Ponmo has no nutritional value but has calories. So for weight loss, Moderation is key
It has also been pointed out that ponmo may contain some protein. Collagen is a protein in skin, muscle, and meat of animals but there is something called Protein Quality. Collagen is not a complete protein because it is lacking in the amino acid tryptophan.
From a nutritional point of view, collagen and gelatin are poor-quality sole source of protein since they do not contain all the essential amino acids in the proportions that the human body requires—they are not ‘complete proteins’.
