do any of you count how much protein you get in a day. For some stupid reason I'm hung up on protein grams per day. I cannot eat the carbs in legumes, dairy, soy or grains so I cannot be a vegetarian obviously.
Here's the kicker... the last four days I took my 5g of smoked salmon out of my avocado breakfast. MUCH to my surprise all four days not only requires 150% less insulin but one less shot as well. Seriously, the salmon would have fit into a tablespoon probably. I always knew protein raised me but not to that degree. It is worse in the morning and I do weigh it carefully.
Point is, am I the only one that counts protein for the day???
Also does anyone use pea protein powder? I found a very clean one burn hqve read that it can spike bs fast.
Thanks for your help. I sure wish I could eat and digest all the great veggie proteins.
