hi guys I’m back in this video we’re

gonna answer the question what has more

nutrients carbohydrates proteins or fats

now I’m not going to evaluate every

single type of protein carbohydrate and

fat I’m just going to basically take

three and compare them but it’s not as

accurate because I’m not going to go

after fruits and not going to go after

grains I’m not going to talk about beans

we’re just gonna evaluate grass-fed beef

three ounces and one cup of chopped kale

and one teaspoon of coconut oil is our

fat let’s just kind of evaluate this to

look at the differences normally we need

certain required nutrients we need

vitamins there’s two types there’s fat

soluble like vitamin A D and K and then

we have water soluble which is the B

vitamins vitamin C and then we also have

minerals we have minerals that you need

more of like potassium and calcium and

then you also have minerals that you

don’t need very much of trace minerals

okay so then we have amino acids which

would come from plant and it can come

from animal alright then we have

essential fatty acids so we need certain

fats that would be the omega-3 fatty

acid do you need that for your cellular

membranes your brain your hormones

alright so first of all if we look at

beef vitamin A it has zero vitamin A

because vitamin A is a fat soluble and

that’s usually in cod liver oil it’s in

certain organ meats it’s in butter now

if we take a look at kale it has 10,000

IU’s but this is a pre vitamin re it has

to be converted into the active form

which is retinol so you may convert

maybe 3% of that okay so it still has a

vitamin name but it also has the

phytonutrients that help the vision in

the eye and the brain so this is still

going to help you a lot

alright coconut oil has zero vitamin A

even the virgin coconut oil and then we

have vitamin C zero beef but we have a

good amount of vitamin C for kale which

is 80 milligrams so you really only need

70 milligrams a day so it’s actually

more than what you need there’s no

vitamin C in coconut oil a little bit

about a mini and beef zero and kale zero

and coke

oil then we have vitamin K we have 0.9

micrograms versus 547 micrograms of

vitamin K so if someone’s on coumadin

which is blocking vitamin K they’re

gonna have to avoid kale because it’s

loaded with vitamin K and we have a tiny

bit of vitamin K in coconut oil just a

tiny bit so then we have vitamin b1 we

got zero just a very small amount in

kale and nothing in coconut oil b2 time

trace amounts b3 have a little bit more

3.9 milligrams versus point seven for

kale so the B vitamins both of them

that’s why you want to get your B

vitamins from nutritional yeast b6

there’s a tiny bit tiny bit in kale zero

with coconut oil

then we get to folate which is a really

good prenatal vitamin and also if a

woman is breastfeeding to in a

developing child okay so we have four

point one micrograms versus 19

micrograms so kale has large amounts of

folate zero coconut oil then we get to

b12 there’s good amounts of b12 and beef

but there’s zero and kale zero in

coconut oil choline which is the type of

B vitamin that’s good for a fatty liver

happens to be very very high the 60

milligrams in only three ounces of beef

zero and kale zero and coconut and so

people are like oh don’t eat beef

because you’re it’s going to give you a

fatty liver you’re gonna get fat well

not not if it has choline so we have

calcium with 10 milligrams 90 milligrams

of chaos is a good source of calcium

zero coconut oil iron two point four

milligrams one point one milligrams zero

but here’s the thing the type of iron

and beef is much more absorbable than

the type and kale alright so that would

be a little difference there and then we

have magnesium we got fifteen point nine

twenty two point eight so there’s a good

amount of magnesium in kale then we got

zinc three point nine versus point three

so this is low two with zinc it’s good

for the immune system and we get protein

just actual amino acids sixteen point

two grams versus point three grams so

kale is not a lot of protein in

comparison

with beef alright so then we have

omega-3 fatty acids specifically we’re

talking about grass-fed NAT grain-fed

that’s 74 milligrams but look at kale

kale has a hundred and twenty-nine

milligrams so it’s loaded with omega-3

fatty acids so then we have potassium

now if we check this out it’s like 270

milligrams for just in 3 ounces of beef

of potassium versus 299 milligrams in 1

cup of kale so if you’re having several

cups of kale you’re getting a lot of

potassium so then we have selenium which

by the way helps you detoxify heavy

metals including mercury and look at

beef is loaded 12 versus 0.6 versus 0 so

as you can see you really need a variety

of foods to get all of your nutrients

and one last thing about trace minerals

I recommend seek help to get your trace

minerals it’s very difficult to get

trace minerals and an average diet

nowadays so thank you so much for
