LE diet protein & carbs...?

Here's my meal plan for today. I've been seeing on here to not eat protein & carbs together bc carbs crash my blood sugar but the protein keeps it raised for longer times. Most of my meal plans look like this one... All my meals have carbs AND protein... So have I been doing the diet wrong for the last two months?!? I don't know how I'm supposed to only eat protein at one meal & then only carbs. :( Like for example I eat grilled cheese sometimes. Bread is loaded with carbs, but cheese (velveeta) is loaded with protein.... So have I been doing this all wrong?!?

Dont worry about it. Pretty much all foods contain protein and carbs. Just stick to your totals for the day and you will be fine. Also allow yourself to get properly hungry between meals and do the daily 12-16 hour fasting if you can. What atomic means by protein and carbs being eaten together is very large meals such as christmas dinner.

Ok good. Thank you!!

You can eat protein and carbs at meals. That is fine. You have not been doing the diet wrong in any way.

Worrying about protein and carbs is mostly for blue swayers, not pink. Sometimes when people need to eat breakfast (for work reasons) I do have them eat just protein or just carbs, but that is for breakfast eaters only and ONLY at breakfast. It is fine and 100% allowed for pink swayers to eat protein and carbs at meals.

Yes exactly. Some people don't do much in the way of diet (which is fine!) and so I give some guidelines that do not necessaarily apply to others who are stricter on diet, such as not eating superhuge meals - if someone was not doing much on diet, perhaps only going vegetarian without limiting calories much, and they were able to avoid great big meals, that may help their sway. But that has nothing to do with anyone who is stricter.

Thank you atomic! Much appreciated!
