Question 1

How does the Recipe Protein Calculator work?

Accepted Answer

Enter each ingredient and its quantity. The tool calculates protein content for each ingredient based on standard UK nutritional data, shows each ingredient's percentage contribution to total recipe protein, and gives a per-serving protein verdict.

Question 2

What counts as high protein?

Accepted Answer

A recipe with 30g or more protein per serving is classified as high protein. 15-30g per serving is moderate, and below 15g is low. These thresholds align with common sports nutrition and dietary guidelines.

Question 3

What is protein per calorie ratio?

Accepted Answer

Protein per calorie ratio shows how protein-dense a recipe is relative to its energy content. A higher ratio means more protein for fewer calories, which is useful for muscle building or weight management goals.
