TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE (WAGONEERS)

Today we are going to conduct a test to help Wagoneers develop a better understanding on how to balance their meals. Our test subject... KFC!!!!!



Here we have several selections from this fat pill in a box! Now, before we learned how to balance our meals and stay in fat burning mode, some of us could have put these foods away in one sitting. Let's break it down Wagon style. 
Meal 1: 
1 Serving of Beans (5 Proteins, 14g Carbs) We have to count them here because there are some hidden sugars which makes up the carbs.
1 Original recipe thigh (22g Protein, 5g Carbs)
Total: Approximately 400 calories (27g Protein, 19g Carbs)

Meal 2:
Regular Fries (30g Carbs, 4 Proteins)
1 Original recipe Thigh (22g Protein, 5g Carbs)
Total: Approximately 400 calories (26g Protein, 35g Carbs) The small amount of carbs over 30g will be controlled by the fats in the chicken. Blood sugar remains stable. 

Meal 3:
Original recipe chicken sandwich (21g Carbs, 29 Protein)
Total: Approximatey 400 calories

Meal 4:
1 Serving Beans (5g Protein, 14g Carbs)
1 Original recipe thigh (22g Protein, 5g Carbs)
Total: Approximately 400 Calories (27g Protein, 19g Carbs) Stable blood sugars. 

We used this for an example of eating on the go using the Wagon Plan. Remember, the body will surge large amounts of insulin in the bloodstream if more than 30g of carbohydrates are consumed in one sitting. This causes fat storage of any unused glucose. By balancing the carbs with protein 15:7 Ratio, the pancreas release glucogen which tells fat cells to release stored  triglyceride in order to be converted into glucose (Energy). Remember, there is no such thing as good or bad foods, weight loss is a matter of calorie deficit, stable blood sugar, and total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). Try to mix and match your favorite on the goal foods!

Dam that sure looks finger licking good..

This was helpful....so never more than 30g carbs at a time....and balance it with 14 g of protein if you do.

Absolutely Cricket!  You have the concept, I receive so many message from people who can't grasp it yet thinking I am promoting go out everyday and eat junk. The plan teaches you that even when you are out of options, you can still balance your blood sugars and stay in fat burning mode. Big Hugs!
