Every 100 kcal of corned beef hash brings 5.3 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 123rd of the 133 meats in this database and 452nd of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 8.73 g per 100 g ranks 133rd in its group.
Around 21% of the calories in corned beef hash come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. 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 corned beef hash: 10.2 g of fat per 100 g against 8.73 g of protein, a ratio of 0.9 to 1.
Set against chicken thigh, another meat entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g less protein (chicken thigh has 21.1 g per 3 oz cooked).
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 measured by volume at 236 g, and it covers about 41% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
Diluted with potato, so a cup delivers much less protein than a cup of plain corned beef.
