoothies for more or less calories. Comparison to ON whey powder which is pretty popular and easy to find

Ensure max protein - 150cal/30g pro 80% $2.37/serving. Total protein = 360g for $28.50

ON whey - 120cal/24g pro 80% $1.07/servingTotal protein = 1776g for $79.00
