If it's 88% protein that may not be much if the enitre packet has only one or two grams of protein. I've not heard of anyone supplementing with gelatin.

Keep this in mind for your protein needs:

For sedentary (inactive) individuals, protein instake is based on the RDA of 0.8 g/kg bodyweight

For strength athletes, protein intake should approximate 1.6 g/kg bodyweight

For endurance athletes, protein intake of 1.3 g/kg bodyweight is recommended

If you want to convert this to pounds take the grams of protein and multiply it by 2.2.
