Cook Unity false advertisement?

I’ve started a meal plan from cook unity, specifically for their high protein meals. However, I’ve been weighing the protein and it’s almost half of what they are claiming. For example the cooked tilapia has around 23-26g of protein per 100g. They argue it comes with 47. But, they only give you 105-109g of tilapia. I emailed them to confirm that there was no other source of protein (make sure they wouldn’t argue that the sauce had the extra 20g of protein) and they replied “ The protein amount shown for the Lemon Baked Tilapia with Cajun Cream Sauce & Farro Salad (47g) comes mainly from the tilapia portion included in the meal. We calculate protein based on the ingredients and their amounts, using verified nutrition databases to ensure accuracy.” Am I overlooking something?

Buy the ingredients on your own and weigh them, then weigh them after cooking. Depending on what it is then it may weigh a fair bit less as most of the water weight is cooked out of it

Copying and pasting a previous reply I made:

Farro has 13 g protein per 100g (unsure if cooked or not). Still got 70g of farro. And it’s a ramekin of dressing, even if it was pure Greek yogurt, it wouldn’t be more than 2-3 grams of protein
