A trusted compass through the protein aisle
Whether you're choosing between a whey powder, paneer, dal or tofu — Protein Compass shows you what the science actually says.
1. Tell us about you
Goals, diet, digestive tolerance, budget, allergies. 8 short questions.
2. We run the science
Protein quality (DIAAS), per-meal leucine, digestibility, real cost — weighted for your goal.
3. Top 3 + the reasoning
Each pick shows a transparent score, plain-English explanation, and the studies behind it.
Why Protein Compass is different
Evidence-supremacy
Every recommendation links back to peer-reviewed studies. No hand-wavy claims.
Brand-neutral
We score every product against the same transparent framework — no paid placements, ever.
Real cost, not list cost
We compute cost per gram of protein, leucine and EAA — powders and whole foods compared on equal terms.
Beyond powders
Whole-food sources like paneer, tofu, and dal compete in the same ranking system.
Educational, not pushy
Learn what DIAAS, leucine, and digestibility actually mean and why they matter.
A platform, not a list
Built on the open Protein Knowledge Graph — ready to expand to recipes, meal plans and clinical diets.
Built on the Protein Knowledge Graph
Behind every score is a structured graph linking foods, ingredients, amino-acid profiles, studies and claims — curated independently by the Protein Compass team.
