Wow, I did not realize how much 60g of protein looks like. I weigh a bit over 150lb and your example of the food to get to 60g blew my mind.
Great video!

Perfect timing as I was trying to convince my mom to consume more protein the other day. Sent this to her.

Many times I mix a raw egg in a glass of milk. I have heard that raw egg contains more protein than boiled or fried eggs. What do you think?

It's easy to get overwhelmed by everything! With my weight and lifestyle, I need 120g of daily protein. But I also know how good intermittent fasting is for us. 120g of protein in 8 hours feels nearly impossible, especially when you can only eat ~30g of protein at a time. 30g of protein every 2 hours is so much food! I honestly don't see how I can make it work 😓

saying you only need 60g of protein per day if you're a sedentary person is like saying you only need strong bones if you're going to leave the couch — it assumes the worst as the baseline. it’s ignoring what the body actually needs to thrive, not just scrape by on bad habits. everyone should get at least 0.8g per pound of lean bodyweight because everyone should be exercising!

stop using lbs for god sake, you're already using grams, why the hell you still using lbs? You're using two diferent units in the same sentence for the same thing.

Only the eggs are good for you out all those first foods. All the other stuff is junk food.
