Hahaha, you include protien from oats? :lol:

It comes down to weither it is a complete protien source - where all the required amino's are available.

Personally these are the only things I add up in my protien calcs.

Meat

Eggs

Fish

Whey

I don't include things like beans and nuts as their bio availability is low.. and protien absorbtion is therefore lower than those of above.

I wouldn't bother calculating the exact amount of calories you are taking in... It is impossible to tell how many you are burning each day.

Whey + Dairy

Pretty much what SamWelly said. Unless you're a vegetarian, or don't eat meat and don't eat dairy products, the protein from vegetable sources is so negligible that it shouldn't really be considered. If you need 180g of protein a day aim to get that from quality complete protein sources - ie. animal protein. The 10 or 20g extra you might get from incomplete protein sources is just a bonus.

Of course you count calories from veges, oats, sauces etc - just don't place any value into the protein they're providing.

Oats: (50g)

Cals - 304

P: 13.1g

C: 51.7g

F: 5.4g

Do you mean 100g?
