Check if a food is truly high in protein — not just marketed that way. We analyse protein density, sugar impact, and ingredient quality.

A food is generally considered high protein if it contains 20g or more of protein per 100g. However, protein density matters too — a food with 20g protein but 500 calories is less efficient than one with 20g protein and 150 calories. This tool checks both.
10g per 100g is moderate. It contributes to your daily intake but shouldn't be your primary protein source. For context, most adults need 0.8-1.2g of protein per kg of body weight daily, so a 70kg person needs 56-84g per day.
Yes. Not all protein is equal. Whole food sources (eggs, meat, fish, legumes) provide complete amino acid profiles. Ultra-processed protein products (bars, shakes) may contain additives, hidden sugars, and industrial ingredients that reduce overall nutritional value.
Many protein bars are NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods despite their 'high protein' marketing. They often contain multiple sugar sources, emulsifiers, and artificial sweeteners. Check both the protein content and the ingredient list — this tool helps you do exactly that.
