Original Discovery

I was thinking all that you need to do is use the grams of protein and the cost of the item to calculate, but each item has both a different serving size and a different number of servings per container. With that in mind, how could someone who is very budget conscious right now go about doing a calculation to figure out which foods are actually the most cost effective based on grams of protein and serving sizes?
