To calculate the protein content in curd (yogurt), you can follow these steps:
1. *Check the nutrition label*: Look for the protein content per serving size (usually grams per 100g or per cup).
2. *Use a nutrition database*: Websites like USDA or nutrition apps provide protein content values for various types of yogurt.
3. *Calculate protein content*:
- Determine the serving size (e.g., 100g, 1 cup, or 1 liter).
- Multiply the protein content per serving size by the amount you're consuming.
For example, if 100g of curd contains 8g of protein, and you're consuming 200g, the protein content would be:
200g x (8g/100g) = 16g of protein
Keep in mind that protein content may vary depending on the type of milk, brand, and processing method.
