How to Reach Your Daily Protein Goals (and what it looks like)

Do you get enough protein? Do you get too much? Let’s figure it out! Once you have your goal, how can you get enough and what can your diet look like? No one can live on egg whites and chicken breast alone!
Surprisingly, even some fruits contain protein and also provide you with other vitamins, minerals and fiber to boost your nutrition intake!
In this video I’ll tell you about recommended protein amounts depending on your age, weight and activity level. What to look for if you’re over or under your ideal and then we’ll head to the kitchen and I’ll portion out a wide variety of foods and breakdown their protein values for you. You can mix and match for your own specific needs. I hope you enjoy!
Thanks so much for watching!

Hi everyone! If you took a guess on my community page poll, did you get the right answer? By the looks of the results, not too many did! Who knew!🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@alaina2768]

I got it right. Protein is so important. I wish I knew when I was younger.

[@missyleng]

Oh I didn’t know I will check it out

Would never have guessed that cauliflower was higher than broccoli.

[@MamaTenny]

That’s why I’m here for you 😂💋

[@hpcam1]

Google says differently..

[@MamaTenny]

@@hpcam1hi there! Boy, you got me looking!!! I’ve now found cauliflower pegged at anywhere from 1.9g-4.02g protein per 100!! Apologies if I’m incorrect 😊

[@victoriatennyson]

Whoever said guava seeds are edible was mistaken 😅

[@MamaTenny]

I second that! Those seeds are lethal!😖

[@lyndaboca8111]

Nancy thank you for sharing your knowledge on protein grams/weight and how to combine friuts, nuts, and veggies with our animal protein to up our daily intake. Love this video!

[@MamaTenny]

Thank you so much Lynda! Honestly coming up with content topics can be so difficult, I really appreciated your suggestion ❤😊

[@CCKolski]

One of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks Mama Tenny! I definitely didn't pick the cauliflower over broccoli, pretty awesome fun fact.

[@MamaTenny]

Thank you! I was surprised too and thought it would be broccoli because we always hear about the famous chicken and broccoli combo! 🍗🥦

[@joannarodriguez326]

Very informative! Thank-you!

[@MamaSwole]

Mamaaaa you always look amazing😍

[@MamaTenny]

Thx Mama 🥰

I was so distracted BY THE KITCHEN REDO! It looks fabulous (and yes I loved the video too, full of great info).

[@MamaTenny]

Yay! Thank you Danielle! We’ve been at it for close to a month now and I’m trying to put everything back together (and purge some stuff along the way!)😘

[@kimjulyofficial]

Happy Sunday ❤ is that a newly renovated kitchen? Stunning!! 🤩

[@MamaTenny]

Yes it is, thanks Kim! We’ve got a little ways to go and then a lot of cleaning, my house looks like a sand storm blew through😩

[@egl3369]

Thank you for explaining the range of 0.8-1.5g protein per kg body weight. It depends on your goals, age and activity level. It's so much more realistic for your average person.

[@MamaTenny]

Yes, exactly! Thx for watching!😘

[@user-wl3nj5zs5n]

Hi! Thank you Nancy for sharing all those informations ❤ Parmesan cheese is also a great source of protein 38gr for 100gr of cheese. As the amount of fat is high, you have to eat it with modération 😉 BTW, nice kitchen renovation !

[@MamaTenny]

And who doesn’t love some fresh parm!!😋

[@missyleng]

I feel we would be friends if we lived closer! We are so similar, our families are so important to us and we are so close to our kids, we workout hard, we both hate getting old :( absolutely it sucks! If no one told you today you are beautiful!

[@MamaTenny]

Awww Missy, I know we would too! Many thanks for your kind words, all so very much appreciated ❤🥰

[@lalablotz7348]

Please please please do a tour of the kitchen remodel!

[@MamaTenny]

Ok!! One of these videos soon!😘

Sarcopenia can start even sooner in people with disabilities. Hi, Mama Tenny! I'm Charlie from Massachusetts. I have Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida.

[@MamaTenny]

Hi Charlie, welcome! I’m so happy to have you here and thank you for sharing that info, we’re all learning!😊❤

I know it's about protein but no nixing fat. It is our friend. Our nervous system can't function without it. Our brains function optimally on ketones :) Soy and seeds have omega 6.. eat sparingly

[@MamaTenny]

Not a nix in sight Elizabeth!😂 Best to you ❤

[@user-strength10]

Lets just take the Brian Shaw approach of 6-8lb's of protein a day haha (don't forget the Bison lol), would like to make mention of "complete protein" and to stick with animal proteins vs non-animal proteins due to them aminos, non-animal food only has a 50% absorbtion rate.... broscience 😎(red meats & whole eggs are best)

[@MamaTenny]

I’m always delighted with the broscience input Brad! No beer on the menu? 🍻Cheerss!

[@user-strength10]

​@@MamaTennyhaha I just got the new casamigos jalopeno tequila (smooth with a kick, if you like spice then i highly recommend) 🥃🌶

[@gabbyskitchen6640]

Fruit and veg protein are not complete protein 😊

[@MamaTenny]

Agreed! Just suggestions to add variety and a few grams of protein along the way. Thanks Gabby 😘

[@rachelmckitterick]

SGO 🤣 amen to that! I am someone who needs extra protein because if I have the recommend amount, my protein levels in my blood show as being too low. And then that causes fluid retention. I develop Kwashiorkor years ago thanks to my anorexia, and ever since I've personally required more. I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos. This is so informative and helpful. You are amazing ❤️🙏🫂💕

[@MamaTenny]

I always appreciate your comments and personal perspective Rachel. I don’t know about Kwashiorkor and will have to look it up now. All the best to you 🩷🩷

Ahh, my favorite subject- Protein!💪🏻🤍😁 super awesome and informative! Greek yogurt is definitely one of my favorite ways to get my protein in!😋 how cool is it how many foods have Protein?!🤩

You and me with the Greek yogurt!!!🇬🇷💙😂
