Nutrition guide

High-protein foods compared per 100g and per practical serving

Per-100g numbers are useful for nutrition density. In real meals, however, foods are eaten as a fillet, a piece, a pack, or another practical unit, so the ranking can change.

Density Per 100g Dried and concentrated foods tend to rank higher.
Meal context Per practical serving Calculated only where Food DB has a published conversion.
Prototype rule

Practical servings are not guessed. This page uses published Food DB conversions and excludes foods without a suitable serving conversion from the serving ranking.

How to read

Use the two views for different decisions

Per 100g

Good for finding dense ingredients, including dried, powdered, and concentrated foods.

Per serving

Better for meal planning and shopping because it shows what a normal cooking unit contributes.

Missing serving data

Foods such as herbs or powders may be dense per 100g, but they need reliable small-unit conversions before they are ranked by serving.

Data gap

Dense foods still missing practical serving data
