You're probably talking about dry weight. My can says 6g protein / 130 g. I'm about 100kg and to hit the 1.6 g protein/kg I need 160g of protein. 6g/130g * 3

You're probably talking about dry weight. My can says 6g protein / 130 g. I'm about 100kg and to hit the 1.6 g protein/kg I need 160g of protein. 6g/130g * 3500 g is 161 g of protein.
- rafram 9mo agoTwo numbers from the USDA: - Canned, drained and rinsed: 7g protein / 100g [1] - Boiled: 9g protein / 100g [2] Not sure what explains the discrepancy (though the second number is much older), but both are considerably higher than what your can says. Sure you aren't reading a per-serving amount?

- treis 9mo agoNope, here's the can: https://www.kroger.com/p/kroger-garbanzo-beans/0001111010648 https://www.kroger.com/p/kroger-garbanzo-beans/0001111010648
- rafram 9mo agoNet weight (3.5 * 130g = 455g) includes the liquid, which you'd normally drain before cooking. The beans themselves are much more nutrient-dense.
