How Many Protein Tubs Fit in a Car Trunk?

Protein tubs in car trunk

If you’re curious about how many protein tubs can fit in the trunk of a car, continue reading. We’ll use the 2023 Toyota Camry as our car model, which offers a trunk space of 15.1 cubic feet. For the protein tubs, we’ll consider the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein, which comes in a 5-pound tub with dimensions of approximately 8 inches in diameter and 10 inches in height.

To determine how many tubs fit, we need to calculate the volume of a single protein tub. The formula for the volume of a cylinder (which is the shape of the tub) is πr²h. Here, the radius (r) is half the diameter, so 4 inches, and the height (h) is 10 inches.

3.14 * (4 inches)² * 10 inches = 502.4 cubic inches

Next, convert the trunk space from cubic feet to cubic inches for a consistent comparison. There are 1,728 cubic inches in a cubic foot.

15.1 cubic feet * 1,728 cubic inches/cubic foot = 26,092.8 cubic inches

Now, divide the total trunk volume by the volume of one protein tub to find out how many tubs can fit.

26,092.8 cubic inches / 502.4 cubic inches ≈ 51.93

So, approximately 51 tubs of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein can fit in the trunk of a 2023 Toyota Camry.

Let’s consider the cost. On Amazon, a 5-pound tub of this protein powder is priced around 60 dollars. If you were to fill the trunk with 51 tubs, the total cost would be:

51 tubs * 60 dollars/tub = 3,060 dollars

In conclusion, the trunk of a 2023 Toyota Camry can accommodate about 51 tubs of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein, costing approximately 3,060 dollars. This calculation provides a practical perspective on trunk capacity and the potential cost of filling it with protein tubs.
