I was going through my Diet Power software looking through their food dictionary for "Power Foods". Which are foods that have a high concentration of the required PDA for any given nutrient. When I clicked to sort by protien, it popped up soy isolate as #1 and Jello Mix or dry unsweetened gelatin mix as #2!

I pulled out a 5 year old box from the top cuboard to look at the Nutrition facts. It doesn't look like it has anything in it, but for a .03 oz package, it contains 1 gram of protien. Now one package mixes with the recommended amoutn of water will make a bowl of jello, but I wonder if you were to try to concentrate it some how if it wouldn't be an alternative to whey protien.

Has anyone heard of using jello as a protien replacement? and how possibly they did it?

I can see it now. World's Strongest Man Competition loses its sponsorship from Metrex( I spell that right?), and gains sponsorship from Jello. Bill Kazmyer is replaced by Bill Cosby...He he he.
