[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1491230, member: 240838"] Not ridiculous at all. Your question that is. 12 eggs without the yolk is haha. If your in the U.K. Your measurements are different so I'll do my best to explain. It took me awhile to get it. If I were to put my food on a food scale it would weigh 5 ounces. Figuring the average grams of pure protein per oz of animal/ fish protein is about 7 g per ounce. So 7 g times 5 oz is 35 g actual pure protein. I choose to stick to the .8 g per kg lean body mass. I'm 120 pounds(54kg) so that's means 43g protein. I get 35 from animal/ fish and the rest from veg avocado nuts and a small chunk of cheese with my evening cocktail before dinner. Here's my meal plan which I stick to the same macros at each meal ( not the same foods though) and I know my insulin dose for each Bf at around 8 am recently is a piece of organic deli chx or turkey ( 4-6 G protein depending on which or .8 oz) with an ounce or so of avocado smashed in it and 3 steamed asparagus spears. I take 1/2 unit or one depending on fasting Then an hour later another half or one. Usually one and then half or vice versa. It stops my morning rise. Lunch around noon is 1.5 oz (12g) protein, more avocado and some veggies. One unit. 3 o'clock is a small snack like 1/2 egg and a scoop of avocado and some asparagus. 1/2 unit. 5:30 is a little cheese melted with a little butter. No insulin Dinner 6:30-7 is 2-2.5 oz (14-18g protein) some more avocado and veggies. 1 unit I often also use mayo on my proteins where desired. Snacks are the cheese and a few macadamia, pecan or pumpkin seeds. Recently I upped insulin at lunch as my cpeptide is horrid lol and I only take 2 units lantus so it's gone by morning. The 1/2 units covered my food but I would start going upwards after 2.5 hours as all insulin is gone by then. Hoping the one unit doesn't lower me and will last a bit longer. At the end of the day I'm 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbs. I do gluconeogenisis quite quickly as I'm so low carb but the addition of avocado with each meal lowers and slowers it. It also keeps me powered and energy throughout the day. Keeps hunger tamed as well. It's magical for me. Hope this helps and I explained right. [/QUOTE]
