Don’t Fall for the “High Protein” Label
Just because a food label says “high protein” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s actually high in protein relative to the calories.
Here’s the simple method I use. Look at the total calories and take the first two digits. That’s the minimum number of grams of protein I want to see.
For example:
- 360 calories → at least 36g of protein
- 240 calories → at least 24g of protein
- 180 calories → at least 18g of protein
If the grams of protein meet or exceed those first two calorie digits, I consider it a high-protein food.
Is it a perfect scientific definition? No. But it’s a quick way to cut through the marketing and identify foods that are actually protein-dense instead of just labeled that way.
