Zucchini delivers 14.2 calories per gram of protein. Compare this against leaner protein sources if you are optimizing your protein-to-calorie efficiency.
The general guideline is 0.8g per kg for sedentary adults (roughly 50g/day), 1.2 to 1.6g per kg for active individuals (roughly 100g/day), and up to 2g per kg for athletes (roughly 150g/day). Zucchini at 1.5g per 1 cup can be a meaningful part of reaching those targets.
Cooking does not destroy protein, but it changes the weight and water content of Zucchini. Raw and cooked weights differ, so always log Zucchini by the state you are actually consuming it in. FitCommit's camera scanner handles both raw and cooked versions.
Within the vegetables category, Zucchini ranks based on its 1.2g of protein per 100g. Check the related foods section to compare it to similar options. FitCommit's database covers 200 common foods with full protein breakdowns.
