I like a good old rule of thumb. Like the one I came across recently. To quickly figure out if a certain food is an efficient source of protein, use the following formula: Protein (g per 100 g)×10≥Calories (kcal per 100 g) \text{Protein (g per 100 g)} \times 10 \geq \text{Calories (kcal per 100 g)} Protein (g per 100 g)×10≥Calories (kcal per 100 g)This means that the seitan from our local shop has a very high protein density: 22 g of protein and only 110 calories per 100 g. On the other hand, peanut butter has 2 g more protein per 100 g (24 g in total), but also a whopping 604 calories. That’s a difference of ~500 calories (roughly a sandwich) for the same amount of protein. Thanks for using RSS! View this post on my site or reply via email.
