Which meals made you feel good?  Bad?

Did the big meals make you feel tired and depleted?  Besides glucose,
protein (amino acids) can also induce an insulin response.  In his NHE
book, Faigin states that the sensitivity of induction by protein is 30%
relative to that by glucose (units?).  (Fat induces insulin weakly or not
at all.  So even if you avoid carbohydrates, you can still suffer the
effects of insulin if you eat too much protein in one meal.)  He also
states that the maximum amount of amino acids that can be absorbed in one
meal is 50g (or 60g?).

Then you have the ideas of Ori Hofmekler.  I'll let him speak for himself.
