I’m basing this podcast around one question someone had related to a 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.

related to proteins.

0:40.9

And I wanted to just create this one video just on that one question and it

0:45.0

relates to the protein amount in protein foods versus the total weight of protein foods.

Because if you were going to take, for example,

0:55.7

six ounces of ground beef and weigh it,

it's going to be about 168 grams, right?

1:01.4

And so in their mind,'re thinking wow a hundred and sixty

1:04.9

a grams of protein that's like way too much protein because you're supposed to do a

1:08.5

moderate amount of protein but I want to differentiate the difference between the weight of the food versus the

1:17.0

protein in that food. Just because something is a protein food does not mean that it's 100% protein unless you're

1:25.0

doing some type of protein powder but when you're talking about ground beef,

1:30.3

turkey, egg, ground pork, fish.
