The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

Yeah, I'd be around 40 grams.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

As opposed to zero.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

And some of it would be fiber.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

And in almonds, it's even worse.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

It would take, to be equal to one ounce of chicken breast, you'd have to eat three full ounces of almonds.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

And that's in the neighborhood of, you know, 100 almonds per

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

I mean, they're volumes that you can't deal with easily.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

So hopefully one of the things that will come out of it is that the way we look at these equivalents will change.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

And so that's all based on amino acids, that they're not equivalent.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

Just because it says it's protein, it's not really protein.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

All proteins aren't equal.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

And animal proteins tend to have about what we would, you know, essential amino acids, non-essential.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

Animal proteins are around 50% essential amino acids.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

Plant proteins are around 35%.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

So they just have a lot less of them.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

So you have to eat more total protein.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

Yeah, my concern about that 10% is that it has really been used and certainly been used by a lot of the food industry to demonize foods.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

An egg, for example, has very little saturated fat, about 1.5 grams, but it's 19%, and so therefore it would be deemed unhealthy.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

2% milk is almost 20% saturated fat, but it has very little in it.

The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Protein First: How the New Dietary Guidelines Shift Nutrition

Meats can be very low.
