protein protein protein protein everybody's talking about protein oh you
go to the gym you should have some protein well enough let's talk about it
what is it protein is a molecule found in food that
can be broken down into something called amino acids in total there are 20 amino
acids that your body needs off those 20 your body can make 11 but there are
another nine called essential amino acids that your body can create and you
have to get them through food whenever you eat your body breaks down the
protein in that food in order to get the amino acids out of it that in need okay
so why is this important protein is the building blocks off the body think of it
like bricks in a house you get a bunch of bricks you stack them up you put them
together in the right way and all of a sudden you end up with a house a nice
house in the good part of town all of your organs your hair your skin your
muscles your nails are built using proteins a lot of you hormones also use
proteins you need protein in order for your blood immune system and digestive
systems to work correctly it's safe to say that without protein with all be in
a pretty bad spot it helps build and repair muscle helps reduce hunger pains
and also can charge up your fat-burning metabolism protein is therefore an
essential part of our diet it's vital for our development and without it our
body just wouldn't work properly okay so now that you have an idea of what
protein is and what it does where do you get it well the grocery store is a good
place to start but specifically which foods do we get it from well don't ask
anybody who knows anything about anything and they're going to tell you
that the best sources come from the most natural sources salmon tuna B chicken
cheese eggs beans nuts tofu edamame canola quinoa
vanilla I don't fucking know the point is the more processed your food is the
quicker you're going to thread in your fitness game so what does this mean for
you mr. gym goer man or lady let's not discriminate yo can I just say I love
the gym girls I just spend all my time on Instagram
just browsing through oh she's nice look at that one
I'm still scrolling I DoubleTap that if you know what I'm saying if you're
someone that goes to the gym you've had proteins shoved in your face a billion
times no make that a billion billion times in fact you've had protein shoved
in your face of Google times I'm not talking about the website either Larry
Page protein is everywhere supplements bars yogurts cookies brownies candy
cakes breakfast cereals breakfast cereals are you kidding me and even
though I've just spent the best part of this video explaining why having protein
is good I'm going to explain why having it in so many products is actually a bad
thing a balanced diet typically comprises of three things proteins
carbohydrates and fats every person needs to get a good amount of each not
too much not too little what determines how much you should be getting you ask
basically it comes down to your weight and your activity level
think of it right if you're a big dude who works out a lot and lifts a lot of
weight you're going to need a lot more fuel in your tank than say a little kid
who plays video games all day because you do more you need more but there are
limits that still exist a brown bear can eat as much as 90 pounds of food a day
so you might be working out a lot and you may need more food than most people
but you don't need 90 pounds worth of food that's too much
see limits a balanced diet is recognizing those limits and staying
within the parameters of it again not too little not too much so what's this
got to do with protein well everything having too little protein is bad for you
but also having too much can bring its own problems I know fitness is really
popular now and a lot of people are doing it which is really good and all
but let's just take a sec to remember that it wasn't always like this
I started going to the gym in 2003 and back then going to the gym wasn't a
popular thing to do in fact whenever I drink my protein shake people thought it
was gross and even made fun of me don't worry I'm okay with it with the
explosion of social media more and more people started getting
into it and suddenly having protein became a normal thing to do naturally
companies started figuring out ways to compete in the market by adding protein
to their already existing products on top of that yes every supplement from
the end of the Sun providing products with even more protein protein cookies
protein brownies baking pancakes protein muffins health they even have protein
candy I'm not saying that these are necessarily bad products nor am I saying
that companies trying to get a slice of the fitness market is a bad thing what I
am saying is that you need to make smart decisions that support your health and
fitness goals and consider the necessity of having a balanced diet with the
increase of consumers in the fitness industry a lot of companies have flooded
the markets with products to sell to you the way that they do that is they use
the protein content to draw you in getting your protein from a natural
source is always a good choice if you went to bodybuilding coach threw a bunch
of money at him and told him hey I want to lose some fat because I want to
compete in the bodybuilding show in 12 weeks time I sincerely doubt he'd
include cookies and chocolates in your diet program I mean that's a reasonable
assumption to make right what you probably find is that you would have a
specific amount of food to eat typically you'd weigh your food on little food
skills the reason why this is done is because we can figure out the protein
carb and fat values of foods by weighing it because you're aiming to get certain
amounts of proteins carbs and fat it's important to keep track of them not too
little not too much balance so roughly how much protein is enough
what's too much what's too little here's a very simple way to figure it out
figure out how much you weight in pounds and then have one gram of protein for
every pound so if you weigh 150 pounds then have 150 grams of protein 200
pounds is 200 grams of protein 100 pounds is 100 grams of protein that's
really about it adjust it if you need to but that should
give you a good idea of where you should be
hey thanks for listening to me ramble on about protein for friggin seven minutes
I'm gonna try and put you off any products or make you angry because that
wasn't my intention I just want you to be aware that too
much protein can be as bad as too little too much protein can cause dehydration
extra strain on your kidneys and not to mention the old protein parts I just
don't want anybody falling into the trap of thinking just because something has
protein in it it's automatically okay I hope you learned something and I hope it
makes you think a little more critically about protein and hey if you like the
video you can click that subscribe button right there and that will let you
know when new videos are coming out hmm and hey I'm also on Instagram which I
posted pretty regularly you should check me out if you haven't followed me and if
you have followed me well you can follow me some more I don't know and if you
like working out so much that you've got to watch a whole video about it share
this with a friend it helps me and it helps the channel and that would be good
and now I'm just going to stare at you for a couple of seconds
