[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1051825, member: 240838"] Anytime, happy to help. Most people only need between 40 -65 g P which is not a lot. I eat about 30 in animal /fish now and about 10 or so in plant and I have no muscle wasting. It is also said that no more than 3 oz at a time. I used to feel like my BS and insulin were bickering even though BS numbers were good I always felt hungry and unbalanced. I used to eat upwards of 100g and thought there was no way I could cut back to that small amount but I am much better for it. Excess protein not only turns to glucose but causes many other not so good issues. We only need enough for maintenance and repair and excess is detrimental. Again 58% of P turns to BS so it is by no means a free food. For instance if I eat 3 oz of fish, that is 21 g P and would turn to 10 carbs (BS). In my case 1 carb raises me about 7 points so that would mean I could go up 70 points for 3 measly ounces of fish and nothing else. Now that is fascinating!There is NO free food for us. Rosedale has a lot of supplement stuff but I skipped that part. I just take Vit D and insulin and better for that too but you make the call. I eat the same way now as T1 as I did as T2.
