Did you know???
Did you know that one of the symptoms of low protein in the diet is carb cravings???? Especially if you are craving the carbs at night…it could be a results of not getting enough protein during the day.
Protein has a higher satiety value compared to carbohydrates. When you consume protein-rich foods, they can help you feel fuller for longer and reduce the likelihood of experiencing sudden cravings for carbohydrates or other foods. In contrast, consuming meals or snacks that are predominantly carbohydrate-based can lead to a quicker rise in blood sugar levels followed by a rapid drop, which may trigger cravings for more carbohydrates.
Maintaining a balanced diet that includes an adequate amount of protein, along with healthy fats and carbohydrates, can help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote overall satiety. This balanced approach to nutrition may help reduce the frequency and intensity of carb cravings.
Here is a list of animal and vegetarian protein sources:
Animal Protein Sources:
Chicken | Pork | Milk and Dairy Products(such as Yogurt and cheese) |
Turkey | Fish(such as salmon, tuna, and cod) | Greek Yogurt and Cottage Cheese |
Beef | Eggs | Whey Protein |
Vegetarian Protein Sources:
Beans and legumes(such as lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans) | Tofu | Tempeh |
Edamame | Quinoa | Chia Seeds |
Hemp Seeds | Flaxseeds | Nuts and nut butter(such as almonds, peanuts, and cashews) |
Seeds(such as pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds) | Non-Dairy Greek yogurt | Seitan (wheat gluten) |
These are just a few examples of animal and vegetarian protein sources. There are many more options available, and it's important to choose a variety of protein sources to ensure you're getting a good balance of essential amino acids.
