hey guys I recently had a question from

several people that wanted to know how

many grams of protein do I need to

consume in my diet if I’m on a ketogenic

and in a manifesting program okay

apparently when I told them the ounces

that wasn’t good enough they want to

know in grams so before I get into that

let me just kind of explain something if

there’s glucose or sugar in the diet the

body will always go for that first and

that’s why we want to keep the carbs low

between 20 and 50 grams or less okay so

if we keep the carbs low then the body

will then burn muscle protein unless

you’re eating enough protein okay so we

want to have a moderate amount of

protein because if we don’t have enough

protein our body will start using your

own muscle even before the fat so we

need certain amounts of protein so I’m

telling people you need between three

and six ounces now what does it come out

to well at the very minimum you need

point three six grams 2.7 grams per your

body weight in pounds now I’m not giving

you the kilograms you can do the

conversions talking about pounds okay so

I’m 180 pounds okay so it multiply 0.33

and I get roughly about 65 it might be

sixty four point eight or something like

that okay so that’s how many grams of

protein I need for the whole day okay

minimally so 0.7 times 180 equals 126

grams of protein for the whole day okay

now that’s if I’m doing like three meals

so if I divide this by three each meal

would be on the low end it’d be about 21

grams per meal of protein if I’m going

in the high end let’s see I’m an athlete

I’m younger a lot of physical activity

I’ll need a little more protein I’m

stressed I need more protein so we

divide this by three it comes out to 42

grams anything more than this though is

going to be a problem on the liver and

kidney it can actually strain the

kidneys in the liver and it could create

kidney stones and it can also create

more fat on your body because it’s gonna

convert to sugar so we need some but we

don’t need too much so this is the range

right here if you wanted to know now

when calculating this there’s a lot of

confusion because people go online and

they look up let’s say you’re gonna look

up beef right the nutritional facts for

beef four ounces is 113 grams so right

there you’re gonna go back to here it’s

gonna be like wait a second 113 grams

for 4 ounces that doesn’t make sense but

realize when you look this up you’re not

going to use total grams for the beef

because that beef is made up of

different things we want the protein

grams not the total grams so for beef

for 4 ounces we have about 26 grams we

have about 8 grams of fat and the rest

water like 80 grams of water will make

up the total of 113 and collagen and

some other things okay so we’re really

going to only use the protein so that’s

what that’s what we’re talking about and

if you’re looking at fish chicken lamb

eggs they’re all gonna vary in the

amount of protein per unit of volume

okay or weight so don’t worry I’ll have

a calculator I’m almost done with this

macro calculator for you so you can go

in there and punch new numbers and it

does all the calculations for you you

know then you don’t have to worry about

anything so I’m working on that in fact

I was working then all day today from

five o’clock in the morning until I’m

here which is about five o’clock okay so

let’s say we get our protein in

correctly and we’re doing great on that

and then you do in a minute fasting so

now you’re going to go to two meals and

then one meal well you’re not going to

need the quantity quantity of protein is

going to go down down down because your

body’s going to recycle protein and

you’re going to not need the quantity of

protein because the body is stimulating

growth hormone that’s one thing and

that’s going to cause a protection of

your muscle protein from

being broken down all right so now if

you handle this you’re not going to lose

any muscle so the body will then have no

choice but to burn its fat reserve okay

and when it burns the fat you can have

ketones now in the beginning you’re

gonna have to consume more fat as if

you’re insulin resistant they’re also

going to be really really hungry it’s

going to be really hard to go from one

meal to the next however when you start

becoming adapted the need for fat will

go down because the goal is to get your

bodies to start eating your own stored

fat not necessarily just to rely on the

dietary fat okay so in this case maybe

in the beginning you’re adding keto

bombs and you’re adding extra fat and

this and that bulletproof coffee but

then as you get into it maybe you won’t

need that maybe you could just get the

fat from the protein that you consume I

just found for example I bought from us

wellness meets online I found hamburger

that is fifty five percent that’s forty

five percent fat incredible I’ve never

seen anything like it so I ordered a

bunch of it and so that’s what I’m going

to consume tonight so you would need to

add any more fat that’s enough fat of

course a lot of it will be you know

baked off when I cook it but the point

is that if you just focus on the fat in

the whole food you probably won’t need

to add very much unless you’re trying to

maintain your weight in which case you

want to add more fat so that way your

body will maintain and maybe you can

gain a little bit of weight okay all
