I have been eating low glycemic carbs for breakfast and lunch to help boost my serotonin levels. Now I am wondering if there is any corrolation between low glycemic index foods and tryptophan. What sort of carbs have high levels of tryptophan? Does anyone know of a reference chart?

Would like some examples of low glycemic carbs, please.
Sounds like a good approach!
Thanks in advance!!!
