What to know about Protein Chef Protein Bread - 5 Superfoods
A protein loaf where wheat does most of the work
Protein Chef Protein Bread is a 270 g sliced loaf built on wholewheat flour (atta), lifted with a protein premix of soya flour (4.3%) and defatted peanut flour (0.3%), plus vital wheat gluten. Refined sunflower oil, flax seeds (0.7%), oats (0.4%) and sesame seeds (0.4%) follow. It is bought by people who want more protein from the bread they already eat, mainly at breakfast.
Per 100 g the bread has 245 kcal, 15.6 g protein, 8.6 g fibre, 3.8 g total sugar (0.6 g added) and 450 mg sodium. Two slices, the 54 g serve the pack uses, give 133 kcal, 8.4 g protein, 4.7 g fibre and 243 mg sodium. The whole loaf holds about 42 g protein.
The front says 42 g protein, which is true only for the full loaf, and the name promises five superfoods that make up about 6% of the bread. The back calls it multigrain, but the list is wheat with a trace of oats. That hollow promise sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CA2.
Does Protein Chef Protein Bread - 5 Superfoods live up to its claims?
Fibre, no maida and low sugar hold, and the 42 g protein is for the whole loaf. The multigrain line is misleading, since oats are 0.4% and wheat is the only real grain.
- On the packMisleading
“Multigrain for breakfast? Great choice!”
The bread is wholewheat atta with added wheat gluten, and oats at 0.4% are the only other grain named. It fails the test of two distinct grains.
- Product namePartly true
“5 Superfoods Bread”
Soya, peanut, flax, oats and sesame are all real, but together they are 6.1% of the bread. Soya at 4.3% is most of that.
- On the packBe careful
“42g Protein”
The footnote shows the figure is for the whole 270 g loaf, about 42 g. A two-slice serve has 8.4 g.
- On the packHolds
“High Fibre”
8.6 g per 100 g, so 4.7 g in two slices.
- On the packHolds
“No Maida”
Wholewheat atta leads the list and no refined wheat flour is named. The only wheat flour besides atta is the fermented wheat flour in the bread premix.
Why Protein Chef Protein Bread - 5 Superfoods scores [L]CA2
Nutrition is a C on 15.6 g protein and 8.6 g fibre per 100 g, though most protein comes from wheat. Ingredients are an A with no additives, and risk is a 2 because sodium is 450 mg per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein

- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 245 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 15.6 g per 100 g and fibre is 8.6 g, which is high for a bread. In two slices that is 8.4 g protein and 4.7 g fibre.
The largest protein source is the wholewheat atta, not the soya or peanut flour, so the protein earns only part of the credit. No vitamins or minerals are declared, so little else lifts the grade.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is simple: wholewheat flour first, then a soya and peanut premix, wheat gluten, sunflower oil, seeds, yeast, sugar, salt and vinegar. No additive of concern is listed, and no hydrogenated fat is present, so the declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted.
The grade loses 4 points because the back of the pack says multigrain when fewer than two distinct grains are in the list. That costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0.6 g
- Sodium
- 450 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium drives the risk number: 450 mg per 100 g, or 243 mg in a two-slice serve. That is nearly all of the risk score.
Added sugar is 0.6 g and saturated fat is 0.2 g per 100 g, so both are minor. Energy is 245 kcal per 100 g and adds nothing to the risk.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Protein Chef Protein Bread - 5 Superfoods?
Wholewheat atta leads, then a soya and peanut premix and wheat gluten. The seeds are tiny, and salt is the one thing to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Wholewheat atta leads, so the loaf is mostly wholewheat. The protein premix of soya flour (4.3%) and defatted peanut flour (0.3%) and the vital wheat gluten are there to raise protein, and refined sunflower oil softens the crumb.
Flax (0.7%), oats (0.4%) and sesame (0.4%) are for texture and the nutty taste. Yeast, a little sugar, iodized salt and vinegar do the baking work, and the bread premix and improver are fermented wheat flour, fermented glucose and maize starch. The list contains soya, peanut, sesame and wheat.
