Just been looking at this packet of Jelly I bought.

For 100g there is 56.7g of Protein and 17.0 Carbs

Hmmm! is this right?

[JayB]

whose it by?

Jelly is normally zero protein and high carbs (sugar) for the normal stuff and more or less calorie free if its sugar free stuff

That's what I thought which is why I made the thread!

[Kurtis]

prob tastes like crap

[serpent]

You gotta eat it raw to get the full benefits of the protein by the looks of it, although its nice raw anyhow.

[The New Diaby]

40p for 56.56kg of protein.

It's like £20 for 100g of protein from a professional source

Just been sainsburys and spent a £5 on them - looked a right wierdo with all that jelly lol

gelatin is from collagen extracted cow bones/skin.

lol tulse are u thick.

its 40p for 26g, so its 40p for 14.7g of protein. so for 50g of protein you would have to eat 3 1/2 whole packs of jelly. three and a half packs of jelly would cost u £1.40, making it more expensive than whey protein.

in addition not all proteins were created equal. gelatin is mostly made up of non-essential amino acids (amino acids your body can make) and is lacking in essential amino acids (amino acids ur body needs from food) making it an incomplete protein source.

gelatin is good for u (joints, skin, hair) is just a rubbish protein source.
