Protein-Forward Meals for Diabetes
Protein-forward meals for diabetes prioritize adequate lean protein each sitting to blunt glucose spikes, support muscle, and reduce evening hunger on type 2 plans.
Protein-forward meals for diabetes lead with twenty to forty grams of lean protein—fish, poultry, tofu, eggs, or legumes—before large starch portions to blunt post-meal glucose rises and improve satiety. Protein supports lean mass when paired with resistance training.
Spread intake across the day instead of loading dinner only.
