Chicken breast smoothie. 60 grams of protein = what??

60 grams of protein is not a small number. 🧐

The current of "high protein on the label," especially chicken breasts, is being talked about a lot.

So Fern wanted to invite everyone back to the simple model...

If we want "about 60 grams of protein,"

It is actually comparable to many natural foods, such as

✅ Ripe meats such as chicken breast / lean pork / fish / shrimp / steak

About 257 grams.

If the raw part is weighed, it may need about 343 grams.

✅ whole egg. About nine eggs.

✅ about 17 egg whites.

✅ cow's milk. About 1.8 liters.

✅ Unsweetened soy milk. About 2 liters.

✅ Solid tofu. About 4-4.5 sheets.

✅ Green Bean / Ripe Black Bean About 4 cups

✅, ripe red beans. About 3 cups.

You can see that "60 grams of protein" if it comes from real food.

No less raw materials needed.

Especially if it's "plant protein."

Many species will require more quantities than meat.

And often comes with more carbohydrates, too.

So if any product claims very, very high protein,

But the price is unusually cheap. Or the details are unclear.

We should remark, not just the pack numbers.

What you want to see when you choose a high protein product is

1️⃣ Where does the protein come from?

Whey, egg, milk, soybeans, peas, or mixed plant protein.

2️⃣ The amount of protein per unit is actually consumed.

Sometimes the numbers are big, but it takes several packets or bottles to get them.

3️⃣ Raw materials and components

If the protein is really high, the main raw material should be consistent with the claimed numbers.

4️⃣ Sugar, Fat, Sodium and Total Energy

Protein is high, but energy is very high, sugar is high, or sodium is high.

5️⃣ Brand credibility, labels and FDA numbers.

Including readable, understandable nutritional information. Not vague.

The simple core of ferns is

"Eat enough protein from natural foods first."

like eggs, meat, fish, milk, tofu, nuts.

If you don't eat enough in real life, use supplemental products to fill in the gaps.

Because good proteins are not just high numbers.

But it must come from an obvious source. The amount is reasonable.

And fits the body with our lifestyle too
