I always eat pretty much the same as Venkat K, walnuts, dark chocolate, steak, chicken, salads, soups, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, cheese, eggs, although I wish to eat more like Midnightrider.

Yesterday I started a bikeride @ 7.1 (the mini spikes are steep bridges and head wind).
3 Hours later I ate about 350 grams of cottage cheese, which has 9.45g carbs, 20.5g protein and 30.8g fat.
4 Hours later @6.1 I stopped my bikeride.
After that my glucose increased rather fast, but also fell much faster than usual.

This morning, after I slept like a baby, my FBG was the lowest it has ever been, it only rose to 6.7.
