But to actually hit 25 grams of protein from that box, you'd eat over 3 bowls, consume 37 grams of sugar, and be hungry again by 10am. That's not a protein food — that's a sugar delivery system with a protein label. 

In this episode, we break down exactly what it takes to get 25 grams of protein from three...

You're not eating junk food. You make decent choices when you do eat. But when you skip breakfast, power through on coffee, and finally eat at 2pm, you're creating glucose volatility that drives your average blood sugar up—and that shows up as a rising A1C.
