What to look for

Front-of-pack protein claims are easy to hit with a bigger bar. Protein density — grams of protein for every 100 calories — is a fairer comparison and the metric this site sorts by.

As a rough guide, anything above 10g of protein per 100 calories is protein-dense, and above 15g is exceptional. High-protein yogurts, lean meat snacks and ready-to-drink shakes tend to score highest.
