[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1420570, member: 240838"] Another thing you might look at aside from carbs of course is protein. Many of us notice if we over eat protein in a day, not just a meal but the days worth, our fastings and the whole next day our bs will run higher. If I way over eat it, which is easy to do as I never have more than 2.5 oz per meal, my bs will run high for days. For me, in my best estimation, once my glycogen stores are full it will take days for me to deplete glycogen get back to normal numbers. I'm not built like a brick house so my protein requirements are quite small. Protein and carbs both add to the glycogen pool, fats very little. That's why I do a keto less than 20 c per day, MODERATE protein based on my ideal body weight (.8-1g per kg of ideal body mass) and just enough fat to satisfy. It's all very complex finding the right balance. [/QUOTE]
