Question:
Is there a website that lists amts. of protein in different food products, etc.

or do any of you have lists that state the above, for instance how much protein does one egg white have? Please forgive if I'm being too ignorant. Thanks.    — Lillian G. (posted on August 28, 2000)

I just posted this to another website. Note the books cited. According to the Handbook of the Nutritional Contents of Food, prepared for the US Department of Agriculture, and Food Values of Portions Commonly Used, by Jean Pennington, the following is the recommended amount of proteins and fats: PROTEIN: 10-15% of our daily diet, has 4 calories per gram, and we should eat 50-60 grams per day, no less than 40 grams per day. One third of the requirement should be consumed in the first meal of the day (about 16 out of 50 grams) FATS: 25-30% of our daily diet, has 9 calories per gram, and 60-70 grams per day, no less than 30 grams. The following is a list of the protein and fat content (rounded to the nearest whole decimal) of common foods, in cooked, without oil (baked, roasted, broiled, boiled, etc), 100 gram/3.5 oz portions. (Note, some may look low, but are usually consumed in 8oz portions, such as milk).
