About 55% of the calories in high-protein shake mix come from protein, which makes it very protein-dense - close to the practical ceiling for a whole food. Foods in this band are the ones that let you raise your protein intake without raising your calorie intake much at all.
Among the 11 protein supplements in the database, high-protein shake mix ranks 9th by protein per serving, and 304th out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against nutrition shake (ready-to-drink), another protein supplement entry in the database, a serving carries about 2.3 g less protein (nutrition shake (ready-to-drink) has 13 g per 1 bottle).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is counted by piece at 20 g. Because pieces vary, the per-100 g figure is the one to use when comparing this against a food measured a different way.
