The menus in this category are to stimulate ideas based primarily on a carbohydrate type food list. In this previous post, I explained how your metabolic type is determined and the benefits you reap from eating according to your type. If we determine that you’re a Carbohydrate Type, you’ll eat according to this macronutrient breakdown: 50-55% Carbohydrates + 25-30% Protein + 10-15% Fat per meal.
Please adjust according to individual taste preferences and macronutrient needs. Suggestions and ratios may not work for everyone. Be aware of how you feel after each meal. You should have energy, minimal to no cravings, and be satisfied between meals – if you are not, then you need to adjust your ratios or food choices.
Be creative and add foods you enjoy, staying within your macronutrient ratio. It is important to use all natural or organic foods at least 85-90% of the time.
Some of my lunch ideas for Carbohydrate Types:

Your Metabolic Type Diet is easy to follow and I’ll help you every step of the way. Just stick to your Recommended Foods as closely as you can. You do not need to weigh your foods, measure out serving sizes or count calories. Eat according to your appetite. Eat at least three meals a day. Snack if you need to and always try to eat before you get hungry to stabilize your blood sugar. Eat protein and fat with each food intake. Although you can eat any of your foods in any combination, here are some meal suggestions to help get you started. Eat grains and other starches only if required as per your Diet Check Record Sheet reactions.
