For example, Anytime BrownieTM recipe makes 9 big servings, 167
calories & 18.5 g. protein each. Total Carbs 15 grams each, less than
a slice of whole wheat bread.
(Compare: a hamburger has just 12 grams of protein;
4 oz nonfat yogurt has 10 grams protein;
8 oz of skim milk has 8 grams, & 1 egg white just 5 grams.)

Deeelicious too! Here's the brownie:

How tiny do you make your burgers?

For a hamburger to have 12g of protein, you'd start with about 5 times as much
raw beef, or 60g. That sounds like oh, about the size of a McDonald's
hamburger.

Speaking of which, I googled up some data which pegs the McD's burger at 13
grams of protein.

So the answer is: that's how tiny.

You are completely wacko. That's two ounces. I don't know about McDonalds
burgers I haven't eaten one in years, but a low carber would eat at least
twice that much but without the bun.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the metric conversion lesson.

Yes, but we have search engines by which you can discover facts
without having to eat anything.

I haven't eaten one in years also, but I remember they are quite small, and it
struck me that it might be about two ounces of meat.

I googled up the information about the 13 grams of protein: very close to the
12 gram figure. This information could be wrong. That doesn't make me
``wacko''.

I see now that McDonald's itself provides a page which lists the protein
content as 12 grams.

http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal/nutrition_facts.html

The /total/ mass of the burger is around 100 g, or 3.5 oz.

But no, I really am a wacko. I hijacked their DNS, and mcdonalds.com
points to fake site that I created! Muhahahaha! *Sigh*

> but a low carber would eat at least twice that much but without the bun.

That's wonderfully informational, but I don't see how your personal preferences
have anything to do with answering the question of how tiny is a burger that
contains 12 grams of protein, or how speculating about that in a reasonable
way makes anyone wacko.

You seem to be behaving as if I prescribed to you that you should eat burgers
no larger than this, or something.
