how much protein in 16oz steak?

[horsePOWER]

just started a college nutrition class, (easy credits). first class in everything seemed like basic knowledge or review for me, however the teacher said the average 16oz steak had about 112 grams of protein. this seemed a pretty high number to me. she figured this by saying 1 oz of steak equals 7g of protein, so 7(16)=112g
just wondering everyone else opinion, we didnt discuss type or cut of meat, so i guess take it at face value.
im sure ill have many more q's throughout the semester, i'll want to run by the many gurus here.

i belive that each ounce of steak has about 5-6 grams of protien but i dont think all of it is usable because some of it gets denatured when its cooked..id guess a 16 oz steak has about 60 usable grams of protein, just my opinion


peace

at least 80grams in 16oz

more like 80-120g,depends on the cut.

okay, thanx guys.
thats a good point about usable portion, but i didnt have time bring that up.
and secondly, can 120g of protein at one serving even be digested and used? i would think theres a cut off point (person to person of course) like maybe 50g for avg. adult male. the rest being wasted.
just came back from second class tonight
nothing exciting, more review.
but i did have some homework, some q's regarding health websites. u can bet elite was the first thing i put.

there is no proven cut off point as to how much can be used

Go to a book store and buy "The Complete Book of Food Counts". It has all sorts of good info in it. There's a ton of protein in a 16 oz steak, although I can't recall exactly how much.
