Ever wondered what nutritionists actually recommend for protein and fiber? In this laugh-out-loud food guessing game, we challenge each other to identify the top protein and fiber sources while sharing practical nutrition wisdom you can actually use.

The protein showdown reveals some expected champions (lean beef and chicken breast) alongside surprising contenders like pasta and peanut butter. We break down exactly how much protein you get per serving and why these foods earned their place on dietitians' recommendation lists. Our friendly competition uncovers why salmon deserves more credit, cottage cheese is trending everywhere, and lentils might be the most underappreciated nutritional powerhouse in your pantry.

When we pivot to fiber-rich foods of India, things get truly fascinating. From jackfruit (a surprisingly versatile meat alternative) to guava (the protein champion of fruits), we explore culturally diverse nutrition sources that most Western diets overlook. The conversation flows naturally between serious nutrition facts and playful banter, making complex food science both accessible and entertaining.

Beyond the games, you'll discover practical nutrition hacks that can transform your everyday eating. Learn why high-fiber wraps offer an easy nutrition boost, how blending red lentils into pasta sauce adds protein and fiber without changing the flavor profile, and why diversity in your diet matters more than chasing single "superfood" solutions. We even tackle controversial topics like sodium intake, challenging conventional wisdom about what nutritional factors most people should prioritize.

Whether you're looking to optimize your protein intake, find new fiber sources, or simply enjoy a food-focused conversation that doesn't take itself too seriously, this episode delivers nutrition information you can actually use in your daily life. Join us for a meal of knowledge, served with a healthy side of laughter!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast where I
ask Rob to guess what drink I'mopening.
Just by the sound of it.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
All right, it's Take it in figure it out.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Is it Code Red?
No, you're never going to guessit.
It's V8.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh, I was never going to guess that.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
No, you would never guess that I'm telling you
lately I've been getting into it.
It says two and a half servingsof vegetables in this can right
here.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I know a lot of people don't like it.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I grew up like my mom was like vegetarian for a long
time.
She was trying to get mehealthy and shit you know all
that good stuff, and so she waslike V8, that's like veggies and
whatnot, and I just kind ofgrew up with it and I really
it's got three grams of fiberand it's only what 60 calories.
Oh, 10 grams of sugar.

(00:46):
Oh no, it's almost likevegetables have sugar in them
and you know like and I knowpeople always say like the
sodium and whatnot, like, yeah,it fucking does have 900
milligrams of sodium, which islike half of what you need in a
day.
I get it.
I tried the low sodium one.
It's awful, it's so bad I can't.

(01:06):
I can't do it Like I listen itbalanced right, a little bit of
sodium, but like also vegetables, right and fiber.
So you got to find that middleground and the middle ground.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
For me, the thing with sodium is I'd rather tell
people exercise more instead ofworry about your sodium intakes
that much, unless you've gotheart conditions, of course.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
That's the thing is with sodium.
People are always like, whydon't you talk about it?
It's like it's so important.
I think we've talked about itbefore as person to person.
If you have high blood pressure, if you have, you know, heart
disease and these things, thenyes, it's much more important
for you to watch your sodiumintake Absolutely.
For you to watch your sodiumintake Absolutely, Like the DASH
diet is meant for people with,like a history of heart disease
and it's meant to lower sodium,along with other things, of
course, and like I get it.

(01:48):
But for your average person whodoesn't have those things, if
you're exercising, drinkingenough fluids, also getting your
potassium, like that sort ofthing, it's not out of all the
things, right, Like I.
Just I'm less concerned withthat than people not getting
enough fiber, not exercisingenough and not eating enough
fruits and vegetables and allthese things.
So it's just like you've got topick your battles, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, but speaking of protein and fiber, I believe
we've got some top 10 lists thatwe can go over.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh, that's what we were doing Right, right before
this.
That's right, we didn't have aguest, so we were immediately
trying to think of what we coulddo.
Oh shit, my wife is opening thegarage.
That's loud as fuck.
Okay, it's okay, at least damndoes that sound like the train
that goes by, when you, when youhave trains that go, by,
because it sounds so loud it'slike right below me, damn.
All right.
I found this list of the top 10uh, top 10, top 8 protein best

(02:39):
high protein foods, according toa dietician, so that's
important.
By eating well, okay it's byeating.
Well, I picked this becausenormally I eat.
I eating shitly.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
So I eat importantly.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
So I like to learn how to eat well Before we even
get started.
It has a little calculator.
Okay, rob, how old are?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
you Well, I'm not supposed to say that on street.
Don't ask a lady her age.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Fine, I'll guess 70.
Listen, Don't ask a lady herage.
Fine, I'll guess 70?
.
Listen, I know you're only likea little bit older than me, but
I remember exact number it's 41.
41?
I thought you were only a fewyears older.
Damn, how old am I?
I'm 30.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I was born in 91, but it hasn't been my birthday yet.
Math 33?
I don't remember.
How much do you weigh, but notin kilograms.
Okay, I don't know.
I only have pounds here.
This is the problem.
All right, well, I guess I canmultiply it.
What's your weight?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
in kilograms.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Because then it's 2.2 , right 2.2 pounds per kilogram.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, it's 2.2.
So what's your kilograms?
But I'll make it easy on youit's 185 pounds.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
That's about what I weigh, I think.
What did I checklist?
I think I was like 189, likeI'm usually like the one high,
high 180s.
Yeah, like I 180s.
Are you pregnant orbreastfeeding?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
yes, I mean both pregnant and breastfeeding.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, your protein's gonna need to be higher, okay,
uh, and then how active are you?
Sed, sedentary light activity,moderate or very?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
active.
Oh God, I guess lately it'smore moderate.
Let's go moderate.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
You need 117 grams of protein per day, according to
this protein calculator.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
That doesn't sound too far off.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I mean, that's pretty .
Like you know, we've been likerecommending people like 0.7 to
1 gram per pound of body weight,you know.
So that seems to be pretty onpar there.
I'm trying to think of how muchI thought it would be lower
because, like, the, the fd, the,the rda for like protein is
only like 50 grams of likeprotein.

(04:38):
I'm like that's pretty low,like could you get by with that,
I'm sure for most people, butlike probably beneficial to go
up a little bit from there forlike a lot of folks that doesn't
take age into account, rightalso doesn't take age into
account older people definitely.
You know protein a little bit.
It's a good idea.
Oakley came back from theswimming pool so she's uh crying

(05:00):
.
She probably gonna need to getchanged out of her wet wet
clothes.
Who likes that?
I don't.
It's awful.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's not fun, right.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, okay, so I have eight foods here yes, eight
foods and I want you, and thenwe're going to do what you might
call it.
What's that show with SteveHarvey?
Family Feud.
But it's just one person.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
That's what it's called, all right.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I got eight things on the board Everybody gets to
play along Le Pam family.
What do you got?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's still closer than most people get Le Pam.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Le Pam sounds fun.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
La Pam Show me shrimp .

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Shrimp, that's an interesting one.
No, shrimp, actually what?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
No shrimp yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Shrimp's a good.
Yeah, shrimp's a good.
That is a good.
Shrimp is mostly protein, right, Like shrimp has very little
fat.
Shrimp's a really good one.
That, I think, is likeunderrated.
It has cholesterol.
That's why I always see likeit's got cholesterol.
It's like dietary cholesterol.
I mean for some people incertain situations.
Yeah, you might need to watchout for that, for for most
people that has pretty minimalimpact on your, your blood

(06:07):
cholesterol.
Yeah, uh, okay.
Well, you got one strikeanother one.
Why don't you go with?

Speaker 2 (06:13):
like the classic.
What is the one that it'salways on the list?
Oh well, it's probably made byan american, so we gotta go with
beef on there.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Okay, so lean beef is number one.
Yes, lean beef is number one 22grams of protein, a three ounce
serving of 93% lean man.
But 93, like the price on thatdefinitely gets high, like I
don't know what the averageprice of like 80, 20 is.
But then it goes up from thereto like 93 and you can be you
can talk like decent money forlike a pound of that.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
But like if you and you can talk decent money for a
pound of that.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, it's definitely not the most economical choice.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I guess if you get 16 ounces right for let's just say
it's like $10 or something,which is probably not even that
high you're getting a bunch ofservings, which is only three
ounces and 22 grams of protein,so you're actually getting a
total amount of protein quite abit, I guess.
So price per gram isn't too bad, but yeah I guess.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
So all right, give me another one.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Bad but not amazing, but not amazing, it's not like
beans or something.
But then if you need like moreprotein per calorie, right, like
you don't want to spendcalories, then like, yeah, I get
it.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Then you want like a leaner protein um, I mean,
salmon has to be on there, right?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Salmon is number three.
Good job it is.
I probably wouldn't haveguessed salmon on the list.
To be honest, I probablywouldn't have guessed because I
don't know.
I feel like they would havegone tuna or something, but this
one seems to be more likehealthy eating.
So well, maybe not.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm guessing tuna isn't on the list, then Tuna is
not on the list.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
I'm going to give you that one.
This is the only, that's theonly seafood.
That is the only seafood.
Actually, really Weird, yeah, Ithink not tilapia or no, really
interesting, but 19 grams ofprotein per three ounce serving,
which, yeah, like salmon, hasmore fat, but like you know,
it's I mean it's like healthyfats and shit, Like it's good
for you, Eat your salmon.

(08:03):
People are like, oh, you got toget your wild caught salmon.
Fuck.
That Pisses me off, Like whenthey're just like you got to be
wild caught, Otherwise sea liceyeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why Americans are sounhealthy they're eating too
much farm raised salmon.
You nailed it, fucked OK, soyou got you.
You have two already out ofeight, so that's pretty good.

(08:23):
That's pretty good.
If you can get to four of thesewithout three strikes, I'd say
that's pretty impressive.
I'm going back and forth on ifvenison would be on there.
American, this is a beverage byan American, I'm just saying
that, so like just throwing thatone out there.
So cheeseburgers, cheeseburgersNumber cheeseburgers, number

(08:45):
actually, that's well.
Lean beef was already numberone, it's number zero.
No cheeseburgers or venison.
I'm just going to give that toyou.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
It's not on the list, man no seafood, no venison,
nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
God is there, probably Come on, there's one,
that's first always well, thething I say first always is
usually a fish not you, though,but what do people like?
When you ask someone what hasprotein, what are they going to
say you're playing family feud,not what does rob lapham?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
think oh god, peanut butter, peanut butter is
actually on the list.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, that's not what I was going for, but you
actually got it.
I'm surprised.
I would not have said peanutbutter either.
Like it is, because, justbecause people give a shit for
having too many calories, right,it's like it's 180 or 190
calories, depending per serving,and you only get seven, seven
grams of protein per twotablespoons and so like, oh,
it's so many calories, it's afat source.
Like I get it.

(09:40):
Yeah, it's a fat, it's a fatit's more fat.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
It has more fats than it has protein, but still like
seven grams, that adds up, thatadds up.
So, yes, I, I like peanutbutter.
Okay, give me another one.
What do people always say, comeon, bro.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
If everybody listening is yelling at me like
come on, yes, chicken, yes, it'schicken thank god, oh my
goodness, I was waiting forchicken, chicken's number two,
that's always people whenever Isee like people ask protein,
like, oh, chicken, alwayschicken, uh, 27 grams per three
ounce serving.
Now I'm sure that's breast,because, uh, you know, like, uh,
uh, thighs are going to behigher in fat and therefore less

(10:16):
, have less protein.
They are tastier, though theydefinitely are tastier when you
put the fat in there.
Chicken breasts, man, let metell you, when I was in my like
peak fitness, like influencer,like stage, you know, I was
trying to do all those things.
I would just cook six chickenbreasts like in the oven, and I
wasn't good at cooking, so Iwould just over bake the shit

(10:36):
out of it and it was super dry,so I didn't want to add any
calories to it though, so Iwould just eat it with mustard,
and that's literally all I woulddo like out of the fridge, just
like dip, cold chicken andmustard, and eat it and like it
worked, but it wasn't like thetastiest thing ever.
It was filling.
It was filling all right, I'mimpressed.
You got four with only onestrike.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm I'm I'm impressed if you could get better than
thought I did yeah, no, you didbetter.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
If the next, I mean if there on.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
There is turkey on there as well.
No, turkey is not on there, I'mnot going to take a strike from
you.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, that is.
I'm going to give you anotherhint.
That is it for meat.
That is it.
There's no more animals, butthere are animal products.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh, so like yogurt.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yogurt's not on here.
All right, I'm taking a strikefrom you for that, but I'm
surprised because I think yogurtshould be on here.
Yeah, why is not there's?
There's yogurt's friend, sortof friend.
Oh, it's on here.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
What your?

Speaker 1 (11:38):
sort of friend, yogurt's sort of friend.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Or sort of friend.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yogurt's, yogurt's friend or sort of friend.
Yogurts, yogurts um what'strending right now?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
yes, it's go.
Of course it's always cottagecheese.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh, my friend, yeah, I know I really have to lean
into it with videos like even Idon't like.
I like cottage cheese, I justdon't want it to be in cookie
dough and fucking ice cream,damn man.
Uh.
But yeah, 12 grams per half cup.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
And then there's cheese on there, but not yogurt.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, I'm surprised.
Okay, so there's only threeleft.
What's another one?
People always say Chicken, andthere's another one that you
always see.
I'll give you a hint.
There's a fitness influencerthat eats like 30 of these a day
30?
.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, wait.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
At least 12.
I think it's 12.
You've covered it many times,but it's not meat.
It's not meat, it's an animalproduct.
You've covered this gentlemanmany times before and he eats
like 12 of these a day, and he'sall about it.
We have a nickname.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Eggs.
Eggs, eggie, eggie-a-mew I'mthinking egg or animal product
that's not meat that we've gotEggs.
Animal product that's not meatthat we've got Eggs.
Eggs yeah, Something that'sexpensive down there right now.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, it's come back a little bit in price, but yeah,
they still are expensive.
Six grams.
So there's two left and I don'tthink you'd probably pick
either one of these.
I doubt you'd get them One.
Let me give you a hint.
Italy would really like this,Would be a fan of thisaly would
be a fan of this number six.

(13:08):
So some kind of pasta.
Pasta is correct.
That is just pasta.
I didn't think.
Yeah, I didn't.
I didn't think pasta would be onhere because I think they
probably picked this becausemost people don't think of it
like when it comes to protein.
You know, like pasta has eightgrams of protein per one cup
cooked and like you can get likeobviously the other pastas that

(13:29):
are a little bit more like thebarilla plus protein, doesn't
have that much more protein.
I think it only has two moregrams or three more grams, um,
so it has like 10 grams perserving but still like 10 grams
is that that adds up.
Like you have that with anotherprotein source.
You know you're getting in adecent amount of protein.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
And it does have more fiber.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, exactly, you can put whatever else in there.
Put some cottage cheese inthere, blend it up.
And the last one is a legume,but not beans.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, we already had peanut butter on there.
Yeah, it's not peanuts.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Name a legume other than beans Peas no Three strikes
, you lose butter on there.
Yeah, it's not peanuts.
Name a legume other than beanspeas no three strikes, you lose
over.
I now my turn.
Lentils was what I was lookingfor.
Lentils, uh, 18 grams per onecup cooked, I'll tell you people
don't like.
You know, like I hate lentils.
I'm like I get it because theway most people eat lentils or
had lentils is like just notgreat, like it's just there on a

(14:24):
plate, right, um, like indianlike.
If you look up indian recipes,they definitely do it justice.
I think the just not great.
It's just there on a plate.
If you look up Indian recipes,they definitely do it justice.
I think the best.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
But if you're just looking for a lazy way, I would
just say it's funny that youmention Indian recipes, because
what I've got for you is the top10 fiber-rich foods in India.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh, in India, In India, that's interesting,
that's a curveball.
I like it though, uh.
But anyway, I was just saying,mix your lentils with beef or
whatever you use, like you do,like half beef and half lentils,
and then you make, uh, you know, like whatever your ground beef
and just eat like that orburger, or whatever it is like.
You can just add it with things.
That's what's so nice.
You can get a can of it.
It's already cooked and wedon't even have to cook it if

(15:06):
you don't want to.
And this can's like a dollar ortwo and you get four ish
servings.
That's pretty good.
So I, I, I like lentils.
All right, um boy, howdy thetop, I would say top 10.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
There's 10 there's 10 fiber rich foods in india.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Well, I have to guess lentils.
Obviously Am I guessingspecific lentils like red
lentils.
No, lentils is number one.
I mean, obviously, what elsecould it possibly be Lentils?
Because lentils have about thesame amount of fiber as they do
protein, right?
Isn't it like so per cup?
I know it's like it said 18grams of protein.
I think it's around 18 grams offiber as they do protein, right

(15:46):
, isn't it like per so per cup?
I know it's like it would sayit said 18 grams of protein.
I think it's around 18 grams offiber as well, maybe 20, but
like, let's just again.
It's just.
That's why I love legumes, man.
They're so cheap, they'repretty versatile and you get
protein and fiber.
So like people get you know, um, laugh, because I'm like, I'm
always pushing them, but I'mlike just, they got so many
things going for them and peopleare like, oh, I don't like the

(16:07):
taste.
It's like you could do otherthings.
One of my favorites people arealways like what?
I saw this from Yummy ToddlerFood.
She has a TikTok and Instagram.
Definitely recommend her,especially if you have kids, but
she blends red lentils, cookedred lentils, so you do have to.
So what she does is she cooksred lentils in a microwave with

(16:27):
water.
So like you rinse them, you putthem in water and you microwave
them for like a few minutes andyou'll see when red lentils are
cooked.
They open up, you'll see.
You can tell when they're.
You can also just try tastingthem and then you blend those
into a pasta sauce.
That's it, like a red sauce.
You just put that in in um withyour pasta more protein, more
fiber, and it took you of likefour minutes, like three, and

(16:50):
like you just sit there in themicrowave for most of it.
So lentils are just soversatile and and fucking dirt
cheap and it's the best, yes,the best um.
So I had to be number one.
I'm assuming beans are alsogoing to be on there, or do I
have to get specific?
Do I have to?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
ask do I have?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
to say specific beans , I'm I'm losing my connection.
Well, that explains that.
Yeah, okay, can you all?

Speaker 2 (17:11):
right, I think I hear you know as beans on their
technical difficulties yeah, younailed that first one so good
that your internet was just likeI get and end of episode.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Don't be your worst.
Um, yeah, beans, right, so?
Or do I have to say chickpeas,or like black beans, or what am
I saying?
Chickpeas, yes, okay, chickpeas.
So are there other beans on thelist?
Because there's got to be otherones.
If they're saying chickpeas, Ilove chickpeas.
No, no, no.
How high were they when theywrote this?

(17:42):
All right, how high were theywhen they wrote this?
All right, yeah, I mean, I lovechickpeas.
I just made them for like arecipe.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Chickpeas are number two.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Okay, that's gotta be which, again, what like seven
grams of fiber per serving-ishsomewhere around there anyway.
And again, versatile you canmake your own hummus.
It's kind of a pain in the ass,so I usually just buy the like
hummus packets I.
You can just buy the hummuspackets.
I like to buy the hummus in theindividual packets.
You can get it at Costco orsomething and then you can dip

(18:08):
vegetables in there if you want,or naan, or whatever it is.
That's a great way.
But also I've been making otherones, like the cookie doughs
with chickpeas.
There's a little bit of thechickpea flavor, but I think
it's good enough to warranttrying to see if you like it.
So, yeah, chickpeas, okay, um,I gotta.
I mean, uh, india does eat alot of peas as well, so I would

(18:33):
guess that Yep Number nine,number nine, all right Cause
he's have four grams of I thinkit's like four or five grams of
fiber per serving, which againunderrated man.
Like just I buy them frozen.
I hate canned peas, god, I hatecanned peas.
For me they're just so gross.
But uh, frozen ones, you throwthem in at the end of like

(18:53):
cooking some pasta or something.
Yeah, you just it there's againby big bag, super cheap and
like you get fiber and a littlebit of protein as well, because
they're actually a legume.
People think they're avegetable, which they kind of
act like a vegetable.
You can treat them as avegetable.
They're green, but they aretechnically a legume.
Um, okay, peas, lentils, I'm,it's like a whole wheat thing.

(19:17):
So some is.
Do I have to be more?
Uh, specifically like wholewheat, whole wheat.
I was just gonna say like wholewheat.
So just whole wheat, anything.
Yep, whole wheat.
That's number three that'snumber three.
Okay, yeah, I mean that makes itbecause you can do whole wheat
pasta, whole wheat breads, wholewheat, uh, breakfast cereals,
whatever and it's definitely agood source of um, like

(19:40):
insoluble fiber, which you knowI people ask like what do I do?
Do I have to get more of this?
That I'm like I just eat fiber.
You don't really have to focuson it too much.
But like it's insoluble, it'sjust like that adds bulk to your
stool and that sort of and thatsort of thing.
It doesn't have like as many ofthe benefits.
Like soluble fiber helps youwith like cholesterol and your
blood sugar and that sort ofthing, but like insoluble fiber
definitely helps.
You want, you want both of themand wheat is definitely more

(20:03):
insoluble.
What else a v8 is v8 on thelist?
Everybody in india is just likechugging v8.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
That'd be great okay, it's quite on the list, but so
do they do I mean I'm assumingdo they pick a specific
vegetable?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
I'm assuming they pick a specific vegetable, right
like there's a specificvegetable?
What vegetable is india eatingmore of?
I know they cook with onions alot.
I don't feel like that has aton of fiber but like what
vegetable is India eating moreof?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I know they cook with onions a lot.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
I don't feel like that has a ton of fiber but like
, yeah, that's not going to be agood fiber option, is it?
Yeah, I mean it has somethere's.
There's fiber in onions andgarlic.
Technically, they use a lot ofonions and garlic.
Spices Is spices on the list.
India uses a lot of spices.
They use enough spice to theirfiber, yeah, but a vegetable,

(20:52):
fuck.
Um, I'm gonna guess what do?
They have a lot of tomatoeswhich is technically a vegetable
, which is, I'm gonna say, is avegetable tomatoes.
Final guess no, okay what's thevegetable?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
tell me, the vegetable is carrots, carrots
interesting.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
I mean I get a lot of like I don't get a lot of.
I don't think when I orderedlike indian food, I don't think
I get a lot of carrots.
I mean sure, like our indianlisteners are like screaming
like carrots are in so manydifferent indian indian foods,
like sorry, I don't know.
But yeah, I mean I can Ipicture them.
I mean sure, like our Indianlisteners are like screaming
like carrots are in so manydifferent Indian foods.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm sorry, I don't know, but yeah, I mean, I
picture them in a curry.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
In a curry, for sure, definitely you can blend them
up once you cook them.
You know that sort of thing.
So I could definitely see it.
They add flavor.
They don't add a ton of fiber.
I remember I did like how many?
I was like what's 10 grams offiber look like?
And I did it with carrots andit was a lot of carrots.
I was like, man, this is a lotlike the carrots don't have as
much fiber as I thought they did, I think per serving.

(21:53):
Yeah, I had only had like twograms like fiber in one serving
of carrots.
Uh, two grams, yeah, that'swhat I thought.
Two, two to two and a halfgrams of of fiber.
So like that's, I guess it onlyhas 25.
That's why they're low on thelist, right, so that's, that's,
they only have 25 calories.

(22:13):
All right, all right, all right.
Is there a fruit?
Do they have a fruit on thelist?
There's multiple fruits.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
There's multiple fruits but yeah, I'll give you a
hint.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
One of them I fucking hate bananas are on the list in
India.
Well, I guess bananas are justeverywhere.
Right, Bananas are justeverywhere.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
So that makes sense.
They're cheap.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Bananas number six, Number six.
Listen, I get the texture andthings like that, but so it's
just the flavor you don't likealso.
So if you have like banana in asmoothie, you're immediately
like get out of here.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
I yeah, I don't like the.
It's a perfect blend of textureand taste.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
That I do not like yeah, I mean, I get it, we all
got shit.
We don't like um, but yeah,that's like what?
Three grams of fiber per um,per like banana, which isn't
like a ton.
But hey, like it's just easy tograb a banana and here at least
, they're like 50, 60 cents apound.
Like I'm always amazed when Iput on a giant stack of bananas

(23:09):
and then it's like a dollar 90and I'm just like I bought so
many bananas, though like I gotlike 12 bananas and they're like
, yeah, that's less than twobucks.
Like, okay, man, I need to getmore bananas.
And then you kind of look intowhy bananas are so cheap and
then you get sad.
But like we're not, we don'tneed to go there.
So there's multiple fruits.

(23:30):
You said right, yep.
So I'm going to guess like justsome common fruits, because I
said bananas, apples.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I'm going to go the other way.
Don't go common, don't gocommon.
Crab apples Don't go common.
Fuji's Un't go common, don't gocommon.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Crab apples Don't go common Fuji's Uncommon fruits.
Dragon fruit no Fuck, I thoughtI had it with dragon fruit.
I thought I was in with passionfruit.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Does India cook with dragon fruit?
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
But it's a rare fruit .
I think it's more of an EastAsian thingian thing than it is
a, uh, indian asian, west westasian thing.
Yeah, that makes sense words.
Um so no dragon fruit, no, uh,no passion fruit either, nope,
so, but still uncommon, stilluncommon, goji berries.

(24:22):
No, no, but that's a good guessacai berries not necessarily for
the the thing, but I like Ijust came out of left field I
just bought some goji berriesfrom an asian market, like for
dried ones, dried goji berriesand it was only like seven or
eight bucks for a big thing ofthem.
So like I think that's, if yougo to like asian markets man,

(24:42):
you find some good shit there.
To like asian markets man, youfind some good shit there.
Um, what else could I more butmore uncommon?
Is there a berry?
Blackberries, blueberries,raspberries, strawberries all
the no berries get out of herewith this berry hate.
Okay, blackberries, raspberrieshave like eight grams of fiber
per cup.
Come on, I guess indians arejust not eating berries Kiwis.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Kiwi, kiwi, kiwi.
I think you've gone a littletoo far.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Kiwi.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Gold kiwis.
Gold kiwis To the other side ofthe globe.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Sun kiwis.
I don't know what fruitsthey're eating a lot of in.
India.
I don't know what other weirdfruits are there.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
One of them has fruit in the name Durian, durian,
durian.
Actually I'm surprised.
Durian probably should be onthis list damn man.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Not even durian, I guess again more east asian, but
I'm sure durian made its way toindia um, it just might be the
I don't know.
And for those that don't know,durian is known as the stinky
fruit or like the death fruit.
Like it's, it apparently smellslike rotting flesh.
I've never actually opened likea durian.
You can't bring it on likecertain subways and like public
transportation because it smellsso bad, but like apparently

(25:54):
it's good.
Oh, what's uh?
Oh, it's like, so like India islike seitan on the list or
something like that, or like oneof the like meat, alternative
type things like tofu or tempeh.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
No, really, but there's a grain that's on the
list.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh, a grain.
So probably not brown rice,right, like they usually use
white rice in India.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Brown rice says you don't have that much fiber.
No, that's specific.
Oh rice, I mean rice would be agreat guess if it had fiber in
it.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
But yeah, I mean, no, it doesn't really have that
much fiber.
Farro, that's my favoriteFarro's.
But uh, yeah, I know it doesn'treally have that much fiber.
Faro, that's my favorite faro's.
The fucking best wheat, uh,barley barley, uh, um, what's
the other one?
Kamut, guessing all the weird,all the weird bulgar wheat,
bulgar millets, millets, and Iwas getting there, okay, millet.
I'm still stuck on what fruitsindia is what?

(26:49):
Weird, like, what're?
So they're more like obscurefruits Starfruit, starfruit, no
Mango.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Mango, there's uh getting closer, getting closer,
You're saying getting closer anda question mark.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
So I I don't feel like I am.
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Three fruits and I don't actually know.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Three fruits, well enough.
Yep, there's three fruits um Ialready said, dragon, what the
what, the fuck, what, what, what, what, what?
I don't know how many more.
I mean, I know there's a lotmore fruits, but like okay, so
one of them is, uh, one ofthem's.
Paul saladino brings on planes,oh, coconuts yeah I guess, yeah,

(27:27):
I didn't really think aboutcoconut.
And right, india does use a lotof coconut milk.
Do they also eat?
Cook with the listeners?
Let us know, does india, like,use a lot of, like actual
coconut, like, do they shavecoconuts and like use coconut
like um?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
flakes or whatever.
Again, I see the throwing it ina curry but like yeah I see
that.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I just always see coconut milk, which just coconut
milk, doesn't have the fiber.
And it doesn't.
Maybe it has a bit but it can'thave that much.
But, like dried coconut,definitely has fiber.
Ok, so it is a tropical.
Are they all tropical?
Are the other two tropicalfruits?

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yes, All tropical fruits.
It's almost like they're inthat tropical climate.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, I guessed a bunch of tropical fruits, ok, I
guess like passion fruit andmango and pineapple and like all
of these.
Uh, buddha's hand is buddha'shand on the list, like one of
the rarest fruits ever.
But see me with this list.
I don't know buddha's hand isnot on the list, not unless it's
by a different name.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I guess kiwi, right, so no kiwi.
You did in fact guess kiwi, andno, there was no kiwi.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
No kiwi, no, I'm at a loss for like what other
fucking tropical fruits, is itone of those like weird, what
are those?
Like kumquats, kumquats.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
No.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
No, okay.
Well, I'm trying to go weird.
I'm trying to go like weird,like sort of semi-tropical.
I've personally never had thesefruits, so I don't know how to
hint anything for you.
All right, give me the fuckingfirst letter of the name.
Give me something, forgive me.
Give me a letter.
Damn, I need to play hangman.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
I mean reverse hangman okay, so the one that
had fruit in the name.
The first letter of it is j uhoh yikuma, no, no, yicama's not
a fruit.
Why do I think yicama's a fruit?
Also, yicama doesn't have fruitin the name.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh, it has fruit in the name.
Okay, yeah, yicama's good,though, by the way, just
throwing that out there andyicama does have fiber, so we
should be eating more yicama.
But it has J and it a juicyfruit, it's just.
Is it juicy fruit, or is thatwhere everyone's getting all
their fucking juicy?

Speaker 2 (29:35):
fruit that's juicy fruit, delicious.
It is so close, I guess, yeahlisten it's a fruit.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
You can't say I didn't hit the fucking
stipulations, you got this yougot um one.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Well, now the other letter is right in there.
There's a c in there jackfruitjackfruit yes there, it is okay
jackfruit.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, you know I was thinking of meat alternative and
that's one that didn't come tomind.
I was like satan jackfruit,because jackfruit's used a lot
in like like meat alternativethings.
If you've never seen it, theysell it canned or they sell it
like it's like in the meatalternative section with like
the the faux deli meat sort ofthings and it's interesting
right I could go either way.

(30:17):
I did like a jackfruit recipefor uh, thanksgiving when I was
like I'm gonna try and not dolike a turkey, you know.
So I did the jackfruit thingwasn't a huge fan.
It's weird because, like,you're trying to make it not
sweet but it's a fruit, so itkind of has its own sweetness.
So you really have to work atit.
I'm sure in the hands ofsomeone who's adept at it you
could make it really good, but Ididn't do great with it.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
But yeah, okay, just give me the other one.
What the hell's the hell?
And the last thing you'remissing is guava.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Guava.
I always forget about guava.
Damn, that's when I just yeah,I never, I never think about
guava until people say it.
Um, I remember I was like itwas on a list of like it was
funny.
We're talking about protein.
Like the fruit with the mostprotein is guava.
Guava has the most protein ofany fruit, I believe, because
it's got like three or fourgrams of, like protein per

(31:03):
serving or something, whichisn't a lot.
But, like in fruits, you don'texpect them to have any
impressive for fruit, right?
So, yeah, that was so.
Get your fiber and get yourprotein, have some guava.
I just don't see guava it'sdefinitely more of a south
american thing.
I feel like like, and I'm surelike mex, well, mexico's digging
out south america, but likethat whole central america,
south america, you know, I'msure there's a lot more guava

(31:25):
okay is there anything else onthe list?

Speaker 2 (31:27):
I mean, okay, I'm, I'm surprised I was.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Well, he threw me with the fucking indian thing.
I was gonna be like chia seedsand like all these other ones
I'm like, well, damn now I gotlike nothing on that extreme
wellness tortilla wraps.
Is that on?

Speaker 2 (31:42):
the list.
Do the little toaster uh packthing where you do the fiber
wrap of the toaster to fiber,make the little pizzas or
whatever that's.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Whenever like I get thanked, probably like not the
most, but like one of the mostthings is is telling people
about the high fiber wraps.
It's like I had no idea andthese things taste so similar to
the regular wraps and they haveso much fiber.
I'm just like it's such an easyhack.
But then I always get thequestion like can I get all my
fiber from it?
And I'm like I you can, butlike I wouldn't recommend it.

(32:15):
Like you should probably tryand get some soluble fiber as
well, because the high fiberwraps use modified wheat starch,
which is going to be mostly insoluble fiber.
So it'd be, it'd be good, likeI understand.
Like some of those missionwraps have like 30 grams of
fiber and that's like what youneed in a day.
Can I have one of these?
I'm just like technically youcould.

(32:35):
But, man, let's try and get alittle diversity there and have
some I don't know guava orBuddha's hand.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, having the diversity of we eat many things.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
That's the thing, man .
It's like you're always justlike oh, what's the healthiest
thing?
it's like all these things,diversity, just like getting a
bunch of different things thatreally is it but I feel like
that's the problem because then,like, you have these greens
powders that pop up and they'relike we have everything in here
and you're like, yeah, you havea fucking milligram of
everything.
Like that's not doing anything,yeah, you know.

(33:07):
So, yeah, just get it like yourfood, try and eat adverse.
But then also it's difficultbecause you have all the foods
that you like and like.
I totally feel that and I'meating like avocado with tomato
on toast, like most days, or apeanut butter and jelly sandwich
.
So, like I, you find you findthe foods that you like.
It's just like.
Also, when you can try it, tryit.
So maybe, maybe, try some newthings and say, like you know,

(33:30):
if you, if there's somethingelse you can kind of work into
your diet.
That's why I eat this V8.
It's got tomatoes, carrots,celery beets, parsley, lettuce,
watercress.
Bro watercress is like one ofthe most nutrient-dense foods
out there, oh watercress, thereyou go.
Watercress, spinach, and thenit's got citric acid, so it's
got mold Perfect.

(33:53):
And then it's got citric acid,so it's got mold Perfect.
You're hitting everything.
Beta carotene they just addbeta carotene.
That's interesting, I don'tknow why.
Oh, it's good, though.
I'm finished right now Done.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
So the lesson here is eat more guava, have a V8.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
This could be a weird meal.
You're going to drink your V8.
You're going to eat your guavaand you're going to have lentils
head bolts.
So you have lentils, guava andV8.
Enjoy everyone.
Have a delicious breakfast.
I don't know when you have this, it doesn't matter, and don't
be your worst.
