Protein rank and density: oat bran bread

Every 100 kcal of oat bran bread brings 4.4 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 12th of the 111 grains in this database and 498th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 10.4 g per 100 g ranks 37th in its group.

Around 18% of the calories in oat bran bread 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, oat bran bread has 2.4 g of protein for each gram of fat (10.4 g against 4.4 g per 100 g).

Set against instant rice, another grain entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g less protein (instant rice has 3.6 g per 1 cup cooked).

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 30 g, and it covers about 6% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
