About

Welcome to ProteinWiki — your trusted guide to understanding and optimizing your protein intake.

Why ProteinWiki Was Created

ProteinWiki was born out of a simple but important realization: most people are not consuming enough protein, especially in developing countries like India, and there’s a lot of confusion around what sources are best, affordable, and suited to different dietary needs.

In fact, studies show that up to 9 out of 10 Indians do not meet their daily protein requirements (IMRB Survey). This is not just a regional issue — even globally, inadequate protein intake affects health outcomes, particularly muscle mass maintenance, metabolic health, and recovery.

At ProteinWiki, we aim to cut through the noise and give you:

• Easy-to-understand facts about different protein sources

• Nutritional comparisons and affordability breakdowns

• Practical guidance for reaching your protein goals — regardless of your budget or dietary preference

Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a growing teenager, a busy office-goer, or someone just trying to eat better — ProteinWiki is here to make protein simple, accessible, and actionable.

Everyone should have access to high-quality protein knowledge — not just gym-goers or health experts. Whether you’re trying to bulk up, stay healthy, or make smarter food choices, ProteinWiki is designed with you in mind.
