Protein is calculated by multiplying the total nitrogen content of a food by 6.25.
Proteins are made up of a total of 20 different amino acids, ten of which the human body cannot produce on its own and must get from food.
Amino acids serve as building blocks in tissue and enzyme proteins as well as in many hormones and neurotransmitters.
Protein contains 17 kJ (4 kcal) of energy per gram.
Excess protein is not stored, but is converted into fat in the body.
