Not for protein. It is fuel for training. One serving (1 handful · 30 g) has 182 kcal and 5 g protein.

Why

• 3 g protein per 100 kcal (low; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
• 182 kcal a serving is 7% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 5 g is 4% of 140 g protein.
• Fat gives 80% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.

The portion to aim for

Even 2 handfuls gives 11 g protein (364 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
