I got tired of guessing which protein powders were actually “good”, so I built a site to rank them (and ended up using it myself)
For years I’d spend way too long comparing protein powders:
- protein per serving
- ingredient quality
- sweeteners
- cost per gram
- filler ingredients
- lab testing claims
- reviews
Everything felt marketing-heavy and hard to compare objectively.
So over the last while I built ProteinParts.com — a site that scores and compares proteins using actual data instead of just brand popularity.
Funny thing: after building the scoring system, I bought the highest-scoring protein myself because I trusted the ranking more than my old habits. I’d upload a pic but it looks like that’s not allowed.
I’m still improving the scoring and adding products, and I’m curious:
If you buy protein regularly, what matters most to you?
- price?
- ingredient quality?
- taste?
- digestion?
- protein per dollar?
- something else?
I’d genuinely appreciate feedback (including if the scoring seems flawed). I’d rather hear criticism early than build in the wrong direction.
Not trying to sell anything — mostly sharing because I built something I wish existed years ago.
I’ve already learned so much from this community and I want to make sure I give back as well.
What’s one thing you’d want a protein comparison site to show before you’d trust it?
