Sek Protein Plain Quark - How Many Calories?

Calories and protein in a tub of SEK plain protein quark

A 165 g tub provides 139 calories and 19.8 g protein. The manufacturer's 139 calories and 20 g protein per tub are rounded versions of the per-100-g label calculation. Each 100 g supplies 84 calories, 4 g carbohydrate and 2 g fat. These figures describe the 165 g protein variety, not the ordinary 140 g plain quark or fruit flavours such as strawberry quark. [1–2]

Is quark the same as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese?

Quark is a fresh cheese. Its spoonable texture does not make it identical to yogurt, kefir curd, cottage cheese or cream cheese. Compare protein, fat, sugar and salt at the same weight before choosing between them. The protein calculation for a 150 g bowl of SEK Light yogurt is an example for a different dairy food; this quark tub’s figures do not apply to it. The same care applies to comparing yogurt varieties: a strained texture alone does not tell you the protein content.

Half a tub and added toppings

Half the tub weighs 82.5 g and contains 69 calories and 9.9 g protein. A weighed 30 g amount has 25 calories; that is not a standard spoon weight. Count oats, fruit or honey separately when you add them. The plain protein label cannot supply the answer for a 140 g blueberry tub.

Using it in a meal or after exercise

A tub can be a convenient dairy option on its own or alongside other foods. Fruit and oats add variety if you want a more substantial meal; choose amounts around your appetite and the rest of the day. Eating the tub does not build muscle by itself, and it need not fit a compulsory post-workout minute window. Your overall food intake and training matter together.

Sugar, lactose and ingredients

The listing names pasteurized cow's milk and cheese cultures. Total sugar is 1.2 g per 100 g, or 1.98 g per tub, and is already included in carbohydrate. Neither “plain” nor “protein” means lactose-free. The product is unsuitable for a milk allergy. Its 0.1 g salt per 100 g corresponds to approximately 40 mg sodium. Follow the pack's storage instructions; the listing specifies 0–4°C.
