⚖️ Carb Balance & Steady Energy Notes
- Roast potato (🍚 carb-heavy) → gives slow-digesting starch, especially when roasted in oil, but needs protein + veg for balance.
- Lamb (🥚 protein-support) → anchors blood sugar and balances the carb load.
- Leek in white sauce (⚖️ balanced) → adds mild cream fat + fibre, slowing digestion.
- Green beans (⚖️ balanced) → provide fibre, further smoothing energy release.
➡️ Combined together, this plate = ⚖️ Balanced GI/GL → steady energy, no sharp spikes or dips.
