Protein per calorie
Akkawi gives about 8.5 g of protein per 100 kcal and labneh 8.4, against 4.5 for halloumi and 6.6 for white cheese (calculated) [1]. For protein on a budget of calories, akkawi and labneh go further than halloumi.
What changes the number
- Grilling or frying. Halloumi fried in oil takes up some of it, and grilling dries it out, so a grilled 100 g piece started heavier; weigh it before you cook it.
- Brands. Light and full-fat versions differ a lot. The label on the pack beats any table.
- Oil on labneh. A tablespoon of olive oil on top adds about 120 kcal (calculated).
