About these values
The record is plain tempeh, not cooked. The USDA record is "Tempeh" (SR Legacy, FDC ID 174272). It gives 20.29 g of protein and 192 kcal per 100 g.
Protein in a portion is its weight times the protein per 100 g, divided by 100. For 1 cup of tempeh: 166 × 20.29 ÷ 100 = 33.7 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.
