About these values

The record is regular sliced ham with about 11% fat. The USDA record is "Ham, sliced, regular (approximately 11% fat)" (SR Legacy, FDC ID 173864). It gives 16.6 g of protein and 164 kcal per 100 g.

Protein in a portion is its weight times the protein per 100 g, divided by 100. For 1 slice of ham: 28 × 16.6 ÷ 100 = 4.6 g. Values on this page are rounded to 0.1 g.

A packaged food's own label can differ from the USDA average. When you have the label, its numbers are the ones for that product.
