    It varies depending on which protein powder you use. The EAS brands are 33g/scoop.

    That statement makes another point: make sure to get the brand AND product exactly right. My EAS powder is 21g/scoop.

    "Scoop" is not a standard unit of measurement. Grams are. So are cups and tbsp but it won't be consistent going by volume.

    I use teras'swhey grass fed protein powder and 2 scoops equals 28 grams or 5 tablespoons. One scoop is 14 grams or 2.5 Tablespoons according to their web site. I wish they would put better info. on the cans. I want to know how many grams are in one Tablespoon? I am guessing around 6 ish. Math is not my deal.

    A scoop is usually about 1/3 of a cup, I believe.
    It varies a lot- 1/3 may or may not be right.....................don't assume.

    WEIGH YOUR PROTEIN POWDER.

    I cannot stress this enough. I weigh mine every time I mix it and a scoop is never exactly a scoop. Unless you've packed it down completely (and who does that?) you're going to get a different amount of powder every time you mix.

    When I get a level scoop of protein powder that's supposed to equal 28g, it usually ends up weighing about 23g. If I just went by the "one scoop" measure, I'd be shorting myself about 25% of the protein!

    Weigh it! It takes two seconds!

    I totally agree - when I see people referencing volume measures like teaspoons, scoops, cups, etc., I hope they understand that these lack the same precision as using a scale and measuring in grams and ounces. I add protein powder to my yogurt every day and always use the scale instead of the scoop.

    It doesn't matter how many grams in a tablespoon if you weigh it.
