Ivan, who is a vegan, suggested to John that he should consider changing to a lacto-vegetarian diet since John likes milk so much. Ivan challenged John to calculate the number of grams of protein that John would receive in a day's time if ne consumed 4 cups of low-fat milk, 4 cups of cooked vegetables, and 10 servings of whole grain products Using the Appendix D Diabetic Food Lists and Chapter 2 General Ground Rules for Diabetes and Weight Management Food Lists, help John calculate the number of protein grams in this amount of food. a. 78 grams of protein b. 156 grams of protein C 18 grams of protein d. 60 grams of protein e. 110 grams of protein
