Max Lugavere: How to spot low quality protein (don’t get scammed!)
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Check the % Daily Value for protein on nutrition labels – every 10% equals ~5g of complete protein.
- Calculate quality-adjusted protein by multiplying the %DV by 0.5 (e.g., 20% DV = 10g high-quality protein).
- Be wary of inflated protein claims – the difference between total grams and quality-adjusted grams reveals low-quality proteins like collagen or incomplete plant proteins.
Notable Quotes
“Every 10% daily value equals roughly 5 grams of complete protein.”
Bottom Line
Use the % Daily Value on protein labels to identify truly high-quality protein sources and avoid being misled by inflated protein claims.
