List of foods sorted by protein per calorie

[haidut]

A spreadsheet list and an image. Since this came from a "fitness" blog it has non-Peatarian foods but I think it may be useful for people trying to increase their protein intake efficiently (i.e. with less ingested bulk).

HI Haidut,
Do you understand what the heading on column C is supposed to be? It looks like the units are grams per pound, but that can't be right.

I suppose it means g/GBP where GBP is a British pound - i.e. the monetary unit. The person who created it lives in Britain so that's what they used as a unit.

The problem with these lists is that they differ per country. For instance,I've seen a couple of things on there that are listed higher in protein,then listed on the labels over here.
I also noticed that even for most meat&fish in the supermarket in Germany are a couple of grams higher in protein than over here.

Also over here,I notice a lot of different variations in macros between the same foods from different brands etc. It always makes me wonder which source to trust and/or how acurate some are in listing their macros,fat&carbcontent (sugars/starch,sat.fats,MUFAS,PUFAS possible hidden transfats etc.)
