[QUOTE="BooJewels, post: 1068174, member: 181094"] Protein converts to glucose, same as carbs, just much more slowly and steadily. I sometimes get a second spike 3 or 4 hours after a meal that can be higher than the conventional post meal rise, if I had something like nuts at the end of the meal, that kick in later. This can be a useful tool in your arsenal for leveling BGs if you fluctuate too much or there will be a gap until you next eat, but it can cause confusion if you don't know about the phenomena. Have a look at this nutritional calculator for low carbing and once you've added your weight, if you want to lose weight or maintain it and carb limit, it will tell you what balance of protein and fat you need to match your stated carb level to achieve those goals.
