The practical answer: Micellar casein powder outperforms Dextrose powder in essential nutrients, making it the clear choice for those focused on protein intake and low carbohydrate content. Dextrose is primarily a carbohydrate source with no protein benefits.

Comparing the main macro nutrients per 100 grams:
If your goal is to maximize muscle Protein intake or minimize carbohydrate intake, Micellar casein powder is the top pick. For rapid energy boost or carbohydrate loading, Dextrose powder fits better.
Choosing Dextrose powder makes little sense if your focus is on low-carb, high-Protein nutrition or muscle recovery. Conversely, Micellar casein isn't suitable if you need quick energy or are managing carbohydrate intake tightly, such as in a keto diet.
For most practical purposes—building muscle, reducing Carbs, or maintaining satiety—Micellar casein powder is the smarter choice. Reserve Dextrose for specific energy needs, not daily nutrition.

🔥 Calories: Calories show energy per 100 g and help you compare portion impact across foods. Use them with protein and carbs to see whether an option fits maintenance, deficit, or surplus goals. A low score does not mean a food is ‘bad’ — it reflects nutrient density for general health, not your specific plan.
💪 Protein: Protein per 100 g shows how concentrated a food is as a protein source. Higher values support muscle recovery, satiety, and meal balance when that is your priority. Compare foods on this page rather than judging a single macro in isolation.
🌾 Carbs: Carbs matter most in context: training days, ketogenic diets, and endurance goals change what ‘good’ looks like. Powders such as maltodextrin score lower on our general-health scale because they are energy-dense with little protein, fiber, or micronutrients — not because they are never useful.
🥑 Fat: Fat carries more than twice the calories per gram than protein or carbs, so small portion changes matter. Moderate fat levels can support hormones and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Use this column with calories when balancing satiety and energy density.
The data shown is filtered to match this page’s topic.
The NutriDecide score (1–10) ranks foods on this page by protein, nutrient density, fiber, and a general-health lens — not by taste or whether they fit a specific diet. Low scores (e.g. maltodextrin) usually mean fewer nutrients per calorie; high scores (e.g. soy protein isolate) mean stronger protein and micronutrient density. It is a comparison tool: a low score does not forbid a food when it matches your goal.
