Mara. The US recommended dietary allowance for protein is 12%. The standard macrobiotic diet offers exactly the same amount.
It is not protein that stabilizes blood sugar but complex carbohydrates. Complex carbs are poly-sachharides that break down and burn slowing, providing and even release of energy while food is being digested. There are other health authorities
that actually recommend less that 10% protein for optimum health. You may need to eat smaller AMOUNTS of food per sitting and eat a little more FREQUENTLY to stabilize blood sugars.
Good to see you are getting more serious about macro...
I hope this helps.
In peace, Roy
