Re point 2. The body can convert glucogenic amino acids (from protein) to glucose. If the body is in caloric surplus it can convert glucose to fat. I'm not aware of a process in the body for converting protein directly into fat 🤔 Please call it out if you know of such a process.

There's a huge difference between 0.8g per KG of body weight vs 0.75g of protein per pound of body weight. I've always found the American system tells you to eat over 100g of protein per day which imo isn't sustainable.

i generally aim for about 150-200g of protein (No more than 200g otherwise the protein farts are real) In terms of carbs, when I'm bulking ill generally do about 250-300g sometimes ill go closer to 350. For fats, its generally between 50 and 100g of fats.

[@nk53nxg]

I would say; try not eating out of a packet, especially high shelf life foods as they will be full of preservatives and highly processed. These foods tend to be full of what they call obeseogens these days (and other crap). A mixture of fresh fruit, veg and lean meat portions are enough, and you can make it taste great if you know how. Nothing wrong with a sweet treat now and again, just not everyday. An example of the worst food to eat is shortbread, basically this is sugar, butter and refined wheat flour, not good at all. I have a habit of eating too much refined carbohydrates myself such as bread and pasta, these can make you put on weight and make it hard to shift, even too much rice can make you chubby. I also have poor portion control, which is also important but also quite hard to work out what is the right volume to eat based on age and physical activity. I lost and maintaned to a good weight for a long while through portion control, diet choices and moderate exercise, but got ill (possibly covid) and it smashed my exercise routine. Hard to get that routine back, although getting there.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is a modest 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound.

That applies just for prevention of muscular atrophy.

[@andrawochesen]

Super informative and I'm going to be starting your 6 week challenge this week. But you might want to include some women in this video!! Funny snippets inserted and of course men/ protein is the cliche but you could really be speaking to women - especially in the 'not eating enough' mistake. Unless your target market is only men, which I don't believe it is.

[@trueblueryu5713]

On that first point, even if the calorie count is fairly low, if the sugar is high or it has any notable amount of trans fat, then it can negatively impact your gains, or even your health in general

So I was wondering...if nuts are not the best source of protein due to their high calories and fat content, what would you recommend as an alternative, high-protein snack?

[@marcomendez5010]

You can try no sugar added beef jerky.

[@mysteryakatsuki]

Unless you are on a low carb keto diet, fat content doesn't really matter. Almonds and walnuts are top tier nuts cause they can make you feel full from the fiber. If you are doing a high carb low fat diet, then you will be better off drinking protein shakes and fruit and vegetables.

[@InfamousKiddXD]

Doesn’t matter what you eat if you stay in your macros for weight loss If your maintenance caloric intake is 2000 calories And you want to lose weight You must drop 300 to 500 calories So 1500 calories a day 60% protein 15% fat 25% carbs Just an example Or 50% protein 30% carbs 20% fat If you stay within those 1500 calories it doesn’t matter what you eat so long as it fits those macros Pizza Protein bars Etc I do minimize sugars though

But most ppl won’t be able to stay in a calorie deficit if the foods are not filling. In a make believe, Barbie world- sure. 👍 😮

3/4 of a gram per pound, how much is that in metric??

[@Hamu1122]

Just google kg to lbs. then convert your weight in kg to lbs. then it’s simply your body weight in lbs * 0,75 on your calculator. Now you got 3/4 of your body weight in lbs = how many grams of protein you should eat in a day. Hope you understand

[@ZmanShow]

If your losing weight but still pretty obese, is the .75 grams per Lb. Still a good idea? Of what I’ve been tracking through MFP I’ve been getting between 130-150 grams a day, And I’ve lost 30 lb so far. Actually just broke a plateau since I went too low with calories. So im down from 350 to 319 and the calculation says I should be consuming 239 grams of protein? That just seems like a lot

Thats very impossible to do here in NZ. Eggs are $7 a tray of 12 Tuna is $3 a tin And chicken breast is $17 a kg. My shopping food alone for myself is $130 aweek.

[@ilianstoimenov6619]

Similar situation in Bulgaria, only chicken is a bit cheaper. But still you can find a way to eat healthy, I am sure. Fish can be bought from a market and not in cans, no need to be tuna, any kind is better than processed food. Pork meat is also fine if you track calories and it is better for your health than chicken anyway.

[@thomaswilson7153]

@ilianstoimenov6619 yeah there are little ways to get around it. I bought a big deap freezer and go to a shop called frozen direct. Bulk buy frozen veges and get all the good ones like spinach, corn, broccoli, sweet potatoes and pumpkins. Their meats are little processed but i work around it by doing right serving sizes and supplementing whey protein to reach my 150gms aday.

[@vazquezcarlos]

Yeah, eggs are more expensive everywhere, but that's still 60 cents an egg...much cheaper than other whole protein sources.

[@RogueAlien84]

Go for mackerel instead of tuna or salmon. Go for pork tenderloin or sirloin and buy more when you find them at discount and place in freezer. Regarding frozen vegetables, try buying the specific/own brand of the store instead of other brands more expensive.

Its all crabohydrate rich stuff.. thats why people get fat. Its way unblanced. Researcher claim that carbohydrates make us sick on the cell level. That's .. excess carbs, and I believe that. Its about balance, and most peoples balance heavily on the carbs side. Anyway.. it makes sense for me seeing my weight gain and lose related to carbs intake.
