Review Methodology: How We Compare High-Protein Snacks

The short version

We record each product's published nutrition panel for a stated serving, then calculate the same handful of metrics for every product so that a yogurt, a bar and a meat snack can be ranked on one scale. Rankings follow the numbers. Affiliate relationships never change an order or a description.

What we measure

• Protein per serving, calories, carbohydrates, sugar, fat, fibre and salt
• Protein per 100 calories — protein (g) ÷ calories × 100
• Protein per 100g — protein (g) ÷ pack weight (g) × 100
• Cost per gram of protein — price ÷ (protein per serving × servings per pack)
• Ingredients, allergens and dietary suitability as printed on the pack

A metric is only shown when the underlying data exists. Where a figure is missing you will see a dash rather than an estimate.

Where the data comes from

Nutrition figures come from the manufacturer's own product information or the retailer listing that reproduces the pack panel. Each product page links to the source we used and shows the date it was last checked. Packaging is always the definitive source; recipes and panels change, and a pack in your hand overrides anything published here.

How prices are handled

Prices are typical single-unit shelf prices, shown in pounds for products we track in the UK and dollars for products we track in the US. They are indicative, not live: shops price differently, multibuys are common, and promotions move weekly. Use them to compare value between products, not to predict what you will pay at the till. Cost per gram of protein is calculated from the same indicative price, so it carries the same caveat.

What we do not do

• We do not claim to have physically tasted or tested products. No page on this site says we did.
• We do not publish star ratings, review counts or testimonials we have not genuinely collected.
• We do not copy manufacturer marketing copy or competitor articles.
• We do not make medical or dietary claims, and we do not call a snack "healthy" simply because it is high in protein.
• We do not invent nutrition values, prices, availability or sources.

High protein is not the same as healthy

High protein, low calorie, low sugar and high fibre are four different things. A bar can be excellent on protein density and still carry a lot of sugar or fat. That is exactly why the full panel is shown on every product page rather than a single score.

Corrections

If a figure looks wrong, tell us and we will check it against the current pack and update or remove it. Use the contact form and include the product and, where possible, a photo of the panel. Related reading: our editorial policy and affiliate disclosure.
