ProScan AI, a protein score for the supermarket aisle
An iPhone app that scans packaged-food barcodes and assigns a personalized protein score out of 100.
Field notes
The app describes a barcode workflow that resolves in about a second, then compares the product with a protein target derived from bodyweight, height, age, training, and goal. Its score is not based on protein grams alone: the page lists amino acid profile, sugar, sodium, additives, allergens, processing markers, certifications, and protein source among the inputs. The site says its catalog draws on Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central and covers more than 3 million products.
