Low carb?!?!? I'm having exactly the opposite problem -- since I'm trying to limit calories, I seem to *always* be way low on carbs!!! :frown:

Meat
Cheese
Whey Protein
Baby Spinach - 3:2 Carb:Fiber ratio makes it low carb and my fav veggie for daily salads.
Chicken
Turkey
Tuna
Sausage Links/Patties
Eggs
Fish

---

The huge bulk of my diet is:
Meat Omelet
Cheese snack
Ground Beef in skillet with griller seasoning - then dump it on baby spinach - so easy lunch!
Whey Protein - during workout
Chicken/Turkey/Fish for dinner with Broccoli
Cheese snack before bed

That's a really typical day and has gotten me below 10% body fat while continuing to gain muscle.

Meat and cheese are reasonable for low carb. I ask this question and, as usual, the wonderful people on here answered. check out this website (http://genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html) It seriously made my life so much easier. Its really extreme, but it gives some great ideas about what to do and where to start when counting carbs. Good luck!

I like low fat cottage cheese, tuna, salmon, eggs, chicken, turkey, ham and then veggies. I eat a lot of cauliflower because it does have a potato type consistency. I also have a great tasting protein shake called Elite 12 hr Protein Chocolate Brownie flavor that I bought at the Vitamin Shoppe that is high protein low carb and I used unsweetened Almond milk with it. Blueberries, Rasberries and Strawberries have lower carbs. I will sometimes include a quarter cup of blueberries in my shake.

I base the amount of carbs on a book that I read called Protein Power. I try to keep them at 30 net grams a day some times I go a little over especially if I"m doing hard excercises but they suggest not to go over 50 grams a day. To get net grams you subtract the fiber grams from the carb grams. I also make sure I get enough protein a day. Based on Protein Powers reccomendations I should have at least 69 grams of protein. They told me not to worry about going over but they warned about not getting enough.

Protein Power is an excellent and well researched book! I highly recommend it!
