Goo tip! Weight in pounds divided by 2.2 equals weight in kilograms.

So easy to do.

This varies by food type. For example, 1 ounce of chicken has 8 grams of protein, 1 ounce of ground beef has 7 grams of protein, 1 ounce of cheddar cheese has 7 grams of protein, 1 ounce of American cheese has 5 grams of protein, 1 ounce of milk has 1 gram of protein, etc.
