    Feel free to check out my diary for the past month or so as I'm doing Insanity where the nutrition plan is 40%/40%/20%. I am to get it pretty close on most days. Cottage Cheese and Protein Shakes tend to be the ultimate equalizer to make it work. I do try to plan and enter my meals either the day before or 1st thing in the morning so I know where to make adjustments. One of the other easier methods is to have a salad as one of your meals w/ Protein which will generally be very low carb.

    Hope that helps.

    Protein helps burn off fat. I was recommended to eat 80 grams per day on a 1200 calorie diet!!

    ^This!

    I've been making chicken breasts and a peanut sauce that's mostly peanut butter with a little soy sauce and maple syrup to dip it in and make it taste better. I love Trader Joes's "just a handful of almonds" because they are portioned out and I can easily keep them with me for a snack. Also, I make a lot of greek yogurt smoothies with frozen fruit and a little milk. I can't eat bananas, but I heard greek yogurt with peanut butter and bananas is good. I also like mixing canned, rinsed and drained, warmed black beans with some salsa for a tasty, quick snack. And I've been working hard at eating eggs or yogurt at breakfast. I found I can microwave eggs in a big ceramic bowl at work and they come out like a fluffy omelet (because the bottom of the bowl is big and pretty flat - you need the sides because it swells up when cooking) and then sometimes I put a little feta and make like an omelet.

    I love fish but don't like cooking it, so I mostly get my protein from chicken or beans

    Tuna, Eggs, lean meat and chicken, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and lower fat cheese. My macros are 40/30/30 which I find manageable and I try to eat most of my carbs in the morning and afternoon and hardly any in the evening to give me energy for the day.

    1 Egg + 3 egg whites with some cheese and spinach mixed in there makes for a nice low cal, high protein meal .. you can add in some lean meat too if you want to up it or change it up a bit. I'm not an egg white fan but having the 1 Egg totally takes away the nasty of the whites by themselves .. and you get a bunch of extra protein for almost nothing (45-50 cals and 12 or so grams of Protein).

    protein shakes, chicken breasts (cheap, little fat), red meat (i eat a pound of 93/7 beef everyday), tuna (cheap, no fat), cottage cheese (cheap, low fat), greek yogurt (little expensive, has carbs)

    everyday i eat:
    - 1 pound of 93/7 beef
    - 2 whey shakes in water, 2 scoops each shake
    - 4 cups of 1% milk
    - 1, sometimes 2 fiber bars
    - 1 cup of oatmeal

    thats about 2000 cals right there with very good sources of protein and carbs. this was my main cutting diet and will be the staple of my bulking diet
