Highest-protein supermarket foods
Foods ranked by grams of protein per 100 g as sold, leaving out protein powders. Use protein per $1 alongside to see which are good value.
40 products · prices last checked 22 October 2026Built by an Accredited Practising Dietitian How it works
- Jerky, parmesan and dry legumes top the list because they contain little water.
- Per 100 g isn't the same as per serve; check the serving size too.
- For value, compare protein per $1.

Questions
What supermarket food has the most protein per 100 g?
Leaving out protein powders, Fresh Life Soy Protein Crisps Cocoa 150g (Woolworths) at 77.9 g per 100 g as sold.
Which high-protein food is the best value?
Of the foods on this page, Macro Textured Vegetable Protein 200g (dry) (Woolworths) gives the most protein per dollar: 30.5 g per $1.
How many foods have over 25 g of protein per 100 g?
111 of the 509 non-powder foods we track. The most common kinds are bars & snacks, cheese, tuna, jerky.
Why are protein powders left out?
Powders are mostly protein (often 60–90 g per 100 g) and would fill the whole list. See the protein powder guide for those.
Is protein per 100 g the best way to compare?
It tells you how concentrated a food is. Protein per $1 tells you value and protein per 100 kcal tells you how lean it is; the main rankings let you sort by either.
