Description

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/706,270, filed Mar. 28, 2022, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/825,628, filed on Mar. 20, 2020, now U.S. Pat. No. 11,318,159, both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The instant disclosure relates generally to health benefiting daily nutrition. More specifically, this disclosure relates to embodiments of daily nutrition with specific formulations of protein, fiber, and fat that are adapted for various health benefits, including but not limited to, blood sugar management, digestive health, and weight management. BACKGROUND Diabetes, a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time, are mostly related to insulin irregularity. The medical community classified two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes results from the pancreas's failure to produce enough insulin due to loss of beta cells. This form was referred to as “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (IDDM) or “juvenile diabetes.” The loss of beta cells is caused by an autoimmune response. The cause of this autoimmune response is unknown. Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. As the disease progresses, a lack of insulin may also develop. This form was referred to as “non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (NIDDM) or “adult-onset diabetes”. The most common cause is a combination of excessive body weight and insufficient exercise. The group of people that can benefit from the embodiments disclosed herein include both types of diabetes patients. Carbohydrates are converted to sugar by the digestive process. Cells absorb this sugar in order to support life. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, is key to the absorption of sugar by the cells. Without this hormone being present, the cells will not absorb the sugar, and will die. The medical community uses a scale of 0 to 540 mg/dl to represent the amount of sugar in the blood. Low blood sugar is considered to be 0-70 mg/dl. Normal blood sugar is considered 70-126 mg/dl. High blood sugar is in the range 126-200 mg/dl. Very high blood sugar is over 200 mg/dl. Below 70 mg/dl is a condition known as very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This is the level at which brain damage and death can occur if immediate action is not taken to correct the situation. At 200 mg/dl and above is a condition known as very high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). As the sugar level approaches 540 mg/dl, brain damage and death can occur if immediate corrective action is not taken. At both ends of the spectrum, very high and very low, a diabetic will go into a coma. To correct a very low blood sugar condition, it is necessary to get sugar into the blood immediately, by ingesting sugar or its equivalent: for example, a high-sugar fruit juice such as orange juice. To correct a very high sugar condition, only insulin can help. Even quick-acting insulin still takes hours to reduce a high sugar condition. It is, therefore, easier to deal with low blood sugar than high blood sugar. Per CDC definition, normal blood sugar levels are between 80 and 130 mg/dl before meal, and less than 180 mg/dl two hours after the start of the meal. Between 180 and over 500 is the territory of the diabetic sufferer. Long-term sugar levels in this range will cause blindness, kidney failure and nerve damage, as well as increasing the risk of heart attacks fourfold. Allowing sugar to go over 180 mg/dl is dangerous because at that point excess sugar will be flushed from the blood, and out through the kidneys with urine. This level of 180 mg/dl is known in medical terms as the “renal threshold” with the word “renal” meaning “kidney”. In other words, the sugar spills from the blood, through the kidney and into the bladder. SUMMARY The instant disclosure relates generally to health benefiting daily nutrition. More specifically, this disclosure relates to embodiments of daily nutrition with specific formulations of protein, fiber, and fat that are adapted for, at least, blood sugar control, digestive health, and weight management. The embodiments provide weight control and blood sugar control by effective management of blood sugar levels within healthy range, improving satiation and satiety, increasing insulin sensitivity, promoting balanced and healthy gut microbiome, and support digestive health. It is noted that all formulations of the daily nutrition disclosed herein can be in the form of food including but not limited to powders, snacks, and drinks, and in the form of supplements including but not limited to capsules and tablets. For example, the daily nutrition disclosed herein can be prepared as packaged powders that can be added to water to make ready-to-drink shakes. In another example, the daily nutrition disclosed herein can be mixed with meals, snacks, treats, etc. In another exam
