[QUOTE="g-man, post: 155783, member: 26399"] My other suggestion would be to get a set of body fat scales, by that I mean a proper one that you stand on like bathroom scales. You need to ensure that you're putting on good quality muscle rather than fat. Cheese will give you lots of protein but be aware it's high in fat too, so go easy on that. To maintain your metabolism at an even rate, try to have 6 smaller meals a day and don't think about the '3 main meals'. You may have heard the term 'grazing' which is exactly what this is. It allows your body to process food more evenly and I've found helps my BG's stay slightly more stable as there isn't a sudden need for a large amount of insulin associated with a 'main meal'. Stay healthy. [/QUOTE]
