Some interesting questions have come up on the challenge the number 1 thing I want to make clear is that the grams of fruits and vegetables you are recording and adding up are the actual weight of the fruits and vegetables you eat. For the grams of protein, you are adding up all the grams of protein in all the of the foods you ate, these are two different things, one is how much a food weighs and one is how much protein is in your foods... I am surprised that people have not understood this but it does explain where we are at and how conscious you are of the fuel you are taking in and that is why we are doing this challenge, to hopefully learn something new and build some better habits..
Yes, you should weigh your protein sources but you must understand that 100 Grams of chicken is not 100 grams of protein, there are 30 Grams of protein in 100 grams of chicken (60 in 200 and so on). The same goes for any other food, even your 100 grams of cake probably has about 5 or 6 grams of protein in it and yes those count towards your total too. There are a bunch of examples in the picture above, but I feel like I need to give you a few more examples:
A 50 gram egg contains 6.5 grams of protein.
170 grams of Greek Yogurt contains 17 grams of protein.
100 grams of 90% Lean Ground beef contains 26 grams of protein.
A 240 gram glass of whole milk contains 7.5 grams of protein.
100 grams of steak contains 30 grams of protein.
100 grams of cooked haddock contains 20 grams of protein.
and all of this can be found on packaging, in the chronometer app or by a simple google search...
I hope you're understanding it now, please start paying attention to labels.....
