Is it good to consume "high protein" foods?

In this video you will learn whether it is good to build your diet on "high protein" foods and how to create these foods at home. Our guest as always will be Robert Humpál, the main face of the Supertrener.cz project!

High protein products.

High protein products such as protein bars, drinks or puddings are becoming increasingly popular. People often buy them in order to increase their protein intake, which can be important for example for athletes or people trying to lose weight. The packaging of these products often states that they are high in protein. This is true, but it is important to note that this does not mean that these products contain as much protein as one might think.

How is the protein content determined?

Protein content is determined using a formula:

• Protein content [g] = (weight of product [g] * protein content of product [g/100 g]) / 100

For example, a 50 g protein bar containing 20 g of protein has a protein content of 40%. This means that 40% of the weight of the bar is protein.

Comparison with traditional foods

If we compare the protein content of high-protein products with traditional foods, we find that these products do not contain as much protein as we might think.

For example, 100g of chicken contains about 25g of protein, 100g of tofu contains about 8g of protein and 100g of milk contains about 3.5g of protein.
