not really if you are aiming to have a high protein diet--bread is mainly carbs, stick to eggs, meat, dairy, nuts, and maybe even tofu if you can stand it.

any protein besides meat, fish, poultry, whey, ect does not have all the amino acids, BCAA to build muscle. vegatables, wheat and other carbs only have about half the amino acids.

protein from carb sources is protein nontheless.

If i eat a bowl of oatmeal, that counts as 10g of protein...but its tag-along protein, its not a full out protein source.

protein sources are eggs, fish, chicken, turkey, BEEF, cottage cheese, etc.

bread is carb source, that just happens to have a little bit of protien in it.

when I wanted 35 gr protein in 1 meal I took 100 gr chicken=30 gr protein, and 2 slices of bread=6 gr protein, total=36 gr protein. But that's not enough u say because the bread doesn't count as protein?? so for example I have to take 120g chicken with 2 slices bread?

put it this way man...for your main sources of protein use dead animals, anything like bread, use for carbs. or fat.

do the calories from bread disappear? why would they not count?

bread, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, etc all count as protein, but they contain such small amounts that you cant rely on that protein alone, you have to use a something like eggs, meat, or protein powder for the main source. But yes, if you eat 1 cup of oatmeal, thats 10g of protein, so it counts towards your daily goals, but youll never get enough protein from carbs alone (unless youre eating upwards of 1000g of carbs in a day)

Wheat protein has a very low biological value and I wouldnt count any of it towards your protein requirements for your meals.

the only time that would matter is if youre taking in super low protein. the limiting aminos will be much more than compensated for in the rest of your diet.
