The slow rise (fat-protein units)
1 large egg (L) of an egg (63 g) carries 5.8 g of fat and 7.7 g of protein, which is 0.8 fat-protein units. That is enough for a slow rise of about 3 hours after the carbohydrate’s own peak. Counted the way the app counts it, at 10 g of carbohydrate per unit, the whole glucose load of the portion is about 9 g.
