Protein Filter

The filters in this section allow you to search by calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, and/or protein. To use these filters, set the sliders to your desired range.

Sliders are preset to the minimum and maximum value for all products in the database. For example, the calorie sliderss are limited to 50 to 260 calories because the lowest calorie amount for any product in the database is 50 while the highest is 260.

To set one of the filters to a specific number rather than a range, set both minimum and maximum sliders to the same number. The numbers on the sliders are inclusive (greater OR equal to/less than OR equal to). Not all products disclose these values on their nutrition labels. These filters will exclude products that do not list the values that you include in your search.

Note: You do not need to use all the filters below. Only adjust the sliders for the values you want to be included in your search. Sliders that are unadjusted will not be included in your search.

The filters in this section allow you to search by macronutrient content as a percent of total calories. To use these filters, select your desired percent range for the macros below.

Sliders are preset to the minimum and maximum percent value for all products in the database. For example, the fat percent of calories sliders are limited to 0 to 39 because the lowest fat content for any product in the database is 0 while the highest is 39.

Note: You do not need to use all the filters below. Only adjust the sliders for the values you want included in your filter. Sliders that are unadjusted will not be included in your search.

This section allows you to filter by ratings. The database rates protein supplements in seven areas and assigned a thumbs up or down in each. All seven areas (plus overall) are listed below.

If a product receives at least four thumbs up, it also receives an overall thumbs-up rating. This filter narrows your search to products with a thumbs-up rating in the areas selected below.

If a product receives at least four thumbs up, it also receives an overall thumbs-up recommendation. This filter narrows your search to products with a thumbs-up rating in the areas selected below.

Selecting an option below will show products that received a thumbs up in the selected areas.

This section allows you to filter by types of protein contained in a product. If you use this section, the results will only show products containing the ingredients you select below.

Manufacturers sometimes include ingredients such as creatine, amino acids, and even caffeine into their protein supplements. This section allows you to filter by non-protein ingredients contained in a product. If you use this section, the results will only show products containing the ingredients you select below.

This section allows you to filter by excluding products with specific proteins from your search. For example, if you want to exclude products that contain whey isolate and soy isolate, select those ingredients below. If you use this section, the results will only show products without the proteins you select below.

Manufacturers sometimes include ingredients such as creatine, amino acids, and even caffeine into their protein supplements. This section allows you to filter products to exclude non-protein ingredients. For example, if you want to exclude products containing beta-alanine and black pepper fruit extract, select those ingredients below.

This section allows you to filter by label transparency. A product's label transparency is a percentage of its ingredients listed with amounts. If a product lists all ingredient amounts, its label transparency is 100. A product that does not list any ingredient amounts gets a 0.

This filter narrows your search to products with a nutrition label transparency in the range selected below. Read more about the importance of disclosing all ingredient amounts: What are proprietary blends?

Note: Numbers on the sliders are inclusive (greater or equal to/less than or equal to).

Nutrition Label Transparency Range:

This section allows you to filter by fat content transparency. A product's fat content transparency is a percentage of how many types of fat a nutrition label discloses amounts for.

There are three types of fats (saturated, unsaturated, and trans fat); each has various effects on overall health. Manufacturers disclose a product's total fat content; some do not disclose the breakdown between the different types of fat. A score of 100 means 100% of a product's fat content is disclosed (broken down by type).

Note: Numbers on the sliders are inclusive (greater or equal to/less than or equal to).
