This graph shows the effect of different types of foods with the same caloric value on blood sugar levels in the hours after consumption: Carbohydrates: Peak within 1-2 hours of consumption and approximately 90% are converted to glucose, resulting in an insulin response and fat storage. Proteins: Peak 4-5 hours after consumption, and approximately 40% of them are converted to glucose. Fats: They peak 8-9 hours after consumption, and about 10% of them are converted into glucose.
