I ordered a 7 oz steak for lunch. The menus said the weight was before cooking. My Protein Power Lifeplan Gram Counter says a 3 oz broiled top sirloin steak has 23.6 grams protein. How do I figure out how much protein ?

It just so happens I had sirloin for dinner tonight, too :) According to Fitday, 7oz of precooked raw weight is rougly 40g of protein. There is also a carb counter under LC tools that gives all the nutrional information (not just carb counts) you can use when you need backup.

Thanks for your help Natrushka! Next time I will check the carb counter in the LC Tools section.
