Description
Probably the highest protein-to-calorie-ratio meal in the collection. Lentils (GI 29) + tuna build an unusual but effective combination — legume carbs anchor blood sugar while tuna pushes protein sky-high. Parsley and lemon provide vitamin C to increase iron absorption from lentils by up to 6×.
