Suggested Meal Plan for A Hypoglycemia Diet |
Meat List |
Each serving of meat and substitutes on this list contains about 7 grams of protein. The amount of fat and number of calories varies, depending on what kind of meat, or substitute you choose. The list is divided into three parts based on the amount of fat and calories: lean meat, medium-fat meat, and high-fat meat. You are encouraged to use more lean and medium-fat meat, poultry, and fish in your meal plan. This will help decrease your risk of heart disease. The items from the high-fat group are high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories. You should limit your choices from the high-fat group to three (3) times per week. Meat and substitutes do not contribute any fiber to your meal plan. |
