Yeah, I'd be around 40 grams.
As opposed to zero.
And some of it would be fiber.
And in almonds, it's even worse.
It would take, to be equal to one ounce of chicken breast, you'd have to eat three full ounces of almonds.
And that's in the neighborhood of, you know, 100 almonds per
I mean, they're volumes that you can't deal with easily.
So hopefully one of the things that will come out of it is that the way we look at these equivalents will change.
And so that's all based on amino acids, that they're not equivalent.
Just because it says it's protein, it's not really protein.
All proteins aren't equal.
And animal proteins tend to have about what we would, you know, essential amino acids, non-essential.
Animal proteins are around 50% essential amino acids.
Plant proteins are around 35%.
So they just have a lot less of them.
So you have to eat more total protein.
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.
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.
2% milk is almost 20% saturated fat, but it has very little in it.
Meats can be very low.
