High Protein

Recipes that give you at least 10 g of protein for every 100 kcal in a serving. That means at least 40% of the energy in the dish comes from protein.

The rule

protein (g) per serving ÷ kcal per serving × 100 ≥ 10

Calculated by the site build from each recipe's nutrition per serving. Nobody ticks this box by hand: if the numbers change, the label updates on the next build. 1 g of protein gives about 4 kcal, so 10 g per 100 kcal means roughly 40% of the energy is protein.
