Bio Availability and absorption both plays a role. Also you can't eat 4 whole eggs a day is a myth. The friend chicken you ate probably has more cholesterol than 4 boiled eggs.
its based on genes la. the best way to guess is look at your family history from ur parents. or do a dna test. some ppl have higher tolerance for cholesterol while others dun. no one size fits all.
@@Chihirolee3 Singaporean diet is so rich in protein - Fish, Eggs, Chicken, pork etc. You may just need vitamins as mostly are indoors and only few suppliments such as - whey & creatine (which maybe not needed if you are not in strength training - animal food has enough creatine) . Stay away from bars, instead buy Egg Sandwich or Sushi. And pack 2-3 scoops of whey, and either put in your soy drinks or almond milk or coconut milk whatever you take. Protein is likely no issue but Vitamins is for Singapore !
Well, I can see that. Because if you take in excessive proteins, without it being used for repairing tissues, the excess just converts to glucose via gluconeogenesis. (Source: Dr. Sten Ekberg)
The episode fails to touch on plant based proteins, comparison of bioavailability between plant, meat and dairy. Apart from whey protein concentrate and isolate there is micellar casein and calcium caseinate. So much missing. I am not even a nutrition expert!
well plant based is not as good as milk eggs meat, plants have like much more lower absorption rate, for example 50g of rice protein is not as 50g of meat proteins, to get the same benefit you need to eat 100g of rice protein (example just for simplicity). And it might even be harder to consume a low calories high protein diet only plant based. So for a vegetarian, if he eats 60g of protein/day, it will be kinda low, maybe he needs to eat 120g just to get to the normal threshold
@@growtocycle6992 it was just a random example, there is rice protein, pea didn't saw in any markets, maybe just online. And for Soy, as a man, I want to stay away from it.
@@andreinagy8800 if you're worried about soy you might want to stop drinking beer and coffee, many times more phytoestrogen than soy (phytoestrogens are anticarcinogen anyways)
Using egg as a measurement for total protein amount might misled some to think they should eat that amount of eggs per day to get that sufficient protein intake.
I ate a high protein diet and lifted for almost 15 years- protein powders, red meat, eggs, etc. My total cholesterol shot up to 300 and I almost ruined my kidneys. I built an impressive body, but felt better as a vegetarian.
@@moonar5820 Well, my total cholesterol plummeted after dropping the eggs and red meat. I'm not strict about it, but as someone who had gout at age 20 - I was an athlete but my father had it, too - I know that genetically I can't handle all that animal protein. Can't break down the amino acids into uric acid as efficiently as someone with Neanderthal genes…I guess… But I'm older now. I eat and train to last, not for hardcore anymore.
Its important that such videos are made so that the demand for protein rich foods doesnt shoot thru the roof. Its important that only a select few have access to healthy food. The rest cn follow this video.
Its in every gym these days, uses electrical impedance to measure body fat, muscle mass etc. Its called an inbody test or smtng....its relatively accurate if you consider the other methods...but all methods dont claim to be 100%effective
it’s said to measure your body index when the electrons run in your body…but the staff advised me to re-measure with the same machine if I wanna track my body index ie body fat %
Eating more protein doesn't work for me. I have lean meat for 2 meals a day, a handful of nuts and homemade banana shake for breakfast, milk everyday. The body composition test still shows me low on protein and my muscle mass is just just average (despite strength and weight training every day). I guess hormone and genetic is blocking the way.
Did they get the Whey part wrong? Casein and Whey protein are the ones that differ in absorption duration... Concentrate and Isolate differs in terms of macro nutrients.
If trying to be a Normal Human being , 1.2gram per Kg of body weight If trying to lose weight and maintain Muscle - 1.6gram per Kg of Body weight If trying to put on muscle - 2gram per kg of Body weight
ok... no.. increase in fat intake doesn't not lead to fat storage. increase in carbohydrate intake is what leads to fat storage. I am so tired of this misinformation. yes, if you were to take a lot of carbohydrate with fat, then it might cause some of the fat to be stored. but that is not the case if the fat is natural and unprocessed as in from meat. there is so much misinformation in this video.
Finally, someone mentions gout! If you eat purine rich foods, urinic acid increases, and crystals are formed in joints. So I dont understand how people can eat so much meat and not develop gout.
I had gout and followed doctors order not to eat high protein diet. Never explained that execissive high corn fructose syrup that liver can't process can actually increase radicals and uric acid that can cause inflammation. Now I mainly eat high protein diet from natural form and lose all my maintenance medication including gout medications. Uric acid down to 200 from 600 and I have more muscle mass at 40 than when I was 20. Doctors has no idea when it comes to nutrition. If I keep listening to my doctor about nutrition I will still be sick and lots of medications.
This is very misleading... Losing weight is not all about the calories... Please consider the role of hormones specially insulin... Those protein bars are packed with sugars!!!
I'm very disappointed that you glossed over the fact that protein comes from plants and because ruminants and other animals eat plants, they have plenty of protein in them. You kept ramming home the misleading idea that we need animal products to get protein by mentioning meat and eggs frequently, as well as dairy, yet you ignored the health benefits of consuming plants. You also failed to mention hem iron, casein and other inflammatory agents in animal-based foods. I also felt that you didn't pay enough attention to the amount of fat and calories, not to mention sodium. Finally, you ignored the health risks associated with highly and ultra-processed ingredients and food.
Thanks for pointing out inflammatory agents in animal-based food👏👏 fat, calories and sodium👏👏highly and ultra-processed ingredients👏👏 You have pointed out important factors to consider when choosing 'healthy' high protein food.
There is a lot of Fake News on this subject. For example, I was told my MD (who is a vegan) that there is no such thing as either a sulfur deficiency or a protein deficiency. Animals (including humans) produce both of these. Because he is a vegan (i.e. an extremist), I'm sure his data is wrong but how wrong? This video told me I ought to consume X amount of protein per meal and that eating fat makes you fat. We know that eating starches and sugars makes you fat and that fat in your diet does not. Eating the wrong kinds of fats can hurt you in many ways but directly making you fat is not something they are known for doing. So there is a LOT of noise out there and precious little signal, which tells me that nobody knows what he's talking about.
Your doctor's data isn't wrong and vegans aren't extremists. Raw vegans/frutarians still can be absolutely healthy as long as the diet is thought through and contain enough calories your body can absorb. Sugars/carbohydrates does not make you fat. EXCESSIVE carbohydrates does but EXCESSIVE fat and/or protein too. Calories are calories. Your body won't let calories be wasted. Burn it by any activities or all will be stored in the form of fat. First in the line is fat you ate since storing is the least costly option. The last will be any sugar/carbohydrates since burn it is the least costly option. Your body always chooses the easiest, least energy expensive path. To trick your body eat raw, unprocessed food in big chunks. Chewing takes lots of energy and is never as perfect as a food processor. Your body cannot extract enough calories from raw, unprocessed food but will learn this long after you finish your meal. Eat cooked/processed food, especially animal one and you will always absorb more energy you need. Next you need to burn it but don't worry sport is healthy.
That is why we have essential protein! We have essential vitamins! Essential minerals! But we never have essential carbohydrates! Never! Essential means you need it for you to live!🙏
@@verreal Sure you could. Many people on a carnivore diet do well. Some carbs help those physically very fit and active but if your waistline circumference is more than 1/2 your height then no carbs or very low carbs (20-50 grams/day) is probably best. A zero fiber diet is best for everyone’s gut health, the only randomized controlled study in humans proved zero fiber is best(no health issues at all!) and those in groups eating increasingly more fiber did corresponding much worse. For brain health we seem to require a minimum of 120 grams a day of protein as a recent study showed than if you only eat 84 grams/day protein your amyloid beta will be 8.5 fold higher, and at 54 grams/day it will be 12 fold higher. This was determined via PET scans of human brains- much more accurate than serum or spinal fluid assessments. Tens of billions was spent trying to obtain these results with drugs to prevent Alzheimer’s. We just need to eat more protein. Also, only with end stage kidney failure, maybe stage 3-4, is high protein levels a concern. These folks should read more studies.
@@ws7001 it seems like you think you are an expert because you read 1 or 3 studies to support your worldview. Are you a dietician or even educated in biology?
@@ScheveSneeuwSchuifSchep I do not claim to be an expert. I do like reading studies of which I have read several hundred and thousands of abstracts. I would like to see more studies exploring protein intake and brain health and possible correlations with brain size, muscle weight, BMI, metabolic indicators, diet type( SAD, Keto, MIND, Carnivore, plant based) and exercise levels. I am impressed that amyloid beta levels were effected this much and with this degree of significance by a simple dietary factor. Hopefully other key known confounders relating to Alzheimer’s would be considered such as: how much unprocessed red meat consumed (30% less risk per 50 grams a day), Benfotiamine supplementation (77% less decline at 300 mg/day), Vitamin D3 supplementation (75% reduction in risk with highest quintile group vs lowest), Viagra (up to 73% less incidence in men-possible healthy user bias though), and factors reducing possible by 50%- green tea, low calorie diets,high Omega 3, trace lithium, lipoic acid supplementation, Keto diet?, Vitamin Bs (only in 30% of population though).
Meat and whey protein is all that should be in your cart. Complete, usable protein. Incomplete proteins are not usable and sugar and artificial sweeteners are poison. I am on a carnivore diet. Meat, hard cheeses, eggs. Pork skins occasionally for a snack. I cook with real butter, lard, bacon grease, avocado oil. My bloodwork is perfect and on no medications and I am 57.
In land short Singapore it will be a problem to be self sufficient in producing animal based proteins (say eggs or chicken). Some government fund should be allocated to promote plant based proteins that can made as appetising and as nutritious as animal proteins. Perhaps even consider a plant protein food subsidy?
@@stoolie Singapore had approved the sale of cultured chicken meat grown from cells (a process similiar to what all animals do but now being done in a lab factory). Singapore is the first country to give this approval but its demand is limited as it is much more expensive than the real thing. Plant based proteins are what vegans had been consuming in the past and are made from soya beans usually. Such vegans products can sometimes be more expensive than real meat now as the demand is low. My idea is to make these vegan products an attractive first choice for consumers to increase demand and lower the price.
@@JordanVic87 Relax and you get no fresh chicken to eat since Malaysia ban its export to Singapore since 2022 June 1. Frozen chicken price shoots up in tandem. Do not be dependent on the whims and fancy of another country's politicians. Remember "potong ayer" (cut water) was heard regularly from the north not so long ago. Be wise like the elders leaders. Thats how we get the huge Marina barrage reservoir now.
As a decades long vegan, I'm so sick and tired of people of saying, "But how do you get protein?" Protein is in all real food! I did use a protein supplement for a long time, but recently quit it, and am still alive. The only "but" is that if you are not eating many calories, you do need a little bit more protein than someone else because if you are dieting/limiting calories, some of the protein you eat gets burned as fuel instead of used for maintenance and repair.
I was total vegetarian for ten years no protein at all and no protein powders. It hasn't shown anything bad very long, and only in tenth year I started to have great problems, which drastically improved after I switched to meat again. So please be aware body is complex mechanism it will not show you right away. It takes long time but then bad consequences.
@@annavalentinovna5267 Keep in mind that I've been vegan for decades. I did end up going back to my morning isolated pea protein dose a while ago, but I am definitely not meat deficient. My blood work at age 57 is great.
@@Atheria444 I totally support you in any of your choice, my blood was also ideal, but feeling was bad, all joints were cracking throughout the body. Just in month after I ve got to good quality whole food meat cracking throughout the body disappeared. I am totally happy for you if you are doing well❤️
We are not uniform in our dietary and metabolic needs. Veganism is a low-protein diet. Some can tolerate it and some cannot. A protein deficiency resulting from a weight loss diet where I simply ate less food for an extended period of time ruined my beautiful long hair, which grew back curly and brittle. In any case, I have never met a person who said, "I get all the protein I need from whatever food I choose to eat" who had even diaried and analyzed a single day of food intake. Pushing dietary supplements and superfoods is big business. Eat whole natural foods. Prepare food from basic ingredients.
Im skinny asian guy and underweight according to my height and age(23),do i need to first gain weights to start working out for gaining muscles or is it okay to start working out despite being underweight?
if ur on the lean build, focus on ur workout and breathing techniques. on top of this try to eat around 3k calories per day. If thats too expensive u can alternatively get a mass gainer which will help you build in size + your work out. Be consistent in ur workout routine and diet ull soon see the gains.
@@kawotokayemi4428 try the push pull legs split. Its a 3 day split and forces you to stay regular/consistent because missing one day will have issues (less rest, more fatigue) for the next day. Plus it has the ideal number of times you have to train your muscles per week(2) and ideal rest you should give for each muscle (48 to 72 hours). Its much better than the conventional bro split (one muscle per day) which is suited for professional bodybuilders. On the diet side usually people can get by with one scoop of whey or 10 eggs per day....depending on the diet (vegan, omnivore...) you are on
Here is the data on human breast milk...which RAPIDLY GROWING babies thrive on. It's only .8 to .9% protein. Mature human milk contains 3%--5% fat, 0.8%--0.9% protein, 6.9%--7.2% carbohydrate calculated as lactose, and 0.2% mineral constituents expressed as ash. Its energy content is 60--75 kcal/100 ml. Protein content is markedly higher and carbohydrate content lower in colostrum than in mature milk.
many vegetables actually do contain a good amount of protein! the bioavailability might not be as high as meat, but a whole foods diet is generally a great diet to be on, especially if you have variety.
Keto is the key fresh meats plus green vege, no carbo /sugar... had been doing past 2 year, so far no much problem been doing 3-4 full blood works every year...so far within good parameter. key is no process foods
By the way, see how bias we are when talking about protein that we identify it with animal products. That's another hang up from "great america" that goes against reality, just think about the so called blue zones, the areas, not countries, where people live the most and enjoy better health. The base of their diet is carbs, none refined.
Well animal products protein are the best, is the sense that are the most absorbed by the body and have all the essential amino acids, for example 50g of rice protein is not the same as 50g of chicken protein, you might need to eat 100g of rice protein just to be even with the chicken. As that doctor said, we also need vitamins and minerals, that we are getting from a well balanced diet. Being vegetarian is not the best variant, plants with high protein content also have high carbs, so higher calories. And also, a vegetarian that eats 60g proteins/day, it is to low, because way less of it is absorbed, it will need to eat maybe double that.
nutritonal science has more refined views on proteins......such as not eating heavy meals at night, better in the morning and lunch. Watch sugar, sucrose, fructose in foods. A dietician is not same as nutritionist
Here's what I've learned over the years, people make nutrition really complicated but it isn't. Eat everything what nature gives you (fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, nuts, seeds) and avoid everything that is man made, comes in a box or packaging (Including rice, bread , sugar etc). Protein powders are total waste of money, our body needs both micro and macro nutrients. So for supplemental purposes take Vitamin D which our body can't make and Turmeric to reduce inflammation. Collagen maybe if you aren't getting enough from food, helps with skin, hair and nails. Intermittent fasting is even better helps with Autophagy and don't eat after 6:30 - 7 PM. Simple as that.
A load of bull! Those protein bars are just sugar and carbs. A cheap way to get loads of protein post work-out is to open up a can of sardines! AND what about those of us that don't like eggs? Ever heard of LENTILS?
I am so surprised that Singaporean doctors are so wrong - having protein just after gym is totally wrong. First your body doesn't use protein that you took second after gym one needs carbs. Having protein after gym is a myth & I suggest Singapore doctors to read research papers more often. Further all these bars tend to have high sugar or other ingredients. If you are trying to reduce fat eat vegetables, protein and balanced diet esp. No msg plz (which I assume Singaporean food have a lot). Also, stress level plays on your fat storage, sleep plays role. Chao
If you’re pregnant or a child then growth is involved and you need extra protein for this reason. Excess protein not used by body is turned into fat and carbs and the hydrogen carbon is excreted in the urine . Excessive protein puts on weight , can damage kidneys that have to filter it out, and also can clog arteries causing stroke and heart attack. There is a lot of saturated fat and also hormones in meat and dairy as well. Meat based diets case more cancer ♋️ which is proven by random clinical trails. The key word here is a balanced diet.
Dietary protein Vs ultraprocessed food-like rubbish. Not a comparison. Also, most of the ultraprocessed crap is full of cheap plant based protein of questionable bioavailability.
protein protein protein ! are we getting too much protein that are putting tons of excess strain and pressure on out organs that are causing all the cancer, obesity etc that we the modern world are facing. looking at the most healthiest and longest living people of the world eat very little proteins.
How can the presenter use SO MANY PLASTIC BAGS just for this episode? I thought there was some CNA Green Plan Challenge. Don't be another greenwashing company!
It is mind blowing if you eat those eggs you seen, your body will lose its fats opposite of what your mind was condition to believe. Reality VS Indoctrination. If you discovered the truth they will says do not believe the reality and it was just a mirage! 💩
No, we NEED carbs. Carbs are essential for good gut health (microbiome) which is crucial for overall health and function. That's why athletes are going plant-based nowadays and not shy of carbs in order to improve their performances. E.g. study found that complex carbs increase beneficial gut bacteria Bifidobacterium longum which positively influence amino acid fermentation, and helps with muscle maintenance and overall cell structure.
@@helentam-semmens821This is incorrect...there are no essential carbohydrates; only essential amino acids (protein) and essential fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6 oils). Any glucose (carbs/sugar) the body needs it can make itself from these other two (gluconeogenesis). Stop repeating Big Food industry nutrition propaganda ✋️
