Every 100 kcal of bratwurst brings 4.1 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 130th of the 133 meats in this database and 514th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 13.7 g per 100 g ranks 125th in its group.
Around 16% of the calories in bratwurst come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in bratwurst: 29.2 g of fat per 100 g against 13.7 g of protein, a ratio of 0.5 to 1.
Set against deli turkey slices, another meat entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.6 g less protein (deli turkey slices has 12.2 g per 2 slices).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving quoted here is counted by piece at 85 g, and it covers about 23% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
