Carbs too high on vegitarian diet

I'm trying to go vegitarian, (fish only for protein) and I am finding that my my carb numbers are higher on MFP. I have been trying to do the carb cycling also. What I want to know is can you lose weight with those numbers being higher than. I am over 50. Any information anyone can gvie me is appreciated.

How are you doing on overall calories?

vegetable ARE carbs if thats all you eat then of course your carb numbers are going to be very high, but at least theyre complex carbs I guess

Being vegetarian and carbs cycling is almost impossible and personally don't see much point carb cycling anyway. Eat more fish and other protein sources like yogurt for example, if your allowed that is.

eggs and cottage cheese have saved my life on getting more protein. I'm still a carb *kitten*, though.:frown:

Under on calories. Is that good or bad?

Sorry. I don't know why I thought vegitarians ate fish just not red meat and poultry. I stand corrected. Just remembered it's vegans that eat no meat products whatsoever. So, I guess I am doing a vegetable, fruit and fish diet.

Add me as a friend I'm veggie, with fish on occasion, and on my good days I have carbs under control! (as in...the days where I don't go crazy with chocolate!) x

pescetarian -- I did it for a while -- you are going to go up on carbs -- I did and now I'm back to eating grilled chicken to avoid that

I also find this very hard as I am vegetarian and don't really eat fish very often either. Should one stick to the individual food group limits or the overall daily calorie allowance???

This is why when someone says "I'm a vegetarian", people ask if they eat fish. Then the vegetarians get offended because of course they don't. Fish are not vegetables.

Ugh.

Traditional vegetarians eat no meat. Vegans eat/wear no animal products whatsoever.

When I was vegetarian I had problems getting enough protein, getting to many carbs, and the estrogens from so much soy affected my hormones. I'd never be vegetarian again.

pescatarian is the term I believe she is looking for instead of Vegitarian
