I guess a lot would also depend on what kind of brewers grain it is originally derived from ... grains can be anything from
Malt
Barley
Rye
Wheat
Oats
Corn
Rice
(or a combo thereof)
So your analysis may vary a little, and becuase of that I would only advocate it as a snack, not a source of daily sustanance ...
I assume that analysis is based on the typical varietal grains sold in kits..

> It is important to note these nutritional values are for DRY brewers grains. A Kg (1000 g) of dry grain will typically absorb 500 g of water thus wet mash is 33% water which significantly reduces the nutritional values. For example 21% dry (Int. Feed Number 5-02-142) reduces Protein to 4.9%, Calcium: 0.07%.
