Protein Check/data
How much protein is really on people's plates?
By Raj Lakhani
We're gathering anonymous, aggregate data from real meal checks — average protein per meal, how often meals hit the leucine threshold for muscle growth, and how protein is distributed across everyday plates. The live numbers will appear here as people use the tool.
Want to add a data point? Check a meal — only the anonymous estimate is counted, never your photo. Or read the protein guides in the meantime.
