Thomas, can I ask you why you seem to be emphasizing the mono and poly unsaturated fats over the saturated fats in the meat products? My understanding of healthy dietary fat IS clean animal saturated fats. For contrast eggs, as we all know, just about the perfect food, are very high in saturated fat but you didn't mention that in the egg discussion'. Not trying to complain or trap you...I'm really interested to understand. Thank you for wonderful video...I've been thinking about wading back into the craziness of COSTCO shopping to start buying more bulk for high quality red meat and hamburger. This vid convinces me to go back in. Ironically you skipped the red meat zone completely. : /
Can you do a updated Costco haul for low calorie and high protein? Or even a Sam's club if you have one near you 🙏 I absolutely love your videos and I followed you the last time I lost weight. I got pregnant with my youngest and stopped and I'm just starting to get back into it again so of course came to your videos first 🙏
@@zackcrouch6930you’re the dumbest person alive if you think a governmental puppet is responsible for companies price gouging products that aren’t in a manufacturing or production shortage
This channel really is top tier in a super saturated youtube space. Really love how you break everything down and are realistic about diets. Tired of the channels where we have guys eating a absurdly amount of oatmeal, 3 eggs, and a half a bottle of egg whites for breakfast and then just plain chicken and broccoli for all other meals. This is a channel where people can actually translate it to their actual lives. Keep it up man you are awesome.
Thomas was talking about Greek yogurt ,being so hot these days I spread on wax paper on cookie sheet after adding other ingredients freeze break up great snack when sweating after in hot weather . Also I freeze grapes they last longer taste better an just 4 or so grapes cools you off 😊
It's an unfortunate thing that we have to imagine. I thought that was the point of having things like the FDA in place was so they could regulate companies and keep poison out of our food.
That seaweed snack is fantastic! It has a lot of nutrients and hits the “chips” spot for me. I’ve been able to cut chips out completely now. It will also rehydrate in your stomach and make you feel full.
Not sure if this is still relevant but I looked this up and saw an article from March 2022 saying Costco was sued for not disclosing that this may contain a carcinogen called cadmium. I don’t know if it was just a suit or if the product was improved afterwards but maybe look into it!
That roasted sliced turkey breast works PERFECTLY as the noodle part of making a lasagna, just FYI. It is very similar texture and the turkey doesn't add any weird flavors.
Thomas, on the ingredients for the first chip was “annatto” - it’s often in foods to create a yellow/cheesy look - it’s a known intestinal irritant, and frequently causes hives, good to stay away from & it’s showing up in lots of foods lately.
Love the Tom Brady attitude! This is a seminar on Costco protein, incredibly thorough. I’m sure I’m not the only viewer who will watch this vid a few more times. Thank you!
$227 for maybe a week of protein. I just grab the five dozen eggs for 12.49 and some ground turkey and call it a week. I may also grab some canned chicken for the long-term pantry.
When you trim out all the empty processed foods and carbs, there isn't much food bulk left.. It's like they developed modern foods to look big, taste nice, and also give you an inverted food pyramid! It is almost like we eat until we get enough protein, and protein poor foods make us eat more. It feels like we are eating, but its junk.
@@Peacefulpaige22 Google it. It’s all over social media. It gets way too thick for me with protein powder, so I do a cup of FF Greek yogurt, about a tablespoon or so of sugar free vanilla pudding powder and berries. Lately I’ve been adding grape nuts for a crunch and low calorie and fiber
That sounds awesome but I think the sugar free stuff is worse than sugar. Whenever I have any yogurt or diet drink with that, my hands and legs will spasm for a couple days. So obviously I won't go within 10 feet of that stuff anymore.
Hey man, just discovered your channel. Really top tier, non judgmental, clear content. I also appreciate that while you film in public spaces, you seem very considerate of those around you and that is so refreshing to see. Appreciate the hard work!
This is what I was thinking too. I love that he isn’t condemning any of the food and recognizes there are different options for different budgets and different diets. Also moving out of the way being considerate 💕
For a great snack I like to portion out some of those Whisp Parmesan Crisps and mix it in a bowl with Epic Himalayan Salt Pork Rinds. The pork rinds are baked so they have lower fat and a better protein to calorie ratio. They are an awesome balanced mix.
Thank you! I roll thru Costco for turkey, avocados and bell peppers. If I go through the prepared foods all of sudden my tickets is in the $100’s. But once a quarter it’s worth doing. You shined some lights!
Great suggestions, Thomas. Thank you! I had a lot of success losing weight following your Keto videos. As I pursued strength training-I increased my protein intake and kept low carb. Yowza! Nothing has helped me more to increase muscle and drop body fat than Prioritizing Protein!!! So happy that you are sharing the message of protein power, too.❤️💪❤️
Ty Screen shot EVERYTHING!!! Heading there today.. perfect timing. Need to rebuild lost muscles inadvertently have lost on keto. Trying to learn how to do it now. ~ Catt. Appreciate you!
I try to follow the Naiman Rule. 1:10 or better ratio of Grams of Protein/Total Calories to be considered "High Protein". Pumpkin seeds are 1:18 for eg. and would not be considered "high protein".
Great content! There is one thing you forgot which is my absolute fave: Okami Organic Edamame located in the cold foods veggie section. Half cup = 11 g of protein. So good. I do not even boil them. I just them fresh from the container. I peel them first, of course. Keep up the great work!
I just watched this one and it is fantastic! Thank you for the very informative walkthrough for proteins at Costco. I just added 3 items from your list to our Costco trip for today. This is a great series of videos!
I got to hand it to this guy. He makes content every single day. Educating his base on all the specifics but more importantly explaining the why so we can use that knowledge on other products that aren't covered here.
Why does everyone skip the reviewing of Fairlife’s High Protein milks?! It’s 30g’s of protein but nobody has done a breakdown to see whether it’s actually good protein or not.
I love collagen with an instant coffee with cream, it mixes with the cream and makes it ultra thick, it's very good in the texture for me, I completely recommend it, I buy a 100% collagen, so, no added flavor, but collagen itself has a flavor, so it is ok with the coffee because that is a stronger flavor.
Great video! I always struggle with this kind of stuff and mixing up protein intake. Learned a lot on what to look for on the labels. My only comment is on the Greek yogurt. Fage was 10 calories less for 3/4 cup vs the other one for 2/3 cup. But then again the other brand for 3/4 cup would be higher in protein.
❤ Thank you for this informative and very well laid out review of Costco products that are quality products. You break down the ingredients. You absolutely understand and know the science behind it. I just stumbled upon your channel and am an instant fan. Thank you.
Thank you! Please do more of these shopping videos. I’m not a technical person, so I find your other vids a little difficult to get into. But this is so helpful and pairs a product to the info you are teaching. We’ll dome!
I wish my Costco was that empty!!!! Must be nice not having a bunch of people all around you and in your way! My Costco is like going to the mall during Christmas season 😠
I had bariatric surgery in 2021, and since then ive veen really focusing on high protein, lower fat foods. I can deal with a little bit more fat, but not super high. I am glad to have other ideas than the basic chicken, fish, etc. Thank you!
AWESOME!!! 👏😁👏😁👏👍Just what I needed!!! I have been getting a headache every time I’ve been to the supermarket lately so this is amazing!!! 😍 I’ve been trying not to buy the same item but it can become overwhelming trying to decide what it worth it and what can be damaging to my goals. So thank you for taking us shopping, this is very valuable and needed info!!
Bacon bits also a great deal at costco. Once you cook bacon down you lose tons of the fat, making it a crazy price pound for pound. 20 oz for less than ten bucks is an amazing deal.
I bought a bag the other day. I keep it in my freezer and grab a handful as needed. I realized the cost saving and ease of use this product provides. I also had no self control and used to cook and eat a whole pound of bacon in one day if it was around. Not tempted to eat the bacon bits that way.
Beef and broccoli is my go to, could eat it every day. Bang for buck/convince there is nothing quite like buying a beef roast, pork loin, ham chunk, turkey. Slow cook it, oven roast it, make your own dry rub or keto friendly marinade to go with them. Whole proteins for weeks, without the need to spend an insane amount of money. Might feel like it's expensive but nothing compared to a big costco haul. Also important to stay hydrated, eat your vegetables more so then the meat. Helps with fiber, digestion and prevents some of the hard to digest proteins or processed foods from sitting around in your gut increasing your risk of digestive problems along with colon cancer. Lets not forget the benefits of doing the odd 24 hour water fast too! once again help clear out you digestive system and offer a wide range of additional benefits. Last but not least use a sauna or steam if available to you; huge host of benefits. Thomas thank you for all the information you provid to the public!
This is helpful. The problem my family has is changing our tastebuds from junk food. The deli meat was a perfect example. I imagine if I brought that home, we would all think it taste too gamey because we are use to the fillers and preservatives. 😕. I am trying to learn how to prepare food that taste okay when the meat taste gamey.
I also love the low fat baby swiss cheese! 14g of protein for 100 cal. You made me feel great about everything I buy! You just made a video of my inner dialogue going through Costco. I don't think salt is bad but so many of those things are just LOADED. I tend to feel like beef jerky after some of those things. Especially the Amylu and Organic Turkey (I love that stuff). Careful with the soy protien crisps because they cause "issues" for me lol.
Thanks Thomas for your videos! They are helpful in drastically improving my health & wellbeing! I’ve lost 70 lbs in 13 months with your insight & research!
As a black man from here in Louisiana, who was born in the 70's, I must say that I'd like to point out to all of yall that based on the VA's hospital lab ranges, "if" your blood sugar is lower than 70, you're "not" eating enough carbs, "if" your blood sugar is higher than 110, in an intermittent fasted state, you're eatin' too many carbs.
Thank you !! Super helpful video .. I freaking love Costco and just confirms all the stuff. I’ve already been buying. I’ve been waiting for a video like this. Good job.
Hi recently started watching your videos, very interesting and educational is it possible that you can do a video on perimenopause and menopause supplements, vitamins that can help us poor suffering women it will be much appreciated
Kiolbassa organic smoked beef sausage, 100% grass fed/finished. One sausage is 300-calories, so I don't think that is outrageous for the quality of the meat. Cheaper at Costco in Carson City, Nevada, $13.99 per package.
I can't believe that you did not cover Gold Standard, Whey Protein Isolate. I have been buying it at Costco for years. The resealable bag is 5.5 pounds and is now just over $70, although it used to sell for under $40. One scoop is 31 grams, of which 24 grams is protein. It has almost no fat or carbs, and comes in vanilla or chocolate. It mixes easily into a shake. I add creatine, beta alanine, arginine and an amino acid supplement of both essential and non-essential aminos. This supercharges my workouts.
Solid breakfast: 2 hard-boiled eggs, 1 apple with peanut butter, black coffee. I used to like plain oatmeal with fresh raisins & cinnamon; before i quit oats. Stay healthy friends.
@@stealth07r1 I quit all grains. Contemporary mass produced grains aren't what they used to be, for the most part. Some alternative flours I eat, but mostly I adhere to a Paleo Diet: meat/vegetable/fruit/nut & seed diet. Always check labels. Companies hide corn sugars in almost everything and I personally believe it is directly related to the obesity & diabetes epidemic. To each his/her own though.
Grains digest to be very acidic as well. Bad GI bacteria thrive in acidic environments, as well as cancers. Meat is acidic too so limit red meat. Prioritize alkaline foods.
Between those two yogurts, I would definitely be going with Fage because: *Two less grams carbs per serving *Slightly bigger serving size, 3/4 cup vs. 2/3 cup *Slightly more sodium. Miniscule, but every bit matters on keto. *Higher nutrient percentages. Two grams more on total sugars, but that's the sacrifice, I guess. More pluses than minuses.
Although the cup sizes are different they have the same size in grams. And I do see the extra sodium as a benefit for some. But it's also a downside for others, just like with the carb/sugar amount
Your Greek yogurt assessment...some may note the difference in the serving size. Minimal. However, some folks may find it enough to pick one over the other, which is one thing to note when comparing products.
I don't see why not pick the orgain over the other plant based powder if you are vegan. Both have a perfect amino acid profile. You don't need 20 different protein sources to get a good amino acid profile. My favorite I've seen so far is the GNC plant based powders though not at Costco.
This is a fantastic video, thanks for taking the time to make it. its a bit overwhelming and its interesting to see that the things that state are healthy might not be the healthiest option
If you can get 1 gram of protein per 10 calories, you're doing good. Foods that fall into that category are Greek Yogurt and Cod. Those bars having a pretty surprising ratio actually. Sometimes I'll look at the macros on an average fitness bar and it'll be like 250 calories and 10 grams oof protein...which is shitty.
video idea: Dear Thomas, Thank you for this detailed video again. I know we are not crazy meticulous about counting calories as a main rule, but in this video you were crunching numbers a bit based on protein calorie ratios, which gave you clear indication of what to deem as "Thomas approved". I dont know if it would make any sense to make a short "instruction manual" about the calorie/protein/fat ratio in certain foods that make you happy in the framework of your nutrition approach recently, to put us into the ballpark about what to look for in numbers when we visit our local grocery stores. Thank you very much in advance
Check out the book The P:E Diet by Ted Naiman for an expanded version of this general idea, with lots of examples. P:E is the ratio of protein to energy.
