 Hey there, this is Dr. Gary Pepper. How are you doing today?

 We're going to be

 our highly advanced

 protein calculator today.

 As you know, protein is vital to a healthy diet and particularly if you're very active or on a weight loss program, you're going to need an adequate amount of protein to make sure

 your muscles are getting all the fuel that they need to work properly.



 One of the problems with weight loss, for instance,

 a form of malnutrition.

 Some people call it the Ozempic face

 as you lose weight, you could lose substantial amounts of protein

 in muscle wasting

 in an appearance that is not desirable and also loss of energy and strength.



 So if you look here on our screen today, you'll see that we're at the website CSS diet.com

here in the corner.

The sister website is semagludiet.com.

That's semagludiet.com.

And then you go to the protein calculator and you wind up at this page.



In order to highly individualize a protein recommendation, we need to include certain factors such as the age, your current weight, activity level, and whether or not you're on a weight loss program.

So like for today, we're going to just

up some numbers and see how that works out. So let's take somebody who's 35 years old.

And now here's a little bit of a trick is that we need to use kilograms.



Each kilogram is 2.2 pounds.



So let's say you're about 154 pounds

by 2.2 and you get 70 kilos. So let's put 70 kilos. Now I knew that already. I'm not that good at math. But anyway, the activity level.



Let's say here we have a choice of sedentary, lightly, moderately, very active, extremely active.



So let's say moderately active, which I would suggest would be like walking every day.

And let's say you're trying to lose weight.



So you're going to need extra protein. And now you have to agree here, if you can see here, oops,

thing that this information is for educational purposes only. You need to consult with a health care professional to get actual health care advice, right? So I agree. And let's go and calculate our protein per day.



And that's quick, right? OK. So the recommended daily protein is 137.2 grams. Now nobody's going to be that exact.

anywhere from 130 to 140, for example.

OK. So let's keep going.



And let's say you're a bit older. Let's say you're 65.



about a little heavier?



167 pounds. I happen to know is 80 kilograms. Remember, each kilogram is 2.2 pounds. And your activity level may be not so active sedentary.



But you are still on a weight loss program. So I agree to the conditions. Calculating an intake now at 145.6 grams. So now just estimating 150.



Now that would mean at each meal you should be getting about 50 grams of protein. Or you can take less protein at each meal and have a snack twice a day in the range of 20 grams each time.



So that might take some of the burden of having to

consume so much protein to every meal.

here's something else that's very valuable. Is that you can take the information that you calculate on the free calculator.



And you can make a meal plan, a seven day meal plan for free again by clicking on the Make a Meal Plan button here. Remember, we're at either cssdiet.com or semagludiet.com. Both take you to the same place. So let's make a meal plan.



Okay, hit the meal plan. So welcome to the semagludiet.com or cssdiet. High Protein Meal Plan Calculator.



It's free to use. Fill in the details.



Even provide your own food preferences here.

And

whether you're on a weight loss program or just want to maintain a good weight.

off the, that you agree to the conditions.



And then the meal plan will be emailed to you in one to three days.



Because this is going to take a little bit more work than just a simple calculation. You fill in your name, email, weight, activity level, etc. Agree to the terms and submit. So I think that's a great deal and I hope you agree.



So thanks for tuning in today and I hope you got something out of it.

And keep an eye open for more

and more YouTube videos and podcasts.



And you can check our website, semagludiet.com. We also have another website, metabolism.com,
