You still don;t get why looking at protein content in
terms of calories is not the correct way to figure out
protein. Ally already explained it.
So if you don;t want to know about that, that's up to
you.

Good point, ThomasLantern. And it's probably the most important point.
But there IS a right way and a wrong way to read the nutritiondata charts if that's what you're into. And that's pretty much what Kohlrabi seems to be saying.
So here's a simpler explanation of what I entered previously:

Here's a web site that shows hair loss can be an
indication you are not getting enough protein.
This is just for women.
You might want to check it out.
Losing weight is nice, but not at the expense

Narz,
What it says is % daily value. It's not clear to me that they mean
RDA.
If I go by pure percentage, it's even less. 1.2 grams out of 100
is only 1.2 %, not 2%.
