Experimenting trying to get daily carbs down from 70-110g to below 50g...
Yesterday's meals
BREAKFAST
2 Hi-Lo bread slices carb 10 protein 16
cooked ham carb 0 protein 7
cheese slice Gouda carb 0 protein 6
MORNING SNACK
100g greek yogurt carb 5 protein 4
50g strawberries carb 3 protein 0
LUNCH omelette
bockwurst sausage carb 2 protein 12
3 eggs carb 0 protein 19
50g (small) onion carb 4 protein 0.5 (from usda database)
DINNER
120g new potatoes carb 18 protein 2
2 tbsp mayonnaise carb 4 protein 0
250g boiled chicken meat carb 1 protein 75 Blood Sugar 8.2mmol/L
Day score: carb 47g protein 130g
Usually I have this meal with 120g boiled chicken meat and 1 tbsp mayonnaise and then my blood sugar for dinner is 7.0-7.4, so I expected the same value this time too. But it was 8.2. Thinking back, I have had similar unexpected higher blood sugars 4-5 times during the last 18 months when including a large amount of meat in a meal. Is the cause too much protein?
Comments welcome.
