Hi !

Im setting up an G.L.A.D. diet plan and so i need to be eating 1350 kcal (30% of daily kcal total) coming from protein daily.

My question is: Does it all have to come from "good protein" (meat/dairy/whey)?.
And if NO, at LEAST how much should be coming from these sources.

The reason i got stuck in my planing is that im having a hard time finding tasty low gi carbs with a high carb/low protein per/100g ratio.

I've ended up with different kinds of legume's that have anywhere from 15-25 protein per/100g. Including these proteins in my daily 1350 kcal
protein requirement would mean a huge chunck of the protein i consumed daily would come from "shitty/less then optimal" protein.

So what do i do?

* Exclude it?, and hit my 1350 kcal from meat's etc. That would also mean i would have to count these proteins as empty kcals or else the 30%p / 40%c / 30%f nutrient ratio would be messed up.
* Change the nutrient ratio to something like 50% protein / 40%c / 10%f ?
* Or just include it and hope that even tho half the protein i eat is "shit", it will be enough for recovery and muscle building.

Appreciate any/all help !!!
