grams of protein in, er, protein

[MissWooWoo]

can someone explain why a 150g (raw) steak shows up as only 36g of protein? I'm confused! surely it's got to be closer to er 150g? ?

shows up on myfitnesspal

well meat isn't just protein is it

well no there's some fat in there and a miniscule amount of carbs but 36g of protein seems silly for a 150g piece of what is essentially protein ... where are all the food scientists tonight?

ok this is actually quite interesting (even though i am veggie!)

the rest is mostly water. like us

wow! very interesting [doesn't get out much emoticon] the table especially

ta very

Water and fat!

If you buy protein powder (no water or far or carbs) you can see what 25g of protein looks like. And a cooked steak will be higher in protein for same weight as some of water evaporates in cooking process.
