Not for protein. It is fuel for training. One serving (1 sandwich) has 274 kcal and 12 g protein.

Why

• 4.3 g protein per 100 kcal (moderate; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
• 274 kcal a serving is 10% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 12 g is 9% of 140 g protein.
• Fat gives 46% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.

The portion to aim for

Even 2 sandwiches gives 24 g protein (549 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
