so I’ve been talking about the importance of magnesium in other videos but I wanted to create a video on what foods are high in magnesium that are also keto friendly so men need about 420 milligrams of magnesium every single day women are a little less three hundred and twenty milligrams of magnesium every single day and there’s quite a few foods that have a good amount of magnesium that are not keto friendly so we’re not gonna recommend it like fruit grain potato beans legumes and even tofu but I will say that if you are vegan and you’re trying to do keto some tofu might be okay as long as it’s organic but generally speaking and not recommending it I remember one time I went to Whole Foods and I saw these little chicken nuggets they look really good so I got some and I started consuming them and they just tasted very very strange and I ate quite a bit of them and I started getting really really sick well come to find out they weren’t chicken they were tofu chicken and didn’t like it too much let’s go with number one pumpkin seeds have a tremendous amount of magnesium a hundred and fifty milligrams per ounce that’s three tablespoons all right number two spinach at a hundred and fifty seven milligrams per cup now if you’re a female you need three hundred and twenty milligrams so you can see that two cups of spinach will easily give you that requirement okay and then we have almonds at 80 milligrams per ounce so in salmon has about 53 milligrams and if you wanted a visual of what that would look like it would be about half of a fillet and then you have chocolate which has 64 milligrams per ounce okay avocado 58 milligrams per medium-sized avocado so you’d have to consume quite a few avocados to reach your daily requirements so again it’s not that high but it’s higher than other foods okay Swiss chard has 29 milligrams per cut okay and then cashews have about 28 milligrams per ounce so as I’m looking at this chart right here it’s gonna be pretty easy to get your magnesium if you’re doing spinach or Swiss chard or other leafy greens that I did not mention here you can also do pumpkin seeds which seems to be pretty easy so all you would have to do is consume several ounces of pumpkin seeds to get your daily amount of magnesium but I wanted to give you a few reference points on magnesium and how difficult it is if you look at the foods that have the most magnesium of any of the foods and this explains why the majority of the population just doesn’t get enough magnesium nor potassium for that matter they don’t consume enough greens they’re probably not consuming pumpkin seeds they might be consuming a lot of chocolate but of course with the sugar when I’m recommending chocolate I’m recommending the sugar-free chocolate and if you have not seen some of my other videos on magnesium I put them on the screen right here check them out
