Around 15% of the calories in soy nut butter come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. 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 31 soy foods in the database, soy nut butter ranks 19th by protein per serving, and 371st out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against meatless deli slices, another soy food entry in the database, a serving carries about 2.4 g more protein (meatless deli slices has 5 g per 1 slice).
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 measured by volume at 32 g. The per-100 g figure lets you compare it directly against any other food here, whatever its serving.
