A typical 1 bar serving of meal replacement bar contains 7.6 grams of protein (22.4 g per 100 g), which makes it a good source of protein. That covers roughly 15% of the 50 g reference Daily Value, so it adds toward your protein total for the day.
Around 23% of the calories in meal replacement bar come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
Among the 11 protein supplements in the database, meal replacement bar ranks 10th by protein per serving, and 366th out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against gelatin powder, another protein supplement entry in the database, a serving carries about 1.6 g more protein (gelatin powder has 6 g per 1 envelope).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is counted by piece at 34 g. Because pieces vary, the per-100 g figure is the one to use when comparing this against a food measured a different way.
