Research notes
Research notes

Just-add-water pancake mix, so the dry-mix numbers are the prepared numbers. Protein comes from whole grain wheat and oat flours, vital wheat gluten, whey protein concentrate, wheat protein isolate and milk protein concentrate, so proteinSource is mixed. Nutrition is from the Nutrition Facts image on the brand's product page (705599011627-KDK-FJ_W_Mix-Buttermilk-NFP_Ingredients.jpg; 9 servings per container): 1/2 cup (63 g) gives 220 kcal, 15 g protein, 37 g carbs, 4 g sugar and 2.5 g fat. The Amazon listing's UPC (705599011627) matches, and its summary also shows 9 servings and 220 kcal. Price rule: Amazon's current price (shipped and sold by Amazon.com), with no deal badge and no Typical price shown. The brand site sells the box for $6.45.
