Calories in protein pancakes?

[wonderwoman]

I found a receipe on this forum for protein pancakes which are absolutely delicious. The receipe is as follows

1/2 cup of each ingredient :
old fashioned oats=140 calories
egg whites=60 calories
fat free cottage cheese=80 calories
1-2 scoops of protein powder=depending on what protein powder you use mines is eas vanilla protein powder 2 scoops is 140 calories and 27 grams of protein-so I will only use 1 scoop which is 70 calories.

Total calories is approx 350 calories not sure how much protein but I know it's approx 40 grams of protein. Does this sound right to you?

Anyway my dilema is that I shared the receipe with my brother who is a trainer/chef and he says that it has to be more calories than 350 because he says even though all ingredients are 1/2 of cup, cottage cheese weighs more than the old fashion oats and the egg whites also weigh more than old fashion oats. What do you guys think?

I make a similar version minus the protein powder.
1/2 cup raw oats
1/2 cup 2% fat cottage cheese
3 large egg whites

I grill, then nuke a cup of frozen strawberries, smash the warm strawberries and pour over my pancakes.


Oats- 145 calories
cottage cheese-100
egg whites- 51
strawberries- approx 70

I'm pretty sure you are correct. He is measuring by using weight (probably grams or ounces), but that is not the same as measuring by volume.

I just looked at my cottage cheese and it says 124g for 1/2 serving. My oatmeal says 24g per 1/2 serving. So, going by what your brother says than that would mean the cottage cheese would be 400 calories, because it almost weighs 5 times more than the oatmeal. I know I'm not getting my thought across, but I know he is confusing the two ways of measuring out the items.
