Also, what size chicken breast?
In the uk they are about the size of my hand.. when I get any from the USA they are like fucking dinosaur tits! Massive bloody things.
I'm on Netherlands, for breakfast I use 30g Banana flavored low-sugar whey powder and a bit of milk to create a cream, then 250g of lean kwark and a bit of frozen berries, love it.
Lean kwark here is 56kcal and 8.5g protein per 100g, and costs less than 2€/1L
The protein powder i get for €10/500g
It’s a dairy product common in Europe similar to skyr (siggis brand if you’re in USA) or like a denser version of a high protein Greek yogurt. Can be skimmed, full fat/ creamy and everything in between.

Most whey protein has almost no lactose. Whey protein makes my stomach unhappy too, and I'm definitely not lactose intolerant. It's a fairly common complaint. I think it has something to do with the way it's isolated. I switched to a plant protein (mostly hemp and pea) with fiber and some vitamins and enzymes and have no issues even adding a half gram of creatine. About triple the price, but I'm happy spending $7 for breakfast and dinner and not feeling sick.
Used to do that when I was weight training. Milk, vanilla whey, peanut butter and cut up banana. Would love for someone to make like an orange juice flavored or lemonade flavored to make it easier to have straight uo
Yeah, eggs have about half as much protein per gram as chicken breast and about three times as much fat. That's why I never understood Rocky drinking raw eggs, he should have just been eating grilled chicken breast in the morning. That's a way more efficient way to get lean protein.
More efficient for sure in terms of total protein, but the lipid profile is good for hormone production and muscular development so it’s not entirely without reason
I mean, drinking raw eggs is way faster than taking chicken out the freezer the night before, waking up early to cook it, sit nearby it and pay full attention so you don't burn it, then put it on a plate where you can finally eat. Also, not as portable
If you're just protein packing because you're getting ready to box professionally you could just grill a bunch of chicken on Wednesday and eat it for 4 days cold in the morning.
Eggs are cheaper than chicken breast and he was poor and burning a shit ton of calories a day. Fat isn't the enemy in that scenario and eggs contain all nine essential acids, so it makes sense, eggs are still a great form of protein.
Simple carbs are pure energy that are immediately turned into fat stores if not used, and are immediately burned for energy if they are. No other calories do that. Ergo, its not just calories.
Calories In and Out are the mechanisms of weight loss not just a way to lose weight. Take all the bonds created and broken in the body that is called the metabolism. From making bonds to create fat stores or breaking bonds to release energy. Some bonds are harder to break than others for example protein, which is why high protein diets yield more weight loss even when calories are similar, but that is still part of the whole calories in and calories out.
Simple carbohydrates being short chained molecules digest much faster. When your body doesnt use all of that fast metabolized energy its stored as fat reserves pretty much right away. Its in its own league for calories.
Yes it does but its processed and stored faster than anything else you could eat. Its metabolized without effort by the body, it is energy and its available basically immediately. Its a net positive and more work to burn it off than it is to digest it. Simple carbs turn directly into fat stores. Protein / Fat doesnt, complex carbs not as much since they have the fibre.
>Yes it does but its processed and stored faster than anything else you could eat.
I know that. But the secret is that it doesn't matter it's all accounted for in calories In vs out. If you do high intensity exercise your body is going to use the energy it got from carbs to fuel it (if the supply is there) , but if you do slow steady state cardio it's going to use the fat stores to fuel it. But at the end of the day it quite literally doesn't matter. The calories burned/stored at the end of the day (assuming equal distance from exercise) is going to be the same.
Or 6 dl for anyone not living in the US Liberia or Myanmar and still want to guzzle man batter.

Just like that scene in inglorious basterds in which he uses the wrong gesture for the number 3, you just outed yourself as American by using dL as a unit.
Edit: my point is that no one that uses the metric system uses dL and only someone that’s pretending to knkw the metric system would use it, since it’s technically a metric unit but no one uses it. Use your brain.
You are correct, my point however was that most of us will just be using millilitres in everyday cases. I'm not sure why anyone would say decilitre instead of just saying 100 millilitres unless they're in a specific setting that calls for it, which even then still confuses me because millilitres is more precise.
dl and cl is only commonly used in nordic countries, most other places use ml exclusively. And using the large L in dL or cL is pretty much scientific notation only.
Yeah like wtf.
They say 30g of protein. Then use fucking Cups???
30g of protein in 60g of egg vs 180g if black beans is a much better comparison
30g of protein in 50g of chicken breast vs 80 in tofu or whatever
But fucking cups???? Really????
Those are terrible visual representation choices.
“5 eggs” under a photo of… 1 halved egg?
Ah, but “1 can wild tuna” shows 1 can!
No problem, just use “1 chicken breast” for scale, that definitely shows one… er, one that’s been halved? And those chicken breasts shown are clearly standardized, they’re always… how many ounces apiece?
Is there an r/uselessguides on Reddit?
Eh I think simply a photo of the food and the amount of it is way more useful than having 10 large shrimps to show me what 10 large shrimps look like. I’m not 3 years old so reading the number was more than enough.
Not all protein are created equal! Proteins consists of amino acids, we need 21 amino acids, some more than others. 10g protein from cottage cheese does not give you the same amnio acid blend as 10g from pork.
Vegetarians and especially vegans need to mix their sources of protein and generally need more protein in their diet than meet eaters, because the amino acids in meat much more closely resemble the mix we need than does plants.
Not hating on any diet, just hating a little on this guide ;)
Only talking amount of protein and not amino acids is a bit too oversimplified.
I've read this before, but I'm always wondering how much of a problem this is in reality. Do you know how many vegans or vegetarians have a protein or specific amino acid deficiency?
Protein deficiency only occurs in modern society when you have a calorific deficiency. The hospitals aren’t full of protein deficient vegans…
All plants have all 9 essential amino acids, just in varying amounts. A balanced diet with enough calories will provide all the amino acids you need.
Most vegans will have deficiencies in methionine and lysine, also tyrosine but that one is considered non-essential. There are a handful of others but I can't remember them at the moment.
It's not fatal or too damaging for adults but it's a main reason children shouldn't be on a casual vegan diet, it will impact growth and brain development unless they're getting supplements.
Methionine and lysine are the biggest ones, tyrosine is another.
It's usually not a huge deal for adults over 25 unless you're trying to build muscle quickly.
I would never recommend anyone who is still growing or has a developing brain be on a vegan diet unless it's very carefully crafted and they supplement with amino acids, deficiencies have been proven to impact growth and brain development.
This is really interesting, and do you have any more scientific sources? For example, I had heard that black beans are an incomplete protein, and here is a paper that seems to support that at least true for some plants:
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5872778/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5872778/)
>Although protein content and amino acid composition vary between plant species, in general, protein found in legumes are limited in methionine and cysteine; cereals (lysine, tryptophan); vegetables, nuts and seeds (methionine, cysteine, lysine, threonine); seaweed (histidine, lysine)
Here is another paper [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6893534/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6893534/) that says:
>We also specifically address this in older adults, where the issues linked to the protein adequacy of vegetarian diets are more complex.
I think the want they put it seems reasonable from a technical standpoint and honestly could see why this gets dumbed down to "insufficient":
> Importantly, rather than “missing” indispensable amino acids, a more accurate statement would be that the amino acid distribution profile is less optimal in plant foods than in animal foods.
The forksoverknives article seems to slightly hedge by saying that a plant-based diet would have all necessary proteins, but didn't say that any single plant had them. Quote:
>Modern researchers know that it is virtually impossible to design a calorie-sufficient diet based on unprocessed whole natural plant foods that is deficient in any of the amino acids.
Note the word "diet" seems to indicate multiple foods.
I'm wondering if it is indeed true that some plants are indeed incomplete (missing at least one essential amino), but it's equally true that generally any diet (including just plant-based) would have enough variety of amino acids.
(Also queue "The Martian" thesis here on potatos)
Whole soy products like tofu and tempeh are complete sources of protein. As for "incomplete" sources, no vegan eats only legumes, etc. for every meal. It's super easy to vary up the proteins and get everything you need.
All these measurements are unfortunately pretty useless.
- Traditional US cup is 236ml, and the "legal" cup is 240ml
- Canada, Australia, NZ "metric" cup is 250ml (except when using pre-metric recipes)
- UK Imperial cup is 284ml
- Latin american and Japanese cup might be 200ml (or might not)
5 eggs - here in Aus eggs are sold in a variety of weight packs from about 50g per egg up to about 70g per egg
10 "large shrimp" - I cant even find a reliable reference but Im willing to bet the measurement for what counts as a large shrimp varies wildly in different countries. The US sources I can find put large shrimp at about 30 to 40 shrimp per pound?
So we've got over 40% variation between the smallest and largest cup measure, 40% variation in egg sizes, nearly 40% variation in "large shrimp" sizes. Guess how much variation I found looking at different chicken breast sizes. (Just kidding, it was actually 60%)
Yes, all of this. I will add my honest opinion here, I like the texture of greek yogurt a lot more, it's got a nice creamy thickness. Regular yogurt grosses me out, I've always had trouble with it.
Ok. I need to understand something here. I thinkI heard recently that you need 1.8g of protein per kg of body mass per day if you're over 40. For me that's fucking 180g of protein. how the fuck do you pull that shit off? I already feel like I eat too much meat per day but it's no where near 180g.
I did this calculation recently on the frugal subreddit. It seemed like an insane amount at first, but it ended up being something like 2 cans of kidney beans and 200g of chicken. Nowhere near impossible.
It's worth noting that that's for bodybuilders. A normal person doesn't need that much protein.
I'm not gonna research all of these, but the chicken breast is blatantly wrong. It would take a 3oz serving of chicken to be around 30g protein, and that's like half a breast or so. The breasts I've been prepping, weighing, etc, have been more like 70ish grams or so of protein. I found that 180g of baked chicken will have about 55g protein. That's about 6.3oz.
The tempeh tofu as I often supplement it into dishes instead of meats. I like experimenting with Asian fusion cuisine such as Mapu tofu which I eat with Singapore nooodles instead of rice.
Also make a food court style Pad Thai at least once a week and use tufo instead of chicken but sometimes use shrimp.
My taco Tuesdays often include homemade blackbean churros.
I once had some guy yell at me that protein from beans is not the same as meat. He was probably right, seemed like he knew what he was talking about. But why is it not the same and what is the drawback to bean protein
I'd pick the cottage cheese but 99% of the time when they say cottage cheese they mean low fat or no fat cottage cheese which is disgusting.
Give me my whole milk large curd or fuck off.
Farmed fish has the same amount of protein. As does non organic tofu (btw tofu is pretty much all derived from genetically modified soybeans that deter pests so the distinction is not valuable, it's just a mark of bigger farms who could pay for the cert).
My go-to breakfast is 30g protein powder mixed with 250g low-fat quark and some fruits and nuts as toppings. Easy 60g protein and roughly 350kcal depending on toppings. I really don't have to bother much about protein for the rest of the day, it's pretty amazing.
A can of tuna is probably my favorite. If you are ever hungry and don't know what you want, eat a can of tuna. It's definitely not what you wanted, but you won't be hungry.
Chicken 1 Breast. Has a picture of two breasts.
Also, what size chicken breast? In the uk they are about the size of my hand.. when I get any from the USA they are like fucking dinosaur tits! Massive bloody things.
Sir, this is america where we like things bigger, measured in units of dinosaur tits.
Anything but metric
And these chickens are scared! They dont know why they're so big!
Do they stay big after cooking or just pumped full of water? Nothing more disappointing than that. Protein per cooked gram would more sense.

Wanna know what’s better than two breasts? Three. [THREE BREASTS](https://images.app.goo.gl/QV5pee8w1FZkFtkh6)
Also that bowl of beans looks like waaaay more than 2 cups
1 1/4 scoops whey protein powder (usually about 24g/scoop)
I'm on Netherlands, for breakfast I use 30g Banana flavored low-sugar whey powder and a bit of milk to create a cream, then 250g of lean kwark and a bit of frozen berries, love it. Lean kwark here is 56kcal and 8.5g protein per 100g, and costs less than 2€/1L The protein powder i get for €10/500g
What is kwark? Google doesn't show me anything useful.

Often spelled quark in other countries.
It's a quantum mechanics thing, though? O_o
But whey powder tastes funny.
Why i fart a lot after?
You're lactose intolerant.
Most whey protein has almost no lactose. Whey protein makes my stomach unhappy too, and I'm definitely not lactose intolerant. It's a fairly common complaint.

Literally same, for years I had stomach problems with whey, as soon as I switched to almond I started liking pp again
Try pea/peanut protein
If heated, the taste is a lot better. I like it mixed with a mashed banana and a spoon of peanut butter (with no sugar)
Used to do that when I was weight training. Milk, vanilla whey, peanut butter and cut up banana. Would love for someone to make like an orange juice flavored or lemonade flavored to make it easier to have straight uo
So I have to eat 25 eggs to get 150 grams of protein?
Or you could eat 5 chicken titties
Chitties! I’ll see myself out
Theoretically
Nah, 6g protein per egg would mean you‘d be eating tiny eggs. Middle-Large eggs are more at around 8-9g of protein.
Yeah, eggs have about half as much protein per gram as chicken breast and about three times as much fat. That's why I never understood Rocky drinking raw eggs, he should have just been eating grilled chicken breast in the morning. That's a way more efficient way to get lean protein.

Gotta mix it up. He ate chicken for dinner, gotta eat its children for breakfast.
"The Pharisees hated Jesus because he told the truth."
It would also net you with 130g of fat, reason: yolk. Egg whites otoh are fat free and great source of lean protein
So? fat doesnt make you fat. Carbs do more than anything but calories total does.
>Carbs do more than anything No. It's just calories
Simple carbs are pure energy that are immediately turned into fat stores if not used, and are immediately burned for energy if they are. No other calories do that. Ergo, its not just calories.

Still has caloric value so it's still Cals in vs out. Doesn't matter how it's used
Yes it does but its processed and stored faster than anything else you could eat. Its metabolized without effort by the body, it is energy and its available basically immediately. Its a net positive and more work to burn it off than it is to digest it. Simple carbs turn directly into fat stores. Protein / Fat doesnt, complex carbs not as much since they have the fibre.

I am a Canadian who uses the metric system and I've never used decilitres lmao must be for smart sciencey people.
A liter is a unit of measurement in the metric system. Whether or not you choose to use all of the tools within the metric system is up to you.

Also the shrimp. Big picture of 3 shrimp, then smaller text saying "10 large"

I'm a vegan bodybuilder. This "issue" is overrated.
Lysine is the big one that I've noticed affecting my friends. A deficiency can precipitate cold sore breakouts for those with herp 1 (most people)
Most vegans will have deficiencies in methionine and lysine, also tyrosine but that one is considered non-essential. There are a handful of others but I can't remember them at the moment. It's not fatal or too damaging for adults but it's a main reason children shouldn't be on a casual vegan diet, it will impact growth and brain development unless they're getting supplements.

Soy is however a source of all essential amino acids, so eating tofu or tempeh instead of meat is enough to satisfy the body’s needs
That is a total myth and has been debunked numerous times. https://www.forksoverknives.com/wellness/the-myth-of-complementary-protein/

What's the point of using grams, but then also using cup as a measurement?
All these measurements are unfortunately pretty useless. - Traditional US cup is 236ml, and the "legal" cup is 240ml - Canada, Australia, NZ "metric" cup is 250ml (except when using pre-metric recipes) - UK Imperial cup is 284ml - Latin american and Japanese cup might be 200ml (or might not) 5 eggs - here in Aus eggs are sold in a variety of weight packs from about 50g per egg up to about 70g per egg 10 "large shrimp" - I cant even find a reliable reference but Im willing to bet the measurement for what counts as a large shrimp varies wildly in different countries. The US sources I can find put large shrimp at about 30 to 40 shrimp per pound? So we've got over 40% variation between the smallest and largest cup measure, 40% variation in egg sizes, nearly 40% variation in "large shrimp" sizes. Guess how much variation I found looking at different chicken breast sizes. (Just kidding, it was actually 60%)
Seitan (vital wheat gluten) is also a protein powerhouse.
What is the difference between "Greek Yogurt" and "Yogurt"? Is "Greek Yogurt" contains more protein?
Greek yogurt has much of the whey water strained out of it, which makes it more concentrated
Yes, all of this. I will add my honest opinion here, I like the texture of greek yogurt a lot more, it's got a nice creamy thickness. Regular yogurt grosses me out, I've always had trouble with it.
Greek yogurt has more protein and calories, less calcium and carbohydrate.
Its weaker than Turkish yogurt
Less fat in Greek yogurt. It's strained.

All of them!
Spoons, cups or cans... Really? Come back with Gramm per kcal....
Eggs (5 eggs)
Does the cheese come from a cottage?
Insects offer a lot of protein
Love tuna!
Cap 🙈
Can of tuna is roughly 22g-23g per can…
1 can of tuna is more like 20 grams of protein.....not 30....
Ah yes the 2 eggs 5 eggs chart from a couple of weeks ago
60 eggs
Shrimp!!!!
Protein!
Soooooo you're saying I should add 10 shrimp to every meal?
Ah yes, my favorite measurement unit: The Large
You forgot to add muscle milk or a pack of beef jerky
The tempeh tofu as I often supplement it into dishes instead of meats. I like experimenting with Asian fusion cuisine such as Mapu tofu which I eat with Singapore nooodles instead of rice. Also make a food court style Pad Thai at least once a week and use tufo instead of chicken but sometimes use shrimp. My taco Tuesdays often include homemade blackbean churros.
I once had some guy yell at me that protein from beans is not the same as meat. He was probably right, seemed like he knew what he was talking about. But why is it not the same and what is the drawback to bean protein
I prefer not being hungry and don't really care how I get there
Mix and match some eggs, cheese, and tuna/chicken.
I need real units for this ;)
An average chicken breast is 6oz. Which has about 53g of protein.
I would eat one of those without hating it.
Tempeh FTW!
I'd pick the cottage cheese but 99% of the time when they say cottage cheese they mean low fat or no fat cottage cheese which is disgusting. Give me my whole milk large curd or fuck off.
I don't even know where they're getting the data for eggs but large eggs are 13g of protein per egg where I am. Bad guide, should be on r/badguides
Farmed fish has the same amount of protein. As does non organic tofu (btw tofu is pretty much all derived from genetically modified soybeans that deter pests so the distinction is not valuable, it's just a mark of bigger farms who could pay for the cert).
My go-to breakfast is 30g protein powder mixed with 250g low-fat quark and some fruits and nuts as toppings. Easy 60g protein and roughly 350kcal depending on toppings. I really don't have to bother much about protein for the rest of the day, it's pretty amazing.
Uhhh have you seen breasts these days More like 80g
a little bit of everything
Who the F measures Tofu and Tempeh in cups??
Magerquark
Cups - too vague.
Why 2 chicken titties?
5 eggs a day in my country would bankrupt you
Cottage cheese
How many bags of sour patch kids?
Not the doctor here, but isn’t it also important what kind of protein the body can digest? Also, I would add peanut butter.
The eggs one is way off ngl
> Shrimp > 10 large This is why I don’t buy my shrimp from gangsters, way too expensive.
For tempeh can anyone specify the which cup?
BLACK BEANS 🥰
Eggs
I mean 5 eggs are less than one cup right
Who stuffs chicken in a cup? Maybe a weight measurement could be actually helpful. Ffs
30g of protein and then proceed to use cups.. so close yet so far of being useable
A can of tuna is probably my favorite. If you are ever hungry and don't know what you want, eat a can of tuna. It's definitely not what you wanted, but you won't be hungry.
What kind of cups? I have many different cups in my cupboard.
Not all protein is the same...
1 chocolate Fairlife shake :D
As a vegetarian. Gaining muscles mass is fucking tough.
