| I do not take insulin, but being on diet control, I've learned to watch my carb intake. For me, 60 carbs in the morning is way too much. Even 17 carbs during the day is too much. And 100 to 150 at night, I cannot even phathom. I've tried having oatmeal for breakfast, but found that though oatmeal is good for lowering cholesterol, it does contain sugar and your BG will go up in points. For me, a bowl of oatmeal would make me go up about 30 points in BG. I would change that Honey Bunches of Oats if you can to something with less carbs. Secondly, your protein shake has 17 carbs. I would try and find a protein shake with less carbs as well. As for where you work, I would bring my own food, since that way you can control the carb intake, as well as the salt and sugar that is added in. I found sugar free Jello to be zero carbs and a great source of protein. Also eggs, fried, boiled or scramble is completely protein and has zero carbs. Fish is a great source of protein as well and has zero carbs, however some seafood have sugar in them like scallops. I'm not saying to cut out carbs altogether, but just limit the intake. Even if you have to half the bowl of honey of oats.
Hope this helps. |
