Every 100 kcal of meatless sausage brings 8 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 22nd of the 31 soy foods in this database and 308th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 20.3 g per 100 g ranks 7th in its group.
Protein accounts for roughly 32% of the calories in meatless sausage, making it moderately protein-dense. The rest comes from fat and carbohydrate, so it adds a solid amount of protein while still carrying real energy - useful when you are eating to a calorie target rather than under one.
Weight for weight, meatless sausage has 1.1 g of protein for each gram of fat (20.3 g against 18.2 g per 100 g).
Set against unsweetened soy milk, another soy food entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.8 g more protein (unsweetened soy milk has 6.9 g per 1 cup).
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 38 g, and it covers about 15% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
