Rankings

Highest-protein food rankings

22 ranked lists drawn from the same USDA-sourced database: the foods with the most protein overall, the most protein per 100 g, the most protein per calorie, plant-only, vegetarian and whole-food lists, breakfast and snack lists, and a list for each food category with enough entries to rank.

The database currently holds 796 foods, so every count below is a slice of that 796. A category with fewer than three foods gets no list rather than a two-item one. Every figure traces back to a USDA FoodData Central record id, printed on the food's own page.
