Every 100 kcal of kaiser roll brings 3.4 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 50th of the 111 grains in this database and 588th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 9.9 g per 100 g ranks 41st in its group.
Around 14% of the calories in kaiser roll 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.
Weight for weight, kaiser roll has 2.3 g of protein for each gram of fat (9.9 g against 4.3 g per 100 g).
Set against chow mein noodles, another grain entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g less protein (chow mein noodles has 6.1 g per 1 cup dry).
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 counted by piece at 57 g, and it covers about 11% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
