How do you cook it?

You aren't.

1g per pound of bodyweight is excessive for overweight people. It's a recommendation because it's just easy to remember.

Other calculations are based on lean body mass.


The linked video in the description might be the video to start with.

Getting 200g protein is probably more than enough for you.

Great YT content, definitely a change worth subscribing to^

Yeah he's good for science-based stuff. He's also a natural (as opposed to juiced) which is nice. Not that there's anything wrong with juicing but it's nice that his content isn't biased by juicing experience.

Also @DeeThree - even if you are going for 200g of protein it can be a bit difficult if you don't want to just pound chicken breasts and protein powder all day. So here's some ideas for protein + weight loss.

Lean meats obviously, but in addition to chicken breast - lean ground turkey, lean fish, and my favorite is lean cuts of beef. The beef will still run you more calories than chicken breast, and yes it's not as juicy/tender/flavorful as strip or ribeye etc, but it's still steak and it's actually a lot cheaper than tastier cuts. I do top round steaks probably twice a week, only like 6 bucks a pound at Aldi. Top with steak sauce, worchestershire sauce or horseradish sour cream sauce, onions and mushrooms, etc.

Protein powder obviously, isolate if you can afford it, not a huge difference but saves calories. I usually use the pow to fill gaps between meals since it's best to space out protein intake. Late night treat is sugar free nut milk, sugar free puffed wheat cereal (50cals/cup), and protein powder. There's also protein powder microwave brownies/cakes.

Nonfat Greek yogurt. I enjoy it a number of ways... Overnight oats with berries... But one great way is making ranch dip for veggies. Just add powdered ranch packet to yogurt and enjoy a really tasty, macro-friendly, healthy snack.

Lastly... Most underrated imo... Fat free shredded cheese. It's pure protein. Definitely not as good as regular cheese but it's about 1/3 the calories.

And of course obligatory "fat is not bad for you, you need fat" - but low fat or fat free foods allow you to control your calories and macros a lot more easily.

Also meat jerky.

Shouldn't be a reason you cannot hit a reasonable amount of protein through whole foods.

My issue with “gap” protein options are the ingredients: seed/palm oils and guar gums. Pretty difficult finding protein powders without seed/palm oils, guar gums and various other chemicals that are inflammatory or disrupt your gut biome.

To each their own but i am able to hit .08 - 1 gram of protein daily with whole foods and really do not find it difficult.

How can I make tuna taste better?

How can I make tuna taste better?

Inexpensively: mayo, pepper and lemon juice whisked together. Let the canned tuna marinate in it. Secret ninja move: dip sour cream and onion chips in it.

I assume you're talking canned tuna? Buy higher quality tuna.

Also I think canned tuna sucks. But lemon and pepper.

I'm pretty sure everything tastes better when you add generic asian sauce to it.

Ingredients for generic asian sauce:

• Soy sauce
• Hoisin sauce
• Brown sugar
• Black Pepper
• Sriracha
• Fish Sauce
• Sesame Oil

Basically anything in the pantry you feel like using. I tend to go very light on the sweet stuff, and I might do some plum wine or sake--but then I have to reduce it down. Obviously white pepper is better than black and there are other Asian flavors you could add like miso, tobiko, etc--but I'm trying to keep this simple.

Hey, have you ever tired this stuff? I'm sure it work with "tuna" but I love it with my rice.
