You could now consider allowing yourself to have a few of the "unfavorable" carbohydrate choices as part of your total carbohydrare allotment, as outlined in the following example. • Protein (28grams): Chicken (4-6 ounces), beef (4-6 ounces), pork (4-6 ounces), fish (6 ounces), or your favorite protein. • Carbohydrates (27 grams): Favorite vegetables and green salad: Choose 3 units (27 carbohydrate grams) of your favorite vegetable. You may combine several different carbohydrate choices together as long as the total grams of carbohydrate add up to 3 units (27 grams). Example: H cup of pasta or rice plus 1 cup of broccoli. Caution: Don't fall back into the trap of eating too many "unfavorable" high-glycemic carbohydrates. We still want you to choose the "favorable" low-glycemic carbohydrates in the form of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables the majority of the time! MACRONUTRIENT UNITS LISTS The following protein and carbohydrate lists have been provided to help you when creating your customized meal plans. Simply choose your fa- vorite protein and carbohydrate choices. Remember to make your protein choices from the "Best Choice," categories whenever possible. These are the proteins that are lower in fat content. All of the vegetables and fruits in the "Carbohydrate Choices" section have a low glycemic index. This means that they don't cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.
