In this short instructional video, Eric Roberts presents a quick rundown of several common foods, providing the calorie count and protein content for each (eggs, peanut butter, protein powder, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, avocado). He introduces a simple rule of thumb for identifying high‑protein, low‑calorie foods: at least 10 g of protein per 100 calories. He advises viewers to read nutrition labels to verify that foods meet this criterion and promotes a free calorie‑and‑protein calculator linked in his bio for personalized daily targets.
