Here's the truth. Protein is one of our most useful tools when it comes to a weight loss diet. Because as you'll discover in this video, not only does it help our body build muscle which in turn boosts our metabolism, it also keeps us full longer than both carbs and fats.
So in this quick guide, we're going to cover what protein is, how much of it you should eat for weight loss, and what the best food sources are for protein in a weight loss diet.
Protein for Weight Loss: Understanding the Basics (0:37)
Protein is one of the 3 main macronutrients (proteins, carbs, and fats). Per gram, protein has roughly 4 calories (fat has 9), and as mentioned before, protein creates the best sense of fullness even though it has fewer calories. A useful trait for a weight loss diet.
Protein for Weight Loss: What's the Daily Target? (1:42)
Protein is made up of core amino acids that our cells use to repair, grow and carry out important functions. But how much does your body need? From helping over 10,000 guys lose over 75,000 lbs of fat, we recommend that roughly 35% of your daily calories comes from protein.
Here's a free calorie calculator to help you find your daily target:

For example, the protein target for a 200lb guy would be around 150-175gs of protein per day. Divided up over 3 meals and 1 snack, as we recommend in our 30 day weight loss program linked below, that's around 40-50gs of protein per meal.
