Lunch session
part 2
 |
| Yes, I had pancakes for lunch. They look good don't they? Let's break this down, before lunch I checked my glucose and it read 73mg/dL. It explains why I was feeling a bit hungry, that's a little too close to being under the limit. No worries though, this meal consists of 2 small pancakes a little less than 4 inches in width. that equals up to about 30 carbs. Here is where it gets tricky, I have to take account for the syrup I used on my pancakes. Since I don't have light sugar free syrup here with me, I can only use about a tablespoon of syrup. I used Mrs. Buttersworth and that's 53 carbohydrates per 1/4 of a cup. I only used 1 tablespoon so whats 1 tablespoon worth? After the math, it's about 7 carbs, this is why sugar free syrup is much better. 7 carbs for 1 table spoon of syrup is ridiculous! Then I had about an ounce of sliced honey ham which is 3 carbs. So to break it down to simpler terms, That is equal to 30+7=37... |
 I bet these are the greenest grapes you've ever seen. |
I also had a cup of sugar free juice(cranberry by Langers) which equaled to 8 carbs, so that's 37+8, are you still with me? =45 carbs, and finally calculate the large 6 grapes I had. They say 15 small grapes are equal to about 15 carbs, but I had about half of that so I am saying 8 carbs. In total my lunch came out to 53 carbohydrates! That's about the same as my lunch. I try to keep them in the same range so I'm not under or over eating, and may cause my body to act differently.2 Hours later...Snack: Banana |
I only had half of this Banana, which I stated earlier in my breakfast, it's 15 carbohydrates. I also checked my glucose level before this banana and it was 133mg/dL! :)
Lunch worked out for me, why not try pancakes? But, make sure you use sugar free syrup instead of regular unhealthy syrup like I did!
