hi guys in this video we’re going to

talk about how much protein is too much

protein at a ketogenic diet okay now

it’s kind of a difficult question

because you have so many variables you

have the person’s age for example if

they’re 21 or 18 they’re going to need

more protein than someone like me that’s

30 years old right and then you have

digestion the ability to digest the

protein the acid in the stomach if they

don’t have enough acid then they’re not

going to listen up not going to be a

good situation or let’s say they’re

under massive stress they’re going to

eat a little bit more protein or if

their metabolism is low if they’re

hypothyroidism or some other issue well

then they can’t consume that much

protein because it’s going to overload

the liver and then it’s rector sizing

they need a little bit more okay so I

have a rule of thumb a formula you can

use okay and this is kind of like the

top in like you don’t want to go more

than this because too much protein will

convert to insulin and stop your ketosis

too much insulin come too much protein

can also mess up your liver and the

kidneys it because it’s just it’s just

too much for its process so here it is

do not consume greater than 0.8 grams

times your body weight okay let’s so I’m

6 foot 2 away 195 pounds right if we

take that times 0.08 that equals 156

grams per day if we divided by 3 like 3

meals that comes out to 52 grams of

protein per meal I don’t want to exceed

that ok so what does it look like well

if you ate 8 ounces of chicken that’s 62

grams so it’s a little bit more 8 ounces

of steak is 52 grams so that would equal

exactly what I calculated per meal and

then 8 ounces of fish is 45 grams and I

do notice that I can actually eat a

little bit more fish and not feel as

bloated so this is something that I

probably would not want to exceed

because for example my body runs really

good at about 5 ounces of protein so I’m

going to cut this back a little bit

maybe I’ll do 6 ounces of fish probably

5 ounces of chicken or 5 ounces of steak

I do really good on that so the best way

is to

you know you can use the formula but

just see how you feel and see how you do

let’s see if here is your energy hi

sometimes if you’re your diet is too low

in protein you’re going to be fatigued

so you won’t want to monitor at how you

feel to get that sweet spot but everyone

is different all right
