Every 100 kcal of durian brings 1 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 50th of the 71 fruits in this database and 769th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 1.47 g per 100 g ranks 19th in its group.
Only about 4% of the calories in durian come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It is worth eating for other reasons; the protein it adds to a day is incidental.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in durian: 5.33 g of fat per 100 g against 1.47 g of protein, a ratio of 0.3 to 1.
Set against pomegranate, another fruit entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.7 g more protein (pomegranate has 2.9 g per 1 cup arils).
It is an incomplete protein on its own; pairing it with other plant foods across the day covers the full range of essential amino acids. The serving quoted here is measured by volume at 243 g, and it covers about 7% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
Durian carries more protein and fat than almost any other fruit.

Sample figures for one made-up week against a 110 g goal, not your data. Red bars met the goal. Your own log fills this in with Premium.
1.47 g. The 1 cup chopped serving used on this page weighs 243 g and so carries 3.6 g.
How much protein do you get per 100 calories of durian?
1 g. That figure divides its 1.47 g of protein per 100 g by its 147 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Is the protein in durian complete?
No. On its own, the protein in durian is short of at least one essential amino acid; other protein sources across the day fill the gap.
What share of the protein Daily Value is one serving of durian?
About 7%. One 1 cup chopped serving has 3.6 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
