This video on "protein sources" will change your life

Don't follow this advice unless you want to be constantly hungry. Natural animal fats are not only essential for overall well-being, but they control hunger. Eat MORE fats, eat less often.

She is lying when she says 'these sources come with more fat and more carbohydrates" Sure, the beans and yogurt have carbs, but there are 0 carbs in beef and salmon. Want to lose weight? Stop counting calories and start counting carbs. Calories from fat are readily burned by the ketones produced by the human body.

Forgive me if I am skeptical watching a 20-something explain weight loss. I want to hear from a perimenopausal woman with hypothyroid.

Terrible post. Eat carnivore. Protein with fat. Feel full and lose weight. Go lift heavy stuff.

If you think canned tuna is better than fresh salmon, you will never hit your fitness goals.

While tuna has the least calories according to this video, it also has the highest amount of heavy metals. I'd rather eat the extra calories in the beef than heavy metals, thanks!

Gaslighting. Looks like at least 400gm of beef so ~100 gm of protein. All the other estimates are also randomly off. Confidently b.s'ed her way through this.

I asked Grok to validate all the claims of this video and here its the response: One reply in the thread called the beef estimate "off," but the data shows it's consistent with raw mince as presented. The video is a helpful, evidence-based illustration—not perfect lab precision, but accurate enough for real-world use. If you're tracking macros, always check your specific product's label, as minor brand differences exist.The video's core claims are accurate and well-supported by standard nutritional data (primarily USDA FoodData Central and equivalent sources). It visually demonstrates that different protein sources delivering ~20g of protein can vary dramatically in calories (from ~90 kcal to ~380 kcal), emphasizing how leaner options (lower fat/carb content) allow you to meet protein needs with fewer calories. This aligns with evidence-based nutrition for satiety, muscle preservation, and fat loss during calorie +1The on-screen calorie figures are approximations based on typical prepared/raw values for the exact foods shown (e.g., cooked chicken breast, raw 18% fat beef mince, canned tuna in water, raw salmon fillet, firm tofu, drained canned mixed beans, nonfat high-protein/Greek-style yogurt, and sweetened vanilla yogurt). Minor variances (usually within 10-20%) are normal due to factors like exact brand, cooking method (raw vs. cooked), fat trimming, or added ingredients. No claims are fabricated or is a breakdown of each claim, with verified calculations (protein density × weight needed for exactly 20g protein → expected calories): Chicken breast: Video claims 123 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Cooked, skinless chicken breast is typically ~31g protein and ~151–165 kcal per 100g. For 20g protein, this is ~65g of chicken → **100–107 kcal**. Video is slightly higher (common with grilled/seared versions or minor added fat). Close match; lean and low-cal as 18% fat beef mince (ground beef): Video claims 278 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Raw 80/20 (close to 18% fat) is ~254 kcal and ~17g protein per 100g. For 20g protein, this is ~118g → **295–300 kcal**. Cooked versions are lower (~246–270 kcal/100g, ~24–26g protein). Video aligns well with raw values (as shown on the plate). Higher-cal due to fat content— Canned tuna (in water, drained; likely light tuna): Video claims 90 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Light tuna in water is 86 kcal and ~19g protein per 100g. For 20g protein, this is ~105g → **90 kcal**. Exact match. Excellent low-cal Salmon (fillet): Video claims 260 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Raw farmed Atlantic salmon is 183–208 kcal and ~20g protein per 100g. For 20g protein, this is ~100g → **200 kcal** (wild or cooked is often lower at ~140–182 kcal). Video is on the higher end (possibly fattier cut or including skin). Directionally correct—salmon is higher-cal than lean fish due to healthy Tofu (firm): Video claims 181 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Firm tofu is 145 kcal and ~15.8g protein per 100g. For 20g protein, this is ~127g → **184 kcal**. Near-exact match. Solid plant-based Mixed beans (canned, drained): Video claims 317 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Canned kidney/mixed beans (drained) are 82–84 kcal and ~5.2g protein per 100g. For 20g protein, this is ~380–385g → **320–321 kcal**. Exact match. Higher-cal due to carbs/fiber—volume is large, as High-protein yogurt (nonfat/Greek-style): Video claims 114 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Nonfat Greek yogurt is 59 kcal and ~10.2g protein per 100g. For 20g protein, this is ~196g → **116 kcal**. Near-exact match. Very Normal vanilla yogurt: Video claims 379 kcal for 20g protein. Verified: Lowfat/sweetened vanilla yogurt is 85 kcal and ~4.9g protein per 100g (higher sugar versions push closer to 90+ kcal). For 20g protein, this is ~400g+ → **340–400+ kcal**. Video fits typical sweetened varieties. Much higher-cal due to added sugars/carbs.foods.fatsecret.comSummary of accuracy: All figures are reasonable and directionally correct (lean sources = 90–123 kcal; higher-fat/carb sources = 260–379 kcal). The visual portions align with real-world amounts that deliver ~20g protein. Small differences are not deceptive—they reflect real variability in food databases and preparation.Broader claims hold up scientifically:Higher protein intake aids fat loss, satiety, and muscle retention (well-established in meta-analyses). Prioritizing leaner protein sources reduces overall calories without sacrificing protein goals, which supports the video's practical advice for better

Just don’t tell people to eat “20g protein from…” Show them what various sources look like and the number accordingly. 30g protein…. 100g cooked chicken, 125g tuna etc

They're higher calorie because the fat content,(beans are carbs), protein needs fat to be utilized or you can risk protein poisoning. Macros i.e. protein, fat and carbohydrates, the only one that can be removed without negative health impacts is carbs.

You only get fat from insulin and the only thing that influences that are carbs it has nothing to do with calories 🙈

All lean protein with no or minimal animal fat starves the brain. Calorie intake matters for sure but all lean protein is a massive mistake unless you like living in a fog

In order for beans to become a full protein you have to add it with something so… eating beans by itself is NOT a full protein unless you add it with rice or something

Beef and salmon have the most nutrients also. Don’t let the diet fads tell you to not eat fats. Fats don’t make you fat. Keeps your hormones in check.

Natural fat is NOT the problem. Th problem is UPF 90% of the population consume. Just look how many low fat products contain sugar, artificial sweeteners and other nasty bulking agents. Pulses, fruit and veg are your friends.

wrong. the plant protein does NOT have a full amino acid profile, thus it's mostly useless.

is that some kind of low-protein tuna? because in the states a can of tuna is 40g. europe mogged again.

If you're gonna spend this much time talking and thinking about nutrition then surely you can find beef mince that isn't EIGHTEEN PERCENT. Like yeah no shit it's so high calorie you bought the version filled with fat and lined it up against a lean cut of chicken.

Get the carbs down in your diet. Once you are used to lower carbs, skip one meal a day one to two days per week with no snacking. Still having trouble losing weight? Once you know you can skip one meal, try skipping two meals in a row once a week. Eat good protein and fats when you eat again.

Anyone who talks about Calories is full of shit! A fictitious unit of Energy, which takes no account of The effect of Hormones. 🙄

The problem is eating too much, too often. We only need to eat once, maybe two small meals a day. The body doesn't need 3-4 meals a day + snacks.The body should be in a fasting state majority of the time each day, week. Our prehistoric ancestors never ate as much as we do today.

I think she meant to say proteins with higher fat. Beans & vanilla yogurt does have carbs but not the salmon & beef. True comparison is leaner vs fattier proteins. I’m a calorie counter. I can’t believe I was eating so much in calories daily 😭😭

The beef is the best choice as it will make you feel more full for longer and you will inherently eat less.

It isn't the protein or fat that you consume, it is the carbohydrates that your body turns into fat that causes weight gain. Eliminate carbs to lose weight.

100 years ago there was no obesity and no protein shit in the media. Now there is more than 40% obesity and continously studies about lo fat, trans fat, saturated fats, carbohydrates, proteins, fibers and more. Maybe just eat meat, fish and vegetables instead of ultra-processed?

@TexasAustyn What does 20 grams of protein look like from my GF? 🤣 I am a carnivor.

I think you also need to look at the other things you get from what you’re eating, not protein in isolation. Nutrient density is important. The benefits of eating oily fish like salmon make those extra calories worth it.

What's the name of the author of this video- I'd like to follow her 🙂

There are no carbs in 112g of beef mince with 19g of protein. No sugar either. Check your stats.

Nope! I lost 125 lbs, and I never counted a single calorie.

All of that is very true but the mixed beans have one massive benefit over all the other options, the beans have a lot more fibre. With the rates of colorectal cancer in younger people going up we need to be talking more about fibre.

Now do the fats needed from each dish, which will give it more balance

Give me all of them except tofu.

When you’re young you think you know everything. Confidence is what you have before learning the truth.

Some of the worst advice ever. lol
