Eating 100 Grams of Protein Per Day For Weight Loss [Does It WORK?]

[@DavidHRolex]

I’ve lost roughly 115 pounds (from 315 down to 202ish) by prioritizing protein. I’m a 6’4” guy and I wasn’t getting nearly enough as I thought. Beef eggs chicken fish cottage cheese Greek Yogurt. It kills your cravings for sugar and carbs….also makes you feel full so you don’t snack and it’s hard to overeat. Prioritizing protein while exercising 6 times a week has helped me tremendously

[@AutumnBates]

Wow! Congratulations David on your weight loss! Prioritizing protein makes such a huge difference!

[@Itsjustmaria43]

I’m supposed to have 135g of protein a day but since I have been adding 40-50g per meal I only have 2 meals because I feel so full I can’t force my body to eat the third meal.

[@mellocello187]

You can’t absorb that much protein in one meal. You might get a second or third opinion on what you are doing.

[@ri3414]

@@mellocello187that’s been debunked multiple times actually. while there’s a limit on how fast your body can absorb the protein, any excess will just reside in your gut. so there’s no limit on how *much* you can eat in one sitting

[@keenlykevynne]

Thank you for this quick tip! I’m new to making sure I’m eating enough protein and just in two weeks I see a significant change in my body ❤🎉

[@AutumnBates]

I'm so happy you found it useful! Congratulations on your progress! 👏

A nice video, Autumn!❤❤

[@BethanyDixonBiology]

Hi Team Autumn! I know she said that to calculate your specific intake you take about .7 g per pound of bodyweight, but she taught this in a more nuanced way in a previous video. If I remember correctly it's .7g of protein per pound of LEAN bodyweight---using your total bodyweight would put you over a bit, but it's really hard to eat too much protein, usually people get satiated before they overeat it. I hope this helps! Love your work, Autumn! ❤️ Thanks for everything! 🎉

[@stevegill1157]

Hi Autumn, love your posts. Would there be any chance of doing a similar video, delivering over 100grams of protein, but for those of us with gluten intolerance please? Mine causes post nasal drip, so not as severe as those who suffer with stomach issues, but I feel so much better when i eat gluten free! Many thanks, Steve

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

I think your methods are getting more popular and practice! It’s been interesting watching all these great protein sources at the grocery store become more difficult to get 🤣 every time I would buy my yogurt I remember thinking, “gosh, why aren’t people onto the benefits of this whole milk plain Greek yogurt over all this sugary nonfat stuff?” now I’m having a hard time getting my yogurt and I’m watching all the nonfat stuff Stay on the shelf!🎉 same with cottage cheese and some meat cuts. it’s great to see that people are starting to catch up on this method of eating! Hopefully the demand will boost a little supply though!

[@lauravercesi3704]

Hello Autumn! I’m 70 years old and I’m trying really hard to eat all the protein I’m supposed to eat every day! I LOVE your chia bowl!! But I was used to eat oatmeal.. is it ok if I add protein powder and yogurt to the oats? I keep getting confusing information about oats… some say it’s a powerful nutritional food and others say it’s not!!

[@Rigbycat123]

For the elderly low protein means low muscle density increasing ‘falls risk’. More likely to fall without muscles to help remain upright. Low muscle mass increases what I call the ‘splat’ factor. An elderly person falls and they hit the ground like a bag of spuds! Increasing the chances of serious injury including head injury - brain injury.

[@elizabethgracefashion]

I like to do 30 grams(ish) per meal (so 90g a day) just because it’s easy for me to split it up like that!

[@mellocello187]

Based on my “research”, that’s a good plan. We can’t really absorb more than 30 gm per meal.

[@nelidaflores1286]

I'm 65, and the daily protein is the same ? Great information. Thank you. Blessings 😇

[@glendaw5221]

What about kidney beans and lentils? Are they good sources of protein to get to 100?

[@ShoppingEmail-dr1fs]

lentils are 10% protein by weight, but the protein is not absorbed and digested, the DIAAS can let you know how to adjust to plant proteins (you have to eat more than the grams stated as it's not fully digested and absorbed, except for soy is equivalent to whey, and you need to balance the limiting amino acids). the DIAAS for cooked lentils is a score of .54-.61 (whey is 1) - have a read through the stuff online about the DIAAS. it's on Wiki as well. I never eat any beans but consider lentils a good source of carbohydrate, it's not a 'good' source of protein. you can google "Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Scores (DIAAS) of Six Cooked Chinese Pulses Fei Han" and read a bit about it. I love lentils but don't consider them a protein source, they would be 'in addition' to my animal protein.

[@AutumnBates]

Hi Glenda! Due to the quantity of beans and legumes you would need to consume to achieve your protein needs, if you're plant based, soy products like tempeh are a much better option due to the lower starch content. You can check out my video here for more details on the best plant based sources to reach your protein needs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpOWc32JZdygprssi=qurol5BkysIQchGp

[@glendaw5221]

Thanks Autumn for your reply. I do eat meat. I’ve just been adding beans of all kinds to my meals to round out the protein. For example: kale with seasoned 0:02 hamburger meat, beans and a couple of boiled eggs. A few almonds mixed in.

[@Lifeandluxdelights]

If we take more of the low quality protein can we catch up with the high quality protein? Im lactose intolerant and pea protein is what I am using in my smoothie but didn’t know it’s not a good quality protein. I feel very full and satisfied after having it though. I also heard soya is not a great substitute. Help please!!

[@seemabains7692]

Would making cottage cheese chips in the air fryer change the benefits of the cottage cheese or is that still ok?

[@andreawatson6748]

What are the rules/ guidelines when putting together meals? I'm just under 350lb and am aiming for under 200lb. I'm referring to types of veggies, carbs, when to add carbs, like what to pair with your protein in a bit more detail.

[@julesalison325]

Hi Autumn. I am a 52 year old woman dealing with perimenopausal weight gain. I am struggling with finding the balance between getting higher protein while also trying to eat less overall and do some length of intermittent fasting most days (I don’t go too long, mostly 12-15 hours). Ugh. It’s so hard to figure out anything that really works anymore 😢 I would love a video geared towards this issue!

[@AutumnBates]

Hi Jules! I do have a few videos on hormone balance and menopause that you may find helpful. I recommend starting with this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5uYnpeFj7JmsK8si=RCyFL2zlgHnRodho

Hi Stephanie! It’s always about balance - you need the growth factor but you also don’t want it *always* to be stimulated. That’s why I prefer meals, not snacks which helps to promote that balance.

[@stephanieb2697]

@@AutumnBates Thank you for the reply. I guess that's where intermittent fasting comes in too? Balancing the growth factor.

[@stevewalle1465]

Do I use my current or target weight when calculating protein needs? I’m assuming target.

[@AutumnBates]

Hi Steve! To calculate your protein needs, if you have a BMI greater than 30, then you will want to use your goal body weight.

I tried to upp my protein intake recently to around 100gr but it tends to clog me up too much.. I find it hard to eat more than 50/60gr of protein per day (my weigh is around 62kg/136 pounds). Anyone with similar experience?

[@brandinstephens9933]

Autumn bates married Brandin Stephens

[@rhirhiros3]

So this might sound silly… Is it .7 g times current body weight or goal weight? I mean, that's like you know 20-30 g difference depending on how much weight you wanna lose. I know it's a stupid question, but it doesn't seem obvious to me right now. Yeah I just shoot for 100 because I feel like that's good enough and it's really hard to even get there for me.

[@Kathy-ie9lt]

She has in the video to use your current weight times .73 which will give you the total grams of protein needed per day. But what confuses me is that she has a pop up on the screen that has an *unless your BMI is over 30. But she doesn't explain in the video what to do if your BMI is over 30.

[@nancyelizabeth8364]

[@mickh6684]

I weigh 300 lbs is 200g of protein correct?

[@mellocello187]

If a lot of that is fat, subtract the fat and recalculate. 200 gm is more than can be absorbed. It’s also very hard on the kidneys.

[@SLocky82]

I get in around 130-150g protein a day, it has helped me to track macros to reach this and sustain it

[@aprilfarago3935]

What do you generally eat in a day to get this much? I'm just trying to hit 100gms, but struggling.

[@SLocky82]

@aprilfarago3935 Usually chicken sausage with eggs(then bulked up with egg whites) with mushrooms/avocado/spinach...kind of like a scramble and a side of berries Lunch is either leftovers from night before such as a beef taco bowl, or tuna slaw salad, then I have a yoghurt bowl with homemade granola and apple/nut butter Dinner I like to mix it up, tonight I'm having Salmon with green beans and some roasted veg, but I plan the meal around my protein and go from there. I do also bake some low sugar, high protein 'desserts' on a Sunday for the week ahead and have something before I start my fast, for me life's too short to not enjoy something sweet 😋 and ot also helps boost protein intake Egg whites are brilliant for this too as you can bulk up meals yo add protein without too many calories

[@aprilfarago3935]

@SLocky82 Thank you so much for all that info! That actually sounds so yummy. Totally agree with you on life being too short to not have something sweet. I love to bake, but all my dessert recipes have an insane amount of sugar 😵‍💫 I've screenshotted your reply, and I'm going to use it for inspo when I don't know what to eat. Thanks again 😊

Its good she speak so fast for some reasons 1.it helps concentreate in what she say. 2. Videos are short and makes you what you want to see it. 3.it give enthusiasm to hear her instead of monotonic slow voice that is boring.
