Photo below give nutrition information on nuts.
Cashes nuts.
5.3 g of protein on 30g of nuts. I can control the protein intake by measuring the amount of nuts I eat per day.
Peanuts
8.6 g of protein in 30 g of nuts.
Again I can control the amount of protein per day.
The problem that I have is how to check the protein on home cooked food.
sandybrown ,The answer for your question is pretty simple. Find out the right amount that does not spike your BS. Note down the spike and PPBS of the food you want to try and adjust the amount appropriately based on the tests.
In the process of looking for protein intake quantity I found a calculator which can give most if nutrition information on home cooked food. As we are in our 70's we are continue to eat what ever we cooked all there years but do check food items label to avoid free and hidden sugar. At home there is still some confutation on what best to eat at the moment, it id difficult to get some items in the shop or cane be expensive because of the world economic situation. Utility cost, petrol cost and food cost!!!.
Hidden , In my observation, the maximum spike (130-140 mg/dl) is caused by Cashews, when I have more than 100g. Peanuts are the best. 100-200g would not spike your BS beyond 100-110 mg/dL.
60-90 mins spike after food was around 130-140 mg/dL. PPBS settled down around 130 mg/dL.
I don't understand your question Hidden
As part of my learning I found the information below.
"How often should people with diabetes eat nuts?
When it comes to eating nuts, less is more, simply because they are nutritiously dense in calories. A daily serving of nuts should be about ¼ cup of nuts or 2 tablespoons of nut butter. Remember that roasted nuts are often coated with additional oil before roasting which means they contain even more fat. "
We dry roast almonds or soak in water over night are remove the light brown skin and only eat the white soft nuts.
Which ever nut we keep it to 1/4 cup, portion control.
I am confused on some response where arithmetic is involved!!
Adding or dividing.
Why do we need to add the readings, looking for explanation.
That is spike, above base ?? So total is 240 - 260 mg / dl ??
Thank you.
Hi sandybrown ,
To figure out blood sugar conversions from mmol to mg/dl, you multiply a number by 18. Here's an example: 5x18= 90. I hope this helps.
