Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks for checking my ratios Bee, Is there a way to get more carbs other than vegetables? After 3 cups of steamed vegetables I just don't want any more. The 3 cups only give me 32 grams of carbs, and I need 56. Protein is easy to meat because of all the eggs :-) (in fact I have to have less meat than I used to). Elyse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can get more carbs by eating more meat, but it is a more expensive way to get it. 58% of protein turns into carbs/glucose in the body.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 OK, then I won't worry about the carbs (I'm not underweight). If I'm hungry is it ok to have more protein then? I thought we were to try and keep as close to the ratios as we can, are they more of a rough guide?

The most important thing is to eat the correct amount of good fats. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
