For those seeking a high-protein, low-carb option, Pea protein isolate powder is the clear winner. Dextrose powder, on the other hand, offers pure carbohydrates with no protein, making it suitable only for quick energy spikes.
For those seeking a high-Protein, low-carb option, Pea Protein isolate powder is the clear winner. Dextrose powder, on the other hand, offers pure carbohydrates with no Protein, making it suitable only for quick energy spikes.
Pea Protein provides a massive Protein boost and significantly fewer Carbs, especially sugars. Dextrose is purely carbohydrate-based, with no Protein and high Calories from sugars, making it a quick energy source rather than a nutrient-dense supplement.
If your goal is muscle recovery, weight management, or dietary Protein intake, Pea Protein isolate powder is the best choice. Opt for Dextrose powder if you need rapid carbohydrate replenishment during intense exercise or for quick energy, and Protein isn't a concern.
Skip Dextrose powder if you're aiming to minimize sugar intake or manage blood sugar levels. It's not beneficial for those with insulin sensitivity, diabetes, or anyone seeking a balanced diet. Similarly, avoid Pea Protein if affordability or simplicity is your priority and you don't need extra Protein.
Choose Pea Protein isolate powder for a nutritious, high-Protein addition to your diet, especially if you're focused on muscle building or low-carb goals. Reserve Dextrose powder for specific energy needs where sugar spikes are acceptable or desired.

🔥 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.
| Food | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Score |
