Eating shrimp is one of the worst things you could do for our oceans. Please don't eat shrimp, regardless of how good it is for you. For every pound of shrimp that's caught, 20 lbs of other marine life (ie: juvenile snapper, turtles, etc.) is also caught, killed, and discarded as by-catch. Shrimp is caught by dragging massive nets across the ocean floor, which SEVERELY messes up ecosystems. The commercial shrimping industry has the highest rate of incidental by-catch of any seafood.

Thanks for the chart and information on protein foods. I went through gastric bypass surgery earlier this year and of course spent time talking with plenty of doctors and a nutritionist. Mostly it was prep work for after surgery and healthy eating advice, but a chart like this would of been really helpful. I'm not a big fan of the protein powders so I try to get it in my food, after looking at this chart I'm probably not always getting enough protein. This helps a lot, thanks again. Oh, I have lost over 100lbs since surgery for those curious.

[@archaeobard1]

Kefir!! I used to eat Greek yoghurt but have switched to this. 100g gives me 70 calories, 12g protein for 3.5 carbs. Sometimes I'll mix in a scoop of choc flavour whey powder. That adds 80 calories, 1g carbs, and 17g protein. So I get 29g protein for 150 calories.

[@thisgirl5539]

Amazing!

[@valerina01]

This is great info! Thank you. I like chick peas more for the fiber than the protein content and always shake my head when I hear people say it’s a "great" source of protein.

[@ak1996able]

Great (convenient )source of protein. This is because they make chickpea pasta so compared to wheat it is a “great” source. Lentils also fall into same category of convenient protein because they make red lentil pasta

This was super helpful, thank you! I am trying to eat around 100g per day and it's hard, but this gave me some ideas and made me not feel badly for eating a decent amount of red meat and shrimp. Not really hungry for lunch today but getting up now to have some turkey, and cheese stick, and some coleslaw. Not the highest/best but something I can assemble and eat in about 5 min! I'm surprised you didn't rate cheese - so many people tell me it's good for protein but I treat it as a delicious fat instead.

[@debbiesivertson817]

Thank you ❤❤❤!!!

[@ApostolosKatsioulas]

Dear Autumn, I am not a nutritionist as you. When it comes down to white meat cuts, I've always felt better when consuming turkey rather than chicken, I don't believe turkey should be ranked lower than chicken, therefore. We don't have bison meat in Greece in supermarkets; you could find in some butcher shops, but it's too expensive. Salmon and eggs, I am addicted to both, I would rank eggs though excellent. I can't say much when it comes to plant-based protein sources, having read much about soy I am not a fan of any of its products. When it comes to beans and legumes, I've read that consuming spinach alongside chickpeas assists in the absorption of nutrients. Quinoa is a reliable source of carbohydrates; it's like peanut butter as you mention in videos; useful source of fat, not protein. Thanks for the video, much love

[@christinelamb1167]

I'm with you on turkey! I don't really care for chicken that much. It doesn't taste very good to me, and I don't feel great when I eat it. But I LOVE turkey! It's so delicious, and I feel so good and satisfied with it as part of a meal. I like salmon and eggs alot, too! I also really like sardines and anchovies, although I've only ever had the canned variety. I'd love to try fresh sardines and anchovies! Do you get those types of fish fresh in Greece?

[@ApostolosKatsioulas]

@@christinelamb1167 We do get fresh sardines and anchovies, both are cheaper than salmon, way cheaper. I don't mind canned ones either but when buying canned ones opt for the ones in olive oil and not sunflower oil. Turkey is more flavorsome than chicken and I've always felt more satiated than with chicken; it must be due to its higher content in tryptophan than chicken.

[@AlyssaEveMitchel93]

Turkey should have a higher ranking

[@Tdragonfly]

Could you compare whole eggs to egg whites also, pretty please? I have high cholesterol and am also trying to lose weight and I can’t figure out which is best for me I can eat like 7 eggs no problem (or 9-10 egg whites) and I enjoy them both equally

[@Williamthefourth]

here is my issue. I am a big guy. I am on wegovy. I lift 5 or 6 days a week and am not gaining muscle. meaning just visually. But I can lift more and more reps etc. so I do know that I am gaining muscle and strength. I am about 290 lbs and am 6f2. my whey protein has 40 grams of protein per scoop and I have one in the morning and one at night. Obviously its not enough for the day. But with the wegovy, its tough to eat a ton. what are some great things I can eat that are high in protein that wont make me feel completely full and gross? Also that are quick to make? I dont wanna start making crazy meals at 730pm at night and scrubbing pans at 9pm. Quick and easy in the oven or the air fryer is good. Thanks

I have been drinking protein shakes made with powder,low fat plain Greek yogurt,frozen strawberries and water. I have been doing this over a year.

But when thinking back when I started gaining weight was also around the same time I started drinking the protein smoothies for breakfast. Can weight gain happen drinking protein drinks for breakfast?

[@normanquednau]

as a vegan I saw with interest your video. To me, this table is oversimplified. let me explain why: I know pople (myself included) that become sick when eating animal products. I thrive on beans, especially edamame and cruciferous greens, as well as seeds and nuts. On the flipside, I know people with heavy autoinmune dieseases which got healthy with a carnivore diet (mikhaila Peterson eg). So... which is right? we gotta find out for ourselves. Even the exact amount of proteins we need differs a lot from person to person. I dont need very much protein, about 70-80 g per day

[@MultiKatieBee]

If you feel sick after eating animal protein, you most likely are allergic to it, but you need to visit an allergist and undergo testing to confirm that.
