Our verdict
Applied Nutrition wins on the label
Clear whey lives or dies on protein density — and Applied Nutrition leads clearly: 85.1g vs 80g protein per 100g, with less than half the sugar (0.95g vs 1.8g) and a better Clean Score (95 vs 93).
Neither brand publishes an aminogram for their clear whey, so amino quality can't be compared — a gap in the category we'd like to see closed. On everything verifiable, Applied Nutrition takes it.
MyProtein's case is range and availability: more flavours, easier to find, often cheaper. But per scoop, AN gives you more protein for fewer calories from sugar.

Frequently asked
Which clear whey has the most protein?
Applied Nutrition: 85.1g per 100g vs 80g for MyProtein's Clear Whey Isolate — about 21g vs 20g per 25g serving.
Do either publish amino acid profiles?
No — neither brand publishes an aminogram for their clear whey, so we can't compare leucine or EAA content. We show verified data only, never estimates.
Is clear whey better than normal whey?
Not nutritionally — it's lighter, more refreshing and lower in lactose, but averages slightly less protein per 100g. Our clear whey guide covers the full trade-off.
