Jamie Oliver actually is a big proponent behind the eating healthy movement. I take a lot of inspiration from his cook books, minus the olive oil. I agree.

The Atkins Diet made everyone think that protein is very important. Our body's naturally run on fruit sugars (that's why the raw food diet works) and carbohydrates. When a person goes on the Atkins Diet they starve themselves of Carbs and Sugar, which forces their body to burn fat. Also the Atkins diet is full of foods that raise the amount of Human Growth Hormone produced in the body by the pituitary gland. HGH also helps your body to burn fat. I don't however think that the Atkin's diet is healthy, or a diet that can be maintained for life. The amount of cholesterol, fat and salt you take in is dangerous. Secondly, your body starves for natural fruit sugars and carbohydrates until you breakdown and start to eat them. Then the diet is over and you put on the weight again. Now with your body overwhelmed with cholesterol, fat and salt. After reading 14 nutrition books this is the diet that seemed to make sense to me. I strictly avoid throwing my body into starvation mode. I don't restrict my self from those foods my body easily digests: Natural Sugars, Carbohydrates and foods rich in Dietary Fiber. I think that is why I keep losing weight consistantly while lowering my cholesterol and blood pressure (to maintain a healthy heart). So don't worry too much about protein. I was as you saw in the article 248 in October and now as of today 204 (January 20, 2010). If their is more info you want on the diet just ask. I want this to be a diet anyone can follow and a diet plan that doesn't try and sell anything or push supplements. I wouldn’t worry to much about the protein side of the diet.

I looked into the Mott's Applesauce. There is 2.4 g of protein in a 100 calorie container not 24. Thanks for pointing that out. Because of my error I'll give you 10 protein packed foods, with low calories. 1. Better n Eggs, Morningstar: 20 Calories + 5 Grams of Protein 2. Scramblers, Morningstar: 100 Calories + 8 Grams of Protein 3. Marmite, Yeast Extract: 9 Calories + 2 Grams of Protein 4. Boneless Skinless Chicken Tenderloins, Tyson: 100 Calories + 22 Grams of Protein 5. Orange Roughy: 89 Calories + 19.3 Grams of Protein 6. Tuna, Yellowfin, Wild: 118 Calories + 25.5 Grams of Protein 7. Turkey Tenders, Freshdirect: 130 Calories + 28 Grams of Protein 8. Mozzarella, Nonfat, Kraft: 168 Calories + 36 Grams of Protein 9. Albacore Tuna, in Water, Bumble Bee: 140 Calories + 30 Grams of Protein I hope that helps with the diet. I welcome any other comments on the Diet Nutritional Plan. I've lost 45 pounds so far, after 3 months. You can do it to. Thanks for your comment. I looked into the Mott’s Applesauce. There is 2.4 g of protein in a 100 calorie container not 24.

Thanks for posting the info, but how do you come up with your protein count for applesauce? None of Mott's applesauces have ANY protein per their website and here's one I found for the one you cited....showing zero protein.
