10 Foods You Never Knew Had THIS Much Protein!

This is one of my favorite recipes for Healthy Alfredo . Start with a 12 oz. box of 100% whole wheat penne pasta( or whatever shape you like). Cook your pasta the way you normally do. I prefer the low water method: for every cup of dry pasta, add 1.5 cups of water. Salt to your particular tastes or health requirements. As soon as the water starts to simmer, add the pasta and cover the pot. With a lid, a roiling boil is unnecessary. Around the 5 minutes mark, check your pasta for your preferred texture and add 8-16 oz of sliced raw mushrooms. These would have been included in Jeff's list if he extended it from ten to fifteen. When the pasta is done, turn off the heat and add a 1lb. bag of frozen peas and stir. While your pasta is cooking, blend 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 half cup of grated Parmigiano Regiano,
and 1 half cup of pasta water. Drain your pasta. If you used the low water method, the water should be absorbed. Stir in your sauce with plenty of fresh ground pepper and/or additional Parmigiano Regiano. To up the protein throw in 1-4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs with your dry pasta. You can use thawed or frozen chicken, but for every 2 pieces, you will need to add another cup of water(if you're using the low water method). When your chicken looks done, pull it out of the water and slice it up. If you used frozen chicken, it will probably still be pink in middle. Put your cut-up chicken back in the pasta pot to finish cooking. Your chicken should end up tender and moist. However, if it is rubbery, it means that you over-salted your pasta water. If you're adding chicken to your recipe, you may want to save the salt until the end. Leftovers: you can store leftovers like you normally would, given the nature of certain proteins this recipe does not microwave well, but eaten cold, it makes a very tasty pasta salad. Meal prepping: for the above reasons, keep your sauce separate and add it after you have re-heated your pasta portion.

Some people have real digestive issues with gluten as found in pasta, breads, oats etc. Also, soy can be very problematic for anyone with thyroid issues. Good general guidelines though.

I love pumpkin seeds and lentils. Learning to like cottage cheese. I might add chia seeds to the list. 5 grams in 2 spoonfuls that mix in great with any greek or icelandic yogurt.

Thank you!

EGGS BACON BUTTER AND RED MEAT WITH A HIGH FAT CONTENT

Well if you add pasta in the options I could add nutritional yeast as well. I haven't try it for much but if you like look it up. It's quite high in carbohydrates about 37/100g but it also has 21g fiber and of course 47g protein!

Every plant based protein is LESS available, by a large percentage, than animal based protein. In addition to the lessened availability of the protein plant based food, especially grains and legumes, contain anti-nutrients which block the absorption of certain other nutrients, primarily minerals. So of that 5.5g of protein in spinach, only approximately 1.1g are available, and the oxalates and other anti-nutrients nullify the PRE-vitamin and minerals present.

Cheese is a great one

Some bread has nearly as much per slice as en egg

I don’t like cottage cheese either.

Dairy, great, 37% of American adults can't use it without severe problems. Cottage cheese, even as a small child I would gag and hurl that crap back up. Soybeans/edamame and all I can say is why not just take a birth control pill? I love lentils and split peas, but two things, they have more than tripled in price since pandemic, and they give me gas that not even 1.6 grams of Beano takes care of. Spirulina might be a good source of protein, in a shake that has the ability to overpower its flavor and texture.

Funny, I’ve always added peas and spinach to pasta, and Parmesan cheese, of course. What a super helpful video.

Beans, my brothers. Canned Beans are the way. White beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, and any other canned legume are the cheapest and easiest way to increase your protein intake! For under $2 per meal, I eat 34g of protein plus the super healthy fiber. I've been eating 1 can of kidney beans + 1 can of white beans with a little olive oil, slat and pepper for lunch for a year now and I've slimmed down the fat while getting the muscle gains! It's a win-win-WIN!!! 💪

A pound tub of lowfat quark in Sweden is 1.25$, 55g for 300 calories (11g protein, 60cal per 100g). I have zero calorie syrup on it as my icecream every other day or so, or just punch an espresso capsule in it before having a walk.

Peanut Butter!

Whip your cottage cheese and use it as a sauce, dip, fruit dip etc

Soy- Japanese eat fermented soy as tofu which is healthy. Unfermented soy is likely cancerous

I can never understand why americans measure food in "cups". Not all cups are the same, it also depends how full the cup is. The same cup could be 25 grams or 50 grams. There are also cups which fit 200 grams of said food. So what is 4grams protein "per cup" ? Its just stupid...

What kind of spinach is he eating??

I looked at the protein vs. calories for these food items and listed them by what has the most protein/lower calories: spiruluna, cottage cheese, spinach, parmesan reggiano, peas, edamame, pumpkin seeds, oatmeal, quinoa, whole grain penne pasta, lentils

pasta and peas? tuna noodle casserole, folks

Well, the question is: "Proteins or complete proteins?"

thank you so much for providing alternative sources of protein for body builders who dont want the "classic" sources. great info, thanks for showing people how to turn their plant proteins into completes

Yes to cottage cheese, but it is VERY high in sodium....not ideal.

People love to over complicate the whole protein thing. 1-1/2 cup egg white, 2 whole eggs and 85 grams cooked chicken breast all pan fried to a scramble, salt and pepper to taste. Best breakfast possible at 76 grams protein and 4 grams carbs. Lunch one can tuna in water, 1/2 cup chickpeas on bread or oatmeal with banana. Dinner, crumbed fish fillets, potato or fried tofu, and green fresh salad. Snacks through day, banana, apple, orange or 20 grams cashew or peanuts. An easy 170-200 grams protein in a day with all macros well covered.

Green Grapes w/ Low Fat Cottage Cheese is my morning go to! About 10-15 grapes per 2 servings usually allow for a grape a bite np. Thx for the video

I just wanted to say thank you. I know it's your Job and you earn money by it, but you did something really amazing to me, that no one ever managed before. While I don't agree with your personal body philosophy for myself, you actually managed to motivate me beyond the point of my initial impulse to become stronger, more flexible and lose a little weight.

I really like how you're not apologetic and even kind of confrontational without the intent to harm anyone. Sugarcoating reality helps no one, right? And coming back to your physique: It's amazing! Showing me on your perfectly ripped body which exercises work which muscles is more than intuitive and while I don't think I'll ever bring up that amount of passion for my physique, I'm really impressed by how you make me think I could get as ripped as you, if I'd put enough work into it.

Looking at close to 15 million well deserved subscribers, you'll probably won't even read my comment, but I like to think that you do and enjoy the feeling of having helped a former couch potato to get his glutes up and train for a stable and strong body. I'd say I'm half way through and I'm starting to really like myself again. I know, I did that, but you helped a lot! And even when I'm finally at the point where I'll mostly train to keep my body in shape rather than to change it, I'll look up what new tips and tricks you got for me. :)

Again, my utmost respect for your life's work, your body and a big thank you!

Bro just use gram as a unit, 11g per oz is jibberish, 11g per 28g is better isn't it, parmasean is over 30% protein

Gluten, dairy and leptons are not smart choices.

7 Cups Of Peas For 57

7.5 Cups Of Pasta = 57 Gram 😂

Beat Cottage cheese and eggs together and scramble. Creamy delish!

I love plant proteins I love the taste and texture of plant proteins I hate animal proteins though I do eat them,, the big problem with plant proteins is you end up getting lots of calories for such a small amount of protein
It's basically a protein rip-off
Oohh if only animal proteins had the same taste and texture of plant proteins i Wish

You do the best vids! Love ya❤️👏💐🐐🌿🙏🏻

by the way- you just can eat 3g of spirulina per day, more than that could be a health problem

Add hemp hearts to your oatmeal and pow!

Pumpkin seeds are not that inexpensive. I’d go for sardines for g/$

And after u eat them u be in the bath room all night

So we need to eat all of them to get 57grs? 😂

Something not many people realize is, you can put CHEESE in porridge (oatmeal). It's just a starch like potatoes, pasta, or rice. Cheese goes great in it. So, you can grate up some Parmesan cheese (or even cheddar), add a wee bit of butter, and it's very yummy.

It's Not about How Much Protien it consists it's all about How Stronger The Amino Acid Profile Is That Matters the most

Can you make content on how to combine other foods to make a complete protein? Love the wheat pasta & peas hack, however I don’t eat whole wheat(it’s heavy in my body) I tend to eat brown rice & quinoa pasta. We would love some info for those who don’t eat meat or dairy in general! Much love & gratitude for what you do & share! 💚

Here to add, the "superfood" natto.

No pasta in any form for me, organic or gluten-free, No starchy carbs foods serves me good. Nor Oxalate spinach.. When nuts, eggs and other real food has a higher count of protein.

now I know the Incredible Hulk's secret - POND SCUM! No wonder he's so green and has a grimace on his face

Use the Cottage cheese in smoothies!

What about peanuts?
