REMEMBER, CALORIES DO COUNT!

Remember, calories do count. There is a lot more to diabetic eating than eliminating or cutting back on sugar! Make it your goal to eat 3 meals daily that are around 400 calories each and 2 snacks, 1 in the morning and 1 mid-afternoon, of around 100-200 calories each. That is 1400 to 1600 calories a day. If you need more or less calories adjust proportionally. Do I do this everyday? The answer is no. But it is a goal that I often accomplish. Check out this handy chart of calories and protein items. Not all protein comes from meat!
