“You can also add healthy carbohydrates and fats and together they can regulate your blood sugar.
“Some carbohydrates, including those without fiber, will increase your blood sugar and when this happens you may feel a little tired or sluggish as soon as the peak collapses.
“Protein does not significantly affect blood sugar levels, so its consumption will not increase your blood sugar and subsequently lead to energy accidents.”
He added that protein will help stabilize blood sugar when eating a high-carbohydrate breakfast like a bowl of cereal.

“This effect can improve your energy levels with a constant flow of energy.”
