Protein On Keto Diet Clarified - Dr.Berg

Hey , guys .

Today , we're gonna talk about protein in keto .

I'm gonna clarify a confusion that keeps coming up over and over and over again .

Okay ?

So this is a clarification on this one point .

Okay ?

And that is this .

I've been recommending 3 to 6 ounces on average of protein per meal .

Okay ?

But people wanna know is that the actual weight of the meat or the fish or the egg , or is that the protein in the meat , chicken or fish or egg ?

Okay .

So when I talk about 3 to 6 ounces , I'm talking about the actual weight of the whole product as steak , lamb , chicken , or whatever .

Okay ?

Take a look at this .

So let's say , for example , we have 6 ounces of whole chicken .

That's only gonna give us 56 grams of protein .

6 ounces of steak is 52 grams .

And then lamb , we have 46 grams .

These are all the same amounts .

Pork , 6 ounces of pork is 44 grams .

6 ounces of salmon is 44 grams .

So you can see that they all vary .

They're not the same .

And then we have 6 ounces of lobster is 32 grams of protein .

And then we have 4 eggs which is 28 grams of protein .

Okay ?

So generally speaking , 1 ounce of any of these protein weighs about 28 grams , but it has on average about between 7 to 8 grams of protein in that total amount .

So you can see that they're not the same .

Did you get that ?

So I just wanted to kind of really clarify this one point .

So this amount is not the actual protein in their product .

It's the amount of that meat or fish or egg .

Okay ?

So the last thing people wanna know is how much protein do you need .

That varies depending on your metabolism , your size , your age , how much stress that you're going through , how many body problems you have , your ability to digest that protein .

I would recommend experimenting .

Okay .

So in one meal , you just do 3 ounces , see how you feel .

Next meal , you do 6 ounces , see how you feel .

Sometimes people need a little bit more .

On average , I find that I need about 4 ounces of protein per meal , to feel really , really good .

And I'm talking about energy , strength , endurance , that type of thing .

Alright .

Thanks for watching .
