- What's up, everyone.
It's Chris Heria and today I'm with my homegirl
- Mel G.
- Mel, are you hungry today?
- I'm starving. - Awesome.
You guys already know the benefits of protein
from building muscle to recovery and cell repair
but today we're gonna find out which protein
tastes the best.
- I'm really scared for this. I don't know why.
I just feel a little weird, but let's do it.
- Hey, big risks, big rewards, baby.
Let's bring out the first dish.
- All right, this is good. - Green beans.
- This is actually edamame.
Okay, edamame actually has a lot of protein.
- So it has a really high nutritional profile.
And they're slam packed with protein.
- Yeah. - But how do they taste?
- It tastes good.
I always like them plain. - Oh okay.
- It's actually a really good like appetizer,
you wanna hit your macros and stuff like that.
- What are the macros on the Eda-mommys?
- [Man] So half a cup of Edamame has 90 calories,
nine grams of proteins, 10 grams of carbs
and like two grams of fat.
- Did we eat half a cup? - Yes we did.
- That's pretty good actually.
But for real, this is just an appetizer,
(bowls clinking)
barely hit the spot. This tickled.
(bowls sliding)
- [Chris] Next dish. - [Mel] Next.
- What type a packaging is that?
That looks like chicken skewers
- [Mel] Tofu.
- [Chris] Oh, okay.
- [Mel] Which is basically another vegetarian supplement
- We're vegetarians today.
- So I guess I'll do this one.
- [Chris] Oh, that's the tofu.
- [Mel] Oh, that's the tofu. Okay cool.
- [Chris] Shall we take a taste test?
- Cheers (laughing)
- Slimy...
Yet satisfying. - But it's different.
- Yeah. So let me tell you the macros here,
4.5 grams of total fat, total carbs only three grams.
Then you have nine grams of protein, which is really good.
- I actually grew up on tofu.
- My grandma would cook it like all the time,
every day. - Really?
- Or she would make like this type of like
Miso soup thing too that would also go with it.
It was called Juk.
- But that's good.
I don't know what that layer is,
but come on publix you coming through.
- Does it beat the eda-mommy?
- Yes.
- All right. So we got a first place right now
Edamame's the second place.
Let's keep this pushing.
- [Mel] Oh my goodness. Oh
- Whoa, beans.
You know what this is?
- [Mel] No, do you?
- [Chris] Yeah, because I made this one time
and a long, long time ago.
- [Mel] Oh really?
- [Chris] It's Tempeh.
This is actually eaten in Indonesia.
- Oh wow.
So I might like it because it's something different.
- This is another vegetarian dish.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's vegan as well, but yeah.
- So it's a beans.
- Yeah. I know it's fermented beans might be soybeans.
- Hmm.
- Taste like exactly like a vegetarian dish with no flavor.
- Yeah.
- I like the the toastiness if it.
It needs little salt or something.
- I Like, I don't know. It's a very interesting...
- It's kind of weird too though.
We're eating fermented soybeans.
So they're kind of like...
- Old.
(laughter)
- All right this is last.
What's the macros on the Tempeh?
- [Man] Three ounce has 190 calories, 19 grams of proteins
11 grams of carbs.
- How much? How many?
- 11 grams of carbs?
- [Man] 19 grams of protein.
- 19 grams per each serving. That's pretty good
- That's actually pretty good.
- [Man] 8 grams of fat.
- That makes it worth just putting, you know
a little seasoning on that and actually eating it.
I hope we're like going eat steak eventually
or something like that.
All right next.
This is a weird preparation from my brother.
Okay. Trick or treat.
- Oh, okay.
- Do you like protein bars?
- It depends
- All of them are like so nasty
but some of them are actually really good.
- Yeah like this is a good fix.
Like if you are trying to lean out and stuff like that
like supplementing your certain choices to really knock
out a sweet tooth
- Like a Twix bar or something kind of tastes like one too.
- Oh, wow.
- This one's actually not bad for like me.
- At all.
Oh my God.
- Normally protein bars just taste like
- Suck.
Honestly. - Yeah exactly.
I'd say this is number one so far
- 190 calories not bad, One bar.
They have something that's called alcohol sugars
which is basically not the best sugar.
- [Chris] Oh yeah that's true
- that you find in some stuff.
- For real, you don't wanna turn into a alcoholic.
- That's so stupid.
If you were not given a (beep) on anything
then you can live your best life and have one of these.
- Some days you gotta live a little bit.
All right. Bring on the food baby. Reveal.
- [Mel] What are those for?
- Oh, they want us to eat it.
Yo no lie.
- [Mel] I never had a raw egg.
- [Chris] All right, Rocky used to do this.
He used to like hype me up to do this.
- Is supposed to be like a man thing,
Like men are supposed to do this,
because it helps you with like a lot of stuff?
- [Chris] Oh this is a woman thing.
- I'm a little nervous.
What about am I gonna get sick?
- I don't think you're gonna get sick.
Oh, to be honest,
I used to do this in the morning when I was younger.
I remember I just did the egg white.
Wait, do we have to do the yolk too?
- Gotta do the whole thing.
- I don't know if I could do that.
All right Three, cheers.
(glass clinks) - Two. Let's get it
(beep)
- I couldn't do it.
- She did it.
- You didn't do it?
- All right you did it, so I'm gonna do it.
- Do it 1, 2, 3, go.
(beep)
- I can't go out like this on my own video.
I'll take out the yellow part.
It's better than nothing.
Actually wasn't that bad.
- Really?
- Yeah.
What's the macros for the egg.
- [Man] One egg has 70 calories, six grams of protein.
One gram of carbs and five gram of fat.
- So if you put three of those in there
that'd be like the craziest shot,
you could ever drink, just gotta get used to that.
- Not for me.
- I know we look like a bunch of wimps right now
because there's probably people that do that every morning.
But hey look, I got a bunch of protein.
All right,
- [Both] next.
- [Mel] Yo. That was rough.
- All right. 3, 2, 1.
- Oh!
- It's a brownie?
- [Mel] It's a steak.
- [Chris] Did this come from a restaurant?
- [Man] It came from a restaurant.
- It did really?
- Okay.
- (mumbles)
- If it was hotter, it'd be better.
It's all right, tastes like roast beef or something.
- Red meat, but
- After that egg
I was really expecting like tomahawk or something.
Um, Yeah. Imma put this at the top of the list.
This is the most normal thing
we've eaten pretty much.
out of everything we ate today is this the best?
- No, I like the bar better.
- Really? And I like this better.
- Really?
- I'm really hungry for real.
- I've definitely have more flavorful steaks.
- The steak is, is not it.
- You were hungry.
- This is gonna determine everything.
- Nah, I'm good.
- Here we go.
- I like, like meat,
like Asian infused with a little bit of Spanish spices.
- oh, where do you get that at?
- Harriet shop.
(laughing)
- What are the macros on this?
- [Man] This has 340 calories.
34 grand protein, zero carbs, 23 grams of fat.
- Oh yeah.
That's gonna be number one for me. Onto the next.
Let it be chicken baby.
- Three, two.
- [Mel] Oh okay. - [Chris] Okay okay.
- Taste, test.
Actually yeah.
- It's pretty good.
I know I gotta get a little factual here.
They're farm raising salmon and it's bad.
And it's arsenic, just like tilapia.
- Oh, shoot.
- I'm not going get too crazy, but now you gotta be
careful with certain salmons if wild salmon or if it's farm.
- Make sure you either catch it yourself
or you know your salmon dealer
because who knows what salmon's laced with.
- Yeah, let's just go catch a salmon.
- All right. What are the macros?
- [Man] six ounces of salmon has 354 calories,
34 grams of protein, zero carbs, 22 gram of fat.
- A lot of calories for piece of meat
- We're making gains today.
All right. You ready for the next one?
This is the last meal, you wanna do the honors?
- It's been a pleasure.
- It's been pleasure.
- Okay.
- Oh my, what the?
- Hell to the no!
We got organic crickets.
I don't know how more organic, you wanna get?
I'm gonna die.
- You can see it's face and it's eyeballs and everything.
- Nah fam I'm good. I'm not doing that.
- Oh my God. Look at that.
- No, I'm not doing that.
- Come zoom into that.
I swear. You can see its whole face.
(yell)
- [Mel] Were you for real?
- I thought it jumped.
- What is wrong with you?
- (scream) stop man.
Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm gonna (beep) freak out. Sorry.
- It has a super strong smell.
Oh my god.
- What, what, what is it?
(yell)
- Those look so crazy.
Look at this.
- Ooh, I gonna throw up.
Stop. Chris stop.
- [Chris] Just look at these.
- [Mel] I can't do it.
I'm literally gonna throw up, I'm gonna throw up.
- These are like so nasty.
(yells)
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I won't do that again. I wont do that again.
- [Both] (scream)
- I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna eat it.
Boom, Jimmy
- [Mel] Jimmy
- This is for you.
- (gagging)
- These things taste weird.
I don't wanna disrespect any culture.
Or anything like that. - Right
- I'm just traumatized because I just don't like bugs,
so your experience could be different.
- We have to try these though.
- Who's we?
- Well, I tried one of these.
You can try one of those.
- I'm not touching that. Okay?
I can't do it. I just really
- Oh, you have to at least hold one in your hand.
Hold one in your hand.
- (screams)
- That just made the whole video right there.
- Oh my God.
- Perfect. We got the thumbnail I researched on
on insect protein and stuff like that.
They're super high in protein.
- Yeah. No, I have heard that they're really, really good.
Really good for you.
The thing is, you know why I'm petrified with these.
They look like bees and I'm not eating them.
- They really look like bees.
It's so crazy.
We got so far to this video to this point,
It'd be a shame not to, not to try one of these.
Here, I'll find you one and you find me one.
How about that?
- That sounds romantic, but I'm not doing it.
That one has like a full head of head.
I can't, I really can't do it guys
- I'm just gonna snatch one.
- All right. I'm only gonna do this for YouTube. All right?
- You heard that you heard that
you definitely have to shout out to Mel
in the comment section
she's doing this for you watching right now.
- What if I threw it in my mouth and wash it down water
like a vitamin
- Easy.
- I don't think I can do this.
- You can do it. So yeah. You ready?
- I'm I'm honestly really nervous.
- Macros on this is 90 calories.
Two grams of carbs.
Wow. Four grams of fat and 13 grams of protein
for one third of a cup.
This is like the healthiest option right here.
- I don't know. I feel like everything is blurry.
I feel very like sweaty. I feel...
- Catch this.
Is that an antenna or is that a leg?
- Oh my God.
- (screams)
I did it.
- She ate a bug.
- I took it.
See it's okay when I don't have the crunch.
I literally threw it in my mouth with a vitamin.
Oh my God. It feels stuck in the back of my throat.
- You straight swallowed it, you have to chew it.
You have to like...
- Hey, that is not in the fine fruit.
- All right.
Oh, that one just moved.
Oh my God.
- (gagging)
- All right, guys,
(beep)
there, you have it.
If there's any other type of protein
that you think we should try, give it a ranking.
I think right now, safe to say the salmon won.
- Catching my breathe after eating that and throwing up.
So I would negative zero. Is that even a number?
- Are you full?
- Yeah. Good.
- Me too.
