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 .
