hey guys today we’re gonna talk about protein in Quito 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 three to six ounces on average a protein per meal okay but people know no 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 six ounces of whole chicken that’s only going to 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 six 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 six ounces of lobster is 32 grams of protein and then we have four eggs which is 28 grams of protein okay so generally speaking one 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 want to 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 three ounces see how you feel next meal you do six ounces see how you feel sometimes people need a little bit more on average I find that I need about four 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 if you’re liking this content please subscribe now and I will actually keep you updated on future videos
