breakfast. Give that some carbs must be eaten, what and when, are best please? |

Some carbs is a lot different than a lot of carbs. If you're carbed controled for weight loss, it won't make that much difference, especially if you're anywhere near 20 g. It certainly can't hurt to spread them over the day, either. I think it's possible to make things too complex and convoluted to end up with a plan you can follow easily. Obviously, most of your carbs should come from non-starchy veggies and low-sugar fruits. |

It is just that I have read here that protein is best in the mornings; so which food is the best for the rest of the day? |

I don't recall that anyone judged that, except that out of the macronutrients 1) Alcohol 2) Fat 3) Carbohydrates 4) Protein on a low carb diet, strike out Carbs. So you have left: A) Alcohol b) Fat c) Protein Which would you pick to be the dominant macronutrient for breakfast. Perhaps a warm alcohol drink with melted butter? In reality no carbs MUST be eaten. I suppose you could say that the "best" carbs to eat are those foods with maximum fiber and minimum carbs and high nutrient content for vitamins and those phyto things. This is 'best' because you get to eat more and it is potentially better for you. |

Don't be afraid to have lunch for breakfast, or dinner for lunch, or breakfast for dinner. On low carb, you can get away from preconceptions of what to eat when. Still, I usually have a couple eggs and some pork or beef for breakfast. |

I do understand that carbs are not the best thing anyway, but (I think it might have been Jackie) that protein should always be taken for breakfast. Thank you for your kind response O |

Thank you for your kind response If you are a diabetic, then eating your carbs in the am will have a great affect on your blood glucose levels, for sure. In that case, if you are going to be eating enough carbs to impact your BG, then it is best to do so later in the day. How many carbs one can handle in the am without driving BG up to damaging levels depends on the person. One can learn by simply paying attention to what's eaten and testing with a BG meter. |
