===Protein per calorie===
Protein content in foods is often measured in protein per serving rather than protein per calorie. For instance, the USDA lists 6 grams of protein per large whole egg (a 50-gram serving) rather than 84&nbsp;mg of protein per calorie (71 calories total).<ref>{{cite book |title=SDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference |date=2008 |publisher=U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service |edition=Release 21}}</ref> For comparison, there are 2.8 grams of protein in a serving of raw broccoli (100 grams) or 82&nbsp;mg of protein per calorie (34 calories total), or the [[Daily Value]] of 47.67g of protein after eating 1,690g of raw broccoli a day at 574 cal.<ref name=Broccoli>{{Cite web |url=https://www.nutritionvalue.org/Broccoli%2C_raw_nutritional_value.html |title=Broccoli, raw: nutritional value and analysis |last=Vanovschi |first=Vitalii |website=www.nutritionvalue.org |access-date=4 November 2019}}</ref> An egg contains 12.5g of protein per 100g, but 4&nbsp;mg more protein per calorie, or the protein DV after 381g of egg, which is 545 cal.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.nutritionvalue.org/Egg%2C_poached%2C_cooked%2C_whole_nutritional_value.html |title=Egg, poached, cooked, whole: nutritional value and analysis |last=Vanovschi |first=Vitalii |website=www.nutritionvalue.org |access-date=4 November 2019}}</ref> The ratio of essential amino acids (the quality of protein) is not taken into account, one would actually need to eat more than 3&nbsp;kg of broccoli a day to have a healthy protein profile, and almost 6&nbsp;kg to get enough calories.<ref name=Broccoli/> It is recommended that adult humans obtain between 10–35% of their 2000 calories a day as protein.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/protein |title=Web MD Protein: Are You Getting Enough? |publisher=webmd.com |date=2014-09-05 |access-date=2015-03-31}}</ref>
