Probably want to be a bit more specific here. Ultimately protein is protein regardless of the source. Protein from meat vs veg makes no difference.Animal proteins are the most nutrient dense, chickpeas and legumes and other plant proteins are nowhere near as nutritious, and would also be adding to carb levels, definitely something to avoid for any diabetic - Type 1 or 2 or even pre-diabetic. Despite what many diabetic associations say.
Ok, I got side tracked .... I'll just leave it there.
Anyhow, this topic is one that would require many pages of text to discuss.
I recently swapped from MyFitnessPal to a new app called MacroFactor, highly recommend all that are interested in healthy eating/getting shredded to give it a go.
It’s not just for people serious about fitness either, in fact the less you know about nutritious eating and fitness, the more valuable these tools are.
If you want to truly get your health under control then there’s no substitute to daily weigh ins and tracking what you eat. Doesn’t need to be perfect either, just consistent.
I train about 5 days per week and am currently at 11% body fat thanks to keeping on top of my food. Many just don’t realise how many calories are in a glass of milk or a slice of white bread, it’s way more than people intuit.
