Protein pantry: 37 sourced records

What this topic measures

These are food-composition reference values per 100 g, not serving sizes. Cooking and water content change the comparison. The unit is g per 100 g. This topic uses ratio scoring: a value half the target and a value twice the target are equally far away, so think in multiplicative bands rather than fixed steps.

A record is a named row in the frozen catalog, not necessarily a unique entity. Some topics contain several records with the same value, and a name round accepts any record at the closest distance. The table below is the complete answer set for this topic; there is no hidden shortlist.

All 37 records

Every row links to the original source used for that record. Values are rounded for display only; the scoring engine uses the stored source value. The snapshot date and unit are part of the topic’s definition, so a current live figure may differ.

The table has 37 rows, one for each accepted record. It does not list every alias or spelling variant; the game’s name matcher handles those at answer time. If two records share a value, both remain separate rows.

The range and the gaps

The 37 records run from 0.3 g per 100 g to 31 g per 100 g. The median is 3.2 g per 100 g, with a middle half from 0.9 g per 100 g to 9 g per 100 g. The largest adjacent gap is 5.2 g per 100 g between Peanuts (raw) and Chicken breast (roasted, meat only). Every record has a distinct value in this snapshot.

The highest listed records are Chicken breast (roasted, meat only) (31 g per 100 g), Peanuts (raw) (25.8 g per 100 g), Cheddar cheese (22.9 g per 100 g). The lowest are Apple (raw, with skin) (0.3 g per 100 g), Honey (0.3 g per 100 g), Watermelon (raw) (0.6 g per 100 g). Use these as anchors before you make a ratio or year estimate; the table below gives every value.

What the table does not tell you

These are single snapshot values in g per 100 g for USDA SR Legacy · per 100 g edible portion · preparation shown. The table is not a time series, a range of typical values or a measure of uncertainty. A source can round, revise or use a different definition in a later release; the game uses the stored snapshot for every score. Read the source and the record label before treating a value as a current live measurement.

How to estimate this topic

Protein is grams per 100 g of the stated food. Use 5 g, 15 g and 30 g bands. Cooking and water content change the density; compare the same preparation, and do not confuse protein density with serving size.
