💪 High-protein foods

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.
