I’m basing this video around one question someone had related to protein on keto. I’m going to be talking about the protein amount in protein foods versus the total weight of protein foods.
For example, if you take 6oz. of ground beef and weigh it, it’s going to be about 168 grams. You might be thinking that’s way too much protein, especially considering that on keto you need to be doing moderate protein. But, you need to differentiate between the weight of the food and the protein in that food.
Just because something is a protein food doesn’t mean that it’s 100% protein unless it’s something like protein powder. But, healthy protein sources like ground beef, turkey, eggs, ground pork, and fish are not just complete protein.
For example, 6 oz. of ground beef is 168 grams protein. But, it only has 30 grams of actual protein within that food.
What else makes up the weight? — Fat and water.
I typically recommend that the average person has 3-6 oz. of protein within a meal. This amount of protein may go up depending on:
• Your metabolism
• How big you are
• How much exercise you do
• If you’re eating fewer meals
