2400 calorie diabetic diet

Here you have a sample of 2400 calorie diabetic diet meal plan per 1 day for diabetics.
Comments:

On the other meal plans I kept the meat to be very lean. On this one I let you select from the second level which is lean but still not fat.
It doesn't mean you are allowed to exaggerate with the fat meat and the fat milk.
Stay away from the cream, the butter, the ice cream, the French fries, the sauces and all the salad dressings!
Try to select the skim milk and the low fat cheese.
The best meat for you should be the lean meat such as the chicken, the turkey or the fish,
although you can still enjoy a good t-bone steak from time to time. You deserve it.
the best bread for you should be the one which is rich in fibers and made from grains and whole wheat.
This diet contains about 275 grams of carbohydrates.
If you want to reduce the carbohydrates then you can replace 1 serving of bread with meat.
