[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1278459, member: 240838"] I bolus for protein. I generally follow the Bernstein plan of bolusing for half my protein. I do eat a few (5) carbs per meal. HOWEVER, I do not eat high protein. Anything more than 3 oz and I need to split boluses. Lchf is not high protein. You only need and use a certain amount of protein and anything above that can turn to bs or body fat. Guidelines are about .8-1 g per kg of LEAN body mass. Most people only need 4-6 oz a day. Lowering carbs and exchanging them for healthy fats as well as keeping protein in the moderate range should help you lose a few pounds. As far as when to bolus or correct, that will be up to your meter. I have no clue what your meals, carbs or boluses are right now. I assume you know your carb ratio? Timing your bolus will matter too. I bolus 1/2 unit for 2 oz protein, a few veggies (5 carbs) , 1/4 avocado and some olive oil. Of course, weight, activity, gender, insulin resistance etc all have different effects on us. [/QUOTE]
