Pros and cons of each option

Cod, salted, raw

  • Pros: Slightly higher Protein content, rich in vitamins B12 and D, suitable for high-Protein needs.
  • Cons: Extremely high sodium levels (~8100 mg per 100g), very high caloric content, less efficient for calorie-conscious diets.

Piracuí flour, fish flour (AM region)

  • Pros: Lower calorie count, high nutrient density, versatile for use in various recipe nutritions without excess Calories.
  • Cons: Slightly less Protein, no specified vitamin or mineral data, higher Fat that may be less desirable for certain diets.

Best choice for different goals

When one option is NOT worth it

Salty, raw cod isn't worth it if you need a low-calorie or low-sodium option. The caloric and sodium overload outweigh the Protein benefits for most practical purposes. Similarly, if avoiding fats is a priority, fish flour might be less suitable due to its higher Fat content.

For practical, nutrient-dense food choices, Piracuí flour from the Amazon region stands out as the more efficient option overall. Reserve salted cod for specific high-Protein needs where Calories and sodium are less critical. Always consider your dietary goals and consult trusted nutritional sources for personalized advice.

How to interpret this page

🔥 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.

Tip: combine the table with your goal — weight loss, muscle gain, low carb, endurance, or general health. The score helps compare options on this page; it does not replace medical or sports-nutrition advice.

Nutrition facts (per 100g)

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.
