💪 High-protein foods

Branded foods that pack the most grams of protein per gram of food. Sorted by protein density score (0–100). A score of 80+ means roughly 20g of protein per 100g of food or better — territory that beats most non-meat packaged sources.

How "High protein" is defined

A product makes this collection if its Protein density score meets our threshold. The score itself is computed from public USDA FoodData Central nutrition data using the formula published on the methodology page. Thresholds are set so that products in a collection genuinely outperform the average packaged food on that dimension — this isn't a list of "everything with some protein," it's a list of products that score meaningfully above the baseline.
