Protein questions...

[spoiltmom 44]

Is there a book or something I can buy that lists Protein counts of different foods?

Like how many grams are in 1 oz of pork, chicken, etc. Are how many grams in egg whites vs. whole eggs?

Yes, you can get Protein count books; my surgeon gives one to each patient in a "goodie bag" preop.

I'll have to check Amazon. My surgeon doesn't have anything like that and I do think it would really be helpful for me.

You could use online tools; not as handy but they're widely available. Most of the calorie counting websites also include Protein amounts.

I have a number of books, but have found Fitday.com to be more accurate when compared against the book I bought for my Nutrition class. Now I use Fitday.com almost exclusively.

Hi. Here are some suggestions

http://www.highproteinfoods.net/search.aspx

Or from Google search: Protein grams Pork ounce, Protein grams chicken ounce, protein grams salmon ounce .

Google implies the word AND when you put a space between words.

Here’s another example

Google search

Pork protein grams (Ounce OR oz) This will find results for grams of protein in pork documented by the word ounce or OZ. You must use the Parentheses, Google reads this as Pork AND Protein AND Grams AND Ounces OR Oz.
