BREAKFAST: 2 slices of Arnold Light Whole Wheat Bread with 2 tablespoons of all natural peanut butter *OR* 1 cup of Fiber One cereal with 1/2 cup 1% milk.
(I'll admit that the above meals are not properly linked and balanced but the available breakfast-type proteins that are available don't appeal to me so early in the morning.)
LUNCH: 2 slices of Arnold Light Whole Wheat Bread with peanut butter, egg salad, tuna salad or meat and cheese slices
DINNER: On my plate: half the plate is covered with non-starchy vegetables, 1/4 of plate is my meat/protein, 1/4 of my plate is starch (potato, rice, etc.)
Following this eating plan, my sugars have consistently been between 90 and 100 within two hours after beginning eating. With my poor eating habits, they were usually between 140 and 180. |
