Definitely the 1 to 10 ratio. All too often I'm on the road and having to pick a protein bar without a lot of sugar and some fiber is good and then adequate protein. I usually drink a bottled protein shake when I'm traveling. It's just easier. I'll be using the tip next time. Thank you
Adding the zero after seeing the protein amount per serving is pretty good. I'm tired of seeing "high protein" snacks that have 350 calories and like 12g protein in them.
Just found your channel - new sub! Currently 57, I’ve loved working out. However, I’ve also loved eating. Last routine labs in March showed elevated A1C and while my Dr. said just drink more water, it scared the **** out of me. Since then I’ve been focused on high protein and low carbs/fat, I’ve lost 15lbs so far and weigh less than what’s on my drivers license ;). Feeling the great & lifting the same amount. Excited to binge watch your channel and learn more!
I struggle to get 100+ grams of protein into my daily meal(s) while still enabling me to stay in a calorie deficit . I like that you endorse low fat dairy. I feel like I can sustainably eat it longterm because that's what I prefer taste & texture wise & it's got fewer calories. I get healthy fats through other avenues like walnuts, pistachio's, avocados, wild caught salmon, extra virgin olive oil & eggs. Thanks for making this video.
Making sure my carbs are serving sizes and my meats are on the leaner side. Like chicken, fish, shrimp...I eat at 1450 daily and still have room for some high protein sweet options. (Eating 3 meals a day, sometimes having a snack)
@@Victoria-uq8mf Coincidentally, I recently bought a pair of magnified glasses so I can read the small print on packaging so I no longer exceed recommended serving sizes.Which with some carb rich foods it's so easy to do. Although I'm not certain I'm hitting at or below the impressive calorie target of 1450 that you are, it's definitely making a difference because I've lost another 10 lbs (5kgs) this month & I've been trimming any visible fat from my protein sources as well (My cat thinks she's in paradise) I'll endeavour to eat chicken, shrimp & fish too though because I love all them. Thank-you
@carpathianken you're welcome. I'm a short person, that's part of the reason for the low calorie number. I'm glad you're able to see better with the magnifying glass. Sounds like you're on the right track!
New to your channel and have been binging on videos about increasing protein for weight loss. I love how clear and concise you are and that you remind us and model for us, that we can adjust for what works for us.
❤ I love your ratio calculation tool! Low fat whole plant foodie here. I love using TVP as my main protein source. When prepared properly, it has a very neutral flavor that absorbs any other flavor you add to it. I often eat it straight up like I would oatmeal, with cinnamon, dates, and vanilla. My current daily range is 100 - 140 gm. It also makes the perfect "meat ground" substitute in chili, spaghetti, etc. SO GOOD! Thank you for the gift of your videos.
Do you find that you have to rely a lot on mock meats and TVP etc to meet your protein goals? I am fortunate that my husband is able to make the mock meats. We have a ton of them in the house but I just don't like relying on things that are not coming from a whole food source. Could you please tell me your go-to's for everyday eating? It's hard for me since I'm cooking for a family with kids as well!
I just found your channel. I have to commend you on a few things: your thumbnails are excellent. Your audio is perfect! Your words come fast but that’s because you know your stuff! Thank you for having such a professional channel!
Oh! How have I’ve been pausing this vid and jotting down notes. Thank you and thank you again for the opportunity to get the samples of LMNT. I just purchased mines. There packages are kinda pricey but I Love, Love the flavors as well as the taste. I always add fresh squeezed lemon juice to each one and then off to my workouts. This vid has added great helpful hints into my regimen. Keep them coming.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💞
Great tips to hit protein goals. I’ve lost about 50 pounds eating in calories deficit focused on protein. It’s not always easy and I fall off sometimes. I’m going to check out those pancakes !
Michelle, I just found your videos and love them! I have tried everything - and fail! I was always so confused about the high protein/calorie deficit way of life until i watched your valuable videos that really make understanding this way of life- so easy! Thank you and please keep them coming ! I am over 60 and need to loose 50 pounds and will try this- thank you so much! BTW your arms look amazing! If you have any tips for people over 60 people to get their arms looking good i would love to see that - thank you!
Thanks for the kind words :) I actually made an entire video talking about achieving strong and lean arms (it's a common question lol) I will link it here for you: ruclips.net/video/cTLne3bhM-8/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Good tip on the protein (adding a zero). Not heard that before and I have heard so much about protein, etc. Great tip for those that are trying to get more. I get plenty but will share this with others
Thank you for your great information. You are knowledgeable and make your suggestions easy to incorporate. I appreciate the additional videos you both reference verbally and list below on your site. We are all learning together, and I look forward to reading more health related suggestions and trying out the recipes you include. God's blessings!
Excellent video!!! I absolutely resonated with it ❤ Thank you. I have a question though… I use the collagen from 1st Phorm and it has 15 g of protein. Do you count that in your daily macro goal? I understand that it is only missing one amino acid and so some say to count it in, but I have also heard other people say not to count it. What are your thoughts on that?
Hi Michelle, new to your channel. Some really interesting content to help me. I have x2 teenagers trying to bulk to increase muscle and I’m trying to lose weight and increase my protein. Really liked the planning and calculating tips. Will have a look at your recipe vids, too., so I can get the right meal balance between me and my lads. Thanks!😊
That is exactly what I needed to watch. I don't have a favourite protein powder, as I don't have found one that is lactose-free. I've tried vegan options which were disgusting to drink. I don't use a scale but I feel my weight dropping, my clothes getting wider, my belly flatter. Thanks to your spot-on explanations on your channel. I track my meals in my journal, with calories and protein amounts. I have an active job with strength training three times a week. What I don't see is a beginning of muscle definition, do you have any advice? Your videos are much appreciated, thank you.
You are very welcome! sounds like you are crushing it and muscle definition takes time, just keep going!! Make sure you are challenging yourself with some form of progressive overload in each of your strength training sessions and keep going!!
Thanks for this video Michelle. It couldn’t have come at a better time. I experienced this problem yesterday. I was low on my protein by the end of the day and didn’t want to play catch up! Thankfully it doesn’t happen often. Question: have you heard of any studies showing that the sodium in electrolytes raising someone’s blood pressure?
Glad it was helpful and perfect timing!! Remember not the end of the world if it's once and a while. :) As for electrolytes and blood pressure, I would suggest anyone with high blood pressure check with their doctor first before taking them :)
I’m a 42 y/o female and petite- 5’1 and approx 115, weight training 4-5x a week and building muscle but not losing fat… any tips for a deficit for petites? I can only assume if I’m hitting 100+ G protein a day that I’m eating too many calories still. But, because I’m small, my calories are already minimal. Any advice on how to lose that fat would be helpful 🙏🏻
I have a whole video discussing calorie deficit and macros for petite women on my channel already - here is the link: ruclips.net/video/mwmXzfRp08g/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@@kims1941I agree with you. However, I’m looking to be in the best shape I can- and I would like to lose the subcutaneous fat that I do have and build muscle instead. I’m not looking to lose weight per se- just change my body composition :)
@@kims1941i couldn’t care less about the total number on the scale . What I do care about is losing the fat and building /maintaining muscle so that I look and feel fit . I’m 5 feet at 108 pounds but you can tell I have flabby thighs , butt and a gut that makes me look three months pregnant .
@@MichelleRoots yes, I just wanted to put it out there because I didn’t know myself that eating meals this way wasn’t ideal for this problem until recently. I didn’t mean to imply that you didn’t know this already, I’m sure you did.
Yes I completely agree that food should be a pleasure. Did you watch the tip in the video about deciding how many times a day you want to eat and how to split your protein over those meals? You can for sure still enjoy yummy meals with just prioritizing protein :)
Hi Michelle, one question if so 5g protein in a snack bar. As per your for formula if we put 5x10= 50. So; if the food has less than 50 calories, then it should be considered as good… a little confused
That's correct :) But again remember - this is all in moderation etc. If a snack bar is only 50 calories it's not end of the world, I was more so gearing towards the bars that are over 300 calories but only proving 10-15g of protein as that takes up a lot of your daily calories for minimal protein.
Do you have any advice for whole food plant-based vegans because in order to make meet my protein goals, I'm having to eat in a very large amount of carbohydrates because I don't eat eggs or dairy and I don't eat any animal products and I don't eat fish. I'm going through menopause and I'm trying to lose about 20 lb and it's very frustrating. I am using weights as well as cardio to increase my activity, and I'm not afraid of carbohydrates as long as they're coming from a good source. But I'm also seeing that I have to increase my calorie and take quite a bit to meet the protein goals. There's only so much tofu a girl can eat and it gets expensive! I don't want to have to turn to animal products to meet my protein goals. I do use a vegan protein powder that I use about once a day but I don't want to rely strictly on protein powders either. I want to get my nutrition from whole foods.
I actually linked a video in the description of this video with my top high protein vegetables and vegan protein sources if you want to check it out? Might be helpful :)
I'm not vegan but while logging my intake I find that I get a protein boost when I snack on dry roasted edamame. Just thought I'd mention in case you haven't tried it! 🩷
I eat enough protein 1 lb per my body weight. My issue not sure how much complex carbs and I have a real hard time managing my control of eat sugar cookies candy etc when I am at parties
1. remember a few cookies at a party once and a while is A-OK :) 80/20 rule. As for complex carbs, if you are tracking protein and hitting your target while staying in your calorie deficit it is really hard to overeat on carbs as you don't have enough calories left to eat "too many" carbs :). Sounds like you are doing great!!
I am 60 years old and I have never worked out before. I am slim, and I have been going to the gym 3 X a week with a bit of cardio and more on resistance machines. It’s been a month now and I don’t see any results, the scale has gone up by 5 pounds
I saw a food item that said high protein and it was less than 20 grams......which is barely average. I eat 40 to 60 grams per meal. It's annoying seeing the marketing gimmicks that sell protein foods, just eat chicken and fish. Snack on yogurt and have one protein shake a day. The best phrase I've heard about supplements is this, "You can't outrun bad health habits with supplements."
@elainecoyle2704 chicken, lots of boring chicken and yogurt with the highest protein blend I can find. I try to limit shakes to no more than two servings a day. Oh and eggs. I eat three main meals and two snacks, snacks are usually yogurt, a protein shake or two packs of tuna.
@@MichelleRoots we need healthy full fat foods in our diet as it is more nutrient dense and also nourishes the brain as the brain is mostly made up of fat! Ditch the low fat it’s old school ideas that it’s healthier and no it’s not you are depriving your body of what it needs and recognizes 😀
@@joanshealy1662 LOL I completely agree with you, but the point of this video is to teach people ideas to increase protein while staying in their calorie deficit, not to discuss the benefits of good fats. If you watch any other videos on my channel you would learn that I am all about eating all foods for an overall healthy balanced lifestyle. Good fats are very important but you can also get good fats in avocado, nuts, seeds etc... you don't HAVE to get your good fats from your yogurt. If someone is already eating healthy fats in the rest of their day then choosing fat free or low fat greek yogurt is completely fine. Again we are all open to our own opinions and if you choose then eat full fat yogurt that's A-OK :) I do to sometimes depending on what the rest of my day looks like. My tip was just a tip to help people not a rule to say NEVER eat full fat yogurt :)
@@MichelleRoots I agree with you on watching your calorie deficit to lose weight I prefer full fat plain yogurt I can make it sweet or savory and I eat avocados as well I get 30 grams of protein in three meals a day sometimes more and it’s good for my body weight I eat full fat healthy fats as my choice I don’t count calories I believe in nutrient dense meals that nourish my body and leave me satisfied and I maintain my weight. We just need to learn healthy relationships with food balance and moderation and eat food of all colors try new foods too for a healthier lifestyle
No you don’t have to be in a calorie deficit. This completely depends on your body composition and goals. You can eat at maintenance or more to build muscle. Calorie deficit is for those looking to lose body fat.
Oh geez eating between 4 or 5 times a day I cannot imagine, people's insulin going up aaaalll the time. And eating like late is not convenient either. I'm hearing this video and I already heard different misleading information.
I don't believe I said it was mandatory? I eat 4-5 times a day and my insulin is completely fine lol. I also eat right before bed sometimes when I work late and I'm completely fine. If it doesn't work for you or you don't want to that's fine, but remember every body is different. :)
Grammar feedback: It's FEWER calories. Not less. Less is for whole things, fewer is for parts. As in, I'm eating LESS food by having FEWER slices of pizza
LOL I don't believe I said at the beginning of the video I was an english major but of course thank you for pointing this out - I hope you feel great now :)

Should protein powder only be eaten after a workout? Or Can I just add it to my day to increase protein to hit my goals?
Yes you can add it to your day anytime to increase daily protein intake :)
This depends also on if you have diabetes or other metabolic disorders, if so you definitely should not eat 4 times a day.
This is general advice of course if people have medical conditions they should get advice from their doctor not the internet :)

As for complex carbs, if you are tracking protein and hitting your target while staying in your calorie deficit it is really hard to overeat on carbs as you don't have enough calories left to eat "too many" carbs :). Sounds like you are doing great!!
Thank you. I am down 6% body fat since March. I enjoy your videos.
@@cathypettinella1765 Amazing!!!!
4:52 macro roulette!! It’s a thing!!😅
I’m intermittent fasting OMAD
I am 60 years old and I have never worked out before. I am slim, and I have been going to the gym 3 X a week with a bit of cardio and more on resistance machines. It’s been a month now and I don’t see any results, the scale has gone up by 5 pounds
Speak with the trainers at your gym.
salmon, sardines, chicken livers
👌🏼
Thank you
You're welcome
I saw a food item that said high protein and it was less than 20 grams......which is barely average. I eat 40 to 60 grams per meal. It's annoying seeing the marketing gimmicks that sell protein foods, just eat chicken and fish. Snack on yogurt and have one protein shake a day. The best phrase I've heard about supplements is this, "You can't outrun bad health habits with supplements."
How do you get that much protein in? What do you eat
@elainecoyle2704 chicken, lots of boring chicken and yogurt with the highest protein blend I can find. I try to limit shakes to no more than two servings a day. Oh and eggs. I eat three main meals and two snacks, snacks are usually yogurt, a protein shake or two packs of tuna.
Low fat yogurt has more sugar than regular fat. I’m trying to stay away from sugar.
Depending on which brand you buy
I'm so confused because I looked at the flourish pancakes but the proteins 23 but the calories are 250
250 calories for breakfast is not a lot at all, especially when you are getting 23g of protein :)

What if I go over my protein goal? Is that bad? How much can I go over it that happens?
Not bad at all :) If you are staying in your calorie goal, I feel it's hard to eat "too much" protein.
The links are not working
I just checked and they all work for me, which link were you wanting to click on?
Motivation specialist 🤣
😂😂🤷🏻♀️
How can get pure protein, no fat, no carbs, low fat chicken?
I don’t agree with you on low fat 😮
cool :) You are welcome to your own opinion 👌
@@MichelleRoots we need healthy full fat foods in our diet as it is more nutrient dense and also nourishes the brain as the brain is mostly made up of fat! Ditch the low fat it’s old school ideas that it’s healthier and no it’s not you are depriving your body of what it needs and recognizes 😀
@@joanshealy1662 LOL I completely agree with you, but the point of this video is to teach people ideas to increase protein while staying in their calorie deficit, not to discuss the benefits of good fats. If you watch any other videos on my channel you would learn that I am all about eating all foods for an overall healthy balanced lifestyle. Good fats are very important but you can also get good fats in avocado, nuts, seeds etc... you don't HAVE to get your good fats from your yogurt. If someone is already eating healthy fats in the rest of their day then choosing fat free or low fat greek yogurt is completely fine. Again we are all open to our own opinions and if you choose then eat full fat yogurt that's A-OK :) I do to sometimes depending on what the rest of my day looks like. My tip was just a tip to help people not a rule to say NEVER eat full fat yogurt :)
@@MichelleRoots I agree with you on watching your calorie deficit to lose weight I prefer full fat plain yogurt I can make it sweet or savory and I eat avocados as well I get 30 grams of protein in three meals a day sometimes more and it’s good for my body weight I eat full fat healthy fats as my choice I don’t count calories I believe in nutrient dense meals that nourish my body and leave me satisfied and I maintain my weight. We just need to learn healthy relationships with food balance and moderation and eat food of all colors try new foods too for a healthier lifestyle
@@joanshealy1662I believe in punctuation 😮
I thought you had to eat at least 25 g of protein at a time to build muscle protein synthesis ?
Every body is different, hitting overall daily protein goal is most important
How about Keto or Carnivore?
Probably still eating in a calorie deficit with a priority on protein so these tips will still help.
❤❤❤
:)
But I’m already small. Do I need be in a calorie deficit? I wanna build strength and muscle
No you don’t have to be in a calorie deficit. This completely depends on your body composition and goals. You can eat at maintenance or more to build muscle. Calorie deficit is for those looking to lose body fat.
Oh geez eating between 4 or 5 times a day I cannot imagine, people's insulin going up aaaalll the time. And eating like late is not convenient either. I'm hearing this video and I already heard different misleading information.
I don't believe I said it was mandatory? I eat 4-5 times a day and my insulin is completely fine lol. I also eat right before bed sometimes when I work late and I'm completely fine. If it doesn't work for you or you don't want to that's fine, but remember every body is different. :)
Very complicated.
what is complicated? I think these tips were pretty simple to implement if you are looking to eat more protein :)
What exactly was complicated?
Grammar feedback: It's FEWER calories. Not less. Less is for whole things, fewer is for parts. As in, I'm eating LESS food by having FEWER slices of pizza
?? Righto then lol
LOL I don't believe I said at the beginning of the video I was an english major but of course thank you for pointing this out - I hope you feel great now :)
LOL 🤔
No one is here for grammar lessons 😂
@@MichelleRoots You miss my point but don't matter really lol x x
Thank you for this information, Will help me a lot. Many thanks !
