    It's normally on the packets, but the US nutrition association ( dunno the name of it off hand) has a website with all the values. Chicken is generally 28g/100g protein, steak 23 (depends on cut though) etc etc. One thing to note however, is the difference between primary and secondary protein sources.

    On a packet of rice you'll see about 12g protein per 100g. This is not usable as a protein like that in chicken - it is incomplete and lacks a full amino acid profile. However, you can take a complementary food to make that 12g usable. In the case of rice, kidney beans complement it. I have a supplement by Optimum Nutrition called Liquid Amino that has the full frofile of aminos and peptides which is like a skeleton key for all secondary proteins - dead handy to have with carb meals...

    Yes - grains complement pulses, its a handy code. Hence the near balance of eating beans on toast.
