How can jelly have more protein than whe

Jez Posts: 18 Joined: 2004/11/03	2004/12/13, 05:47 PM Hey All, I have been trying to put together my diet plan, and while browsing around I came across Jelly (yes, the type you have with icecream at kids parties). It has the following nutrition: Per 100g Energy: 315 Kcal Protein: 63.7g Carbs: 6.9g Fat: 0 How can this be? I mean...63 grams of protein per 100...my whey protein shake only has 75 grams per 100...am i missing something here? Is the jelly a different type of protein or something. I mean, each sachet of this jelly is 12 grams and makes about 1/4 pint of jelly. According to these figures instead of the protein shake I could have about 9 bowls of jelly, I know which id rather have! I presume the carbs will all be from sugar. Regards, A very confused Jez.
