Why do you think 1 chicken breast has 100g of protein? What is the source

of that information?

It probably has about 100 calories, but that's different from grams of protein.

1 gram of protein has 4 calories

1 gram of carb has 4 calories

1 gram of fat has 9 calories

Does that help?

I am giving a presentation tomorrow in which two of my doctors will be present.

The topic is protein in regards to bariatric patients. One of my docs is a huge

proponent of protein supplements and thinks the more a patient take in at once,

the better. (Example two protein shakes for a breakfast is much better than 1

shake and some solid food) I remember reading somewhere that the body may not be

able to benefit from high dosages at one time and therefore most of the protein

would be excreted from dosages above 30 grams. I can't find any literature to

support anything though. Can anyone help?
