Corned beef is fairly high in protein: around 15–27 g of protein per 100 g serving, depending on whether it’s raw brisket, cooked, or canned.

Quick Scoop

  • Typical range : about 15–27 g protein per 100 g of corned beef.
  • Canned corned beef: roughly 18–27 g protein per 100 g (brands and recipes vary).
  • Raw corned beef brisket: about 15 g protein per 100 g before cooking.
  • Like other beef, it’s a complete protein with all essential amino acids.

Simple rule of thumb

If you have a “deck-of-cards” sized portion (about 3 oz / 85 g) of corned beef, you’re usually getting roughly 14–20 g of protein from that serving.
