February 10, 2022

The food we eat is made up of 3 macronutrients: carbohydrates, fat and protein. Some foods are a mix of these and some are primarily one macronutrient. People with diabetes are often told to eat more “lean” protein and eat fewer carbohydrates. Here is a list of lean protein, lower (or no) carbohydrate foods:

For a quick and filling higher protein lower carb snack:

1. Stir 1/4 cup whey protein powder into 5 ounces of Greek yogurt.
2. Top it with 1/4 cup berries and 2 tablespoons granola.

Some of my favorite Greek yogurt options are Siggi’s Nonfat Icelandic yogurt, Siggi’s plant based yogurt, Silk Non-dairy Greek Yogurt, Oikos Triple Zero and Chobani Less Sugar Greek yogurt.
