Cheapest eggs for protein
Egg cartons from each supermarket ranked by protein per dollar. Egg labels give nutrition per 100 g of edible egg, so we cost protein on the edible part, not the shell.
25 products · prices last checked 22 October 2026Built by an Accredited Practising Dietitian How it works
- Bigger cartons (18 or 30) are usually cheaper per egg.
- Cage-free, barn and free-range labels change the price, not the protein.
- Eggs are one of the cheapest complete proteins at the supermarket.

Questions
What are the cheapest eggs for protein?
On 22 October 2026, Lodge Farms Barn Laid Eggs 700g (ALDI): $2.09 for 30 g of protein, based on the edible part of the egg.
What are the cheapest free-range eggs?
Lodge Farms Free Range Eggs 700g (ALDI) at $2.44 for 30 g of protein.
How much protein is in an egg?
About 12–13 g per 100 g of edible egg, so a 50–60 g egg (without shell) has roughly 6–7 g of protein. Labels here are per 100 g edible egg.
Are bigger cartons cheaper?
Usually. 18 and 30 egg packs tend to cost less per egg than cartons of 6 or 12, and so less per gram of protein.
Do you include the shell weight?
No. Egg nutrition panels are per 100 g of edible egg and the pack weight includes shell, so we cost protein on the edible portion.
