Common questions

Is Rule 1 Whey Protein healthy?

Rule 1 Whey Protein scores 20/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Rule 1 Whey Protein lists 12 ingredients, starting with Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Cocoa, Maltodextrin and Lecithin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
