Good Morning,

I am trying to find a website that will give me a somewhat accurate protein count on whatever food I search for. I have become frustrated just trying to find the protein count of turkey. For instance, livestrong has the following stats:
6 slices = 8 grams
7 slices = 18 grams
one ounce of deli meat = 4 grams
four ounces of smoked turkey = 5.7 grams

I would like to be able to weigh out 3 ounces and know the protein amount. Of course today I'm looking for turkey but this comes up all the time. If you have a reliable source for this information please share. Thanks!

I'll tell you how you can estimate it. One ounce of meat has about seven grams of protein. It may vary slightly from one meat to another, but that is pretty close.

I think your best bet would be to get the info off the package of any food that comes in a package.
