In this video, we’re going to talk about protein for fat burning. I’m going to cover how much protein you need in your diet to start losing weight and getting to the end result.

Protein does trigger fat-burning hormones. But, you have to understand what a protein is. In nature, very few things come in pure proteins; they’re usually a combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. You need all of these pieces of the puzzle to trigger fat burning. You can’t get by with only protein for fat burning.

Some of the foods that people consume thinking they’re getting protein don’t actually have that much protein and won’t trigger fat loss.
Nuts:
Protein - 15%
Carbs - 13%
Fats - 70%
Nutrition - High

Beans: 
Protein - 23%
Carbs - 72% (too many carbs if you’re trying to lose weight)
Fats 3%
Nutrition - Low

Hummus:
Protein - 11%
Carbs - 45% (too many carbs if you’re trying to lose weight)
Fats - 44%
Nutrition - Low

Yogurt:
Protein - 36%
Carbs - 29% (too many carbs if you’re trying to lose weight)
Fats - 22%
Nutrition - High

Grains:
Protein - 15%
Carbs - 75% (too many carbs if you’re trying to lose weight)
 Fats - 4%
Nutrition - Low

Fish:
Protein - 93%
Carbs - 0
Fats - 7%

Animal protein:
Protein - 59%
Carbs - 0
Fats - 41%

Kale:
Protein - 16%
Carbs - 72 % (these carbs don’t turn to sugar fast)
Fats - 15 % 
Nutrition - High

Egg:
Protein - 29%
Carbs - 2%
Fats - 69% 


What to do:

• Keep your carbs low (carbs that turn to sugar fast like grains, not vegetables)
• Consume foods with higher protein 
• Fats are neutral (you don’t need to worry about your fat intake as long as you eat plenty of vegetables)
• You also need to eat nutrient-dense foods

*Keep in mind a little bit of the wrong thing can nullify a lot of the good things. If you have a slower metabolism you need to avoid high-carb foods. Always take into account the many different variables and layers that apply to fat burning.
