A rough way to calculate is 1/2lb meat=60 grams of protein. The graph below shows more exact calculations.



Type Quantity Protein (g.) Fat (g.)
Turkey Breast 4 Oz. 33.9 g. 3.7 g.
Chicken breast 4 Oz 35.1 g 5.1 g.
Beef, eye of round4 Oz 33.1 g. 6.5 g.
Beef, top round 4 Oz 36.1 g. 6.7 g.
Beef, round, full cut4 Oz33.1 g. 8.3 g.
Beef, top sirloin 4 Oz 34.4 g. 9.1 g.
Salmon, Pink 5 Oz 36.0 g. 5.0 g.
Salmon, Atlantic 5 Oz 28.8 g. 9.2 g.
Salmon, Chinook 5 Oz 29.2 g. 15.2 g.

those are about 10 gr high in pro than ive ever seen on a label--more like 4oz of any meat is 22-25 gr protein----------no way there is 35gr in 4 oz of chicken breast---more like 24gr

When Im on the road, I just figure 1/2 lb meat=60 grams of protein. It varies, but not too much.
