Timestamps: 0:00 How much protein on keto is enough? 0:45 Here are protein amounts of some foods commonly eaten on keto In this video, I explain how much protein on keto is enough for you. I get asked this question a lot, and since it seems to be a point of confusion I want to clarify. I’ve been recommending 3 to 6 ounces of protein per meal when you’re on keto. People ask, is that the weight of the meal, fish, or eggs, or is that the amount of protein in those foods? When I say 3 to 6 ounces, I mean the actual weight of the food, whether it’s steak, lamb, chicken, or the like. Here are protein amounts of some foods commonly eaten on keto: 6 ounces of chicken is 56 grams 6 ounces of steak is 52 grams 6 ounces of lamb is 46 grams 6 ounces of pork is 44 grams 6 ounces of salmon is 44 grams 6 ounces of lobster is 32 grams 4 eggs is 28 grams On average, one ounce of protein weighs 28 grams, but on average has 8 grams of protein. You can see that even though these amounts are expressed in grams, they’re not the same thing. The amount I recommend you consume, 3 to 6 ounces per meal, is the weight of the food not the amount of protein it contains. How much protein you need varies, depending on your metabolism, your size, your age, how much stress you’re going through, and how many body problems you have. It also depends on your ability to digest protein. I recommend that you experiment. One meal, consume 3 ounces of protein and see how you feel. The next, consume 6 ounces and again, see how you feel. Sometimes, people need a little more than other people. I find on average I need about 4 ounces of protein per meal to feel good. By this I mean, good energy, strength, and endurance.
