Nutritional Efficiency Report

protein is a very low-calorie food with elite-protein content. At 44 kcal per 100g, it delivers 55g of protein — representing 500% of its total caloric load. Carbohydrates account for 136% and fats for 123% of calories.

"Efficiency Score 1.00 — this asset ranks in the top tier of the DataFood database for protein delivery per calorie. Optimal for fat loss, lean bulking, and body recomposition phases."

At 15g carbs per 100g, it is better suited to carb-cycling or maintenance phases.

With only 44 kcal per 100g, protein is a high-volume food — you can consume a large serving while keeping total caloric intake controlled. This makes it particularly effective for hunger management in deficit phases.

Ketosis Impact

At 15g carbs per 100g, it is better suited to carb-cycling or maintenance phases.

Thermic Effect (TEF)

Protein content of 55g per 100g triggers a significant Thermic Effect of Food. The body expends approximately 20–30% of protein calories during digestion, yielding a net caloric benefit compared to equivalent fat or carbohydrate sources.
