Wrong. From Westphal et al., Metabolic response to glucose ingested with
various amounts of protein, Am J Clin Nutr 1990 (62):267-272,
50 grams of protein produce about 4 times less insulin production than 50 grams
of carbohydrate. When you eat 40 grams of protein with 50 grams carbohydrate,
the insulin production is about the same than with 50 grams carbohydrate alone,
but more glucagon is released.
