    When assembling statistics for nutrition, the most honest,
    meaningful measure is always percentage-of-calories. Percentage
    of mass, with or without water, isn't important, and only serves
    to make a more impressive number without increasing enlightenment.
    Lean turkey has about 80% calories from protein; that's the
    appropriate number to quote. Soybeans approach 50%.
