Both are comparable overall. Migros has a dedicated 'Fitness' range (quark, bars) with good value for money. Coop offers excellent organic products and often has better deals on fresh proteins. Ideally? Combine both.
Budget between 80 and 120 CHF per week per person, buying mainly at Migros/Coop. Sunday meal prep reduces costs by avoiding takeout (saving 10-15 CHF per day).
Not always. Some products labeled 'fitness' or 'high protein' contain a lot of added sugar. Always read the label: check the protein-to-sugar ratio. A good protein product has at least 2x more protein than sugar.
