Cutting the carbs

Hi there,

There are plenty of high protein foods to replace carbs out there, all you have to do is a little bit of research. I really struggled to cut bread, rice & pasta completely myself, I just did a bit of research and tried healthier alternatives i.e. Instead of white rice, try wholemeal long grain brown rice or quinoa. Instead of using flour, try blending natural rolled oats and use that when baking. Instead of potatoes, why not try sweet potatoes. Don't forget to eat plenty of greens such as broccoli & spinach as well as fruits.

I normally prepare my meals ahead of time (breakfast, morning snack, lunch, pre work out meal etc.) so that I won't have to worry about what I am going to have during the day at work. This way you'll avoid pitfalls of random, thoughtless eating/ snacking. Your body will thank you for it and you will feel fuller for longer.

Eggs- 6g protein,
Dairy products such as: milk 8-24g per cup protein, cheese 32g protein, cottage cheese 10-12g protein, yoghurt 13-20g protein
Legumes- 12-18g protein (chickpeas, lentils & black beans)
Red Meat- 21.5- 24.8g protein
White Meat 17-36.8g (chicken/ turkey)
Fish- 18-32g protein (Tuna/ salmon)
Seeds & nuts- 15.5- 28.5g protein (almonds,peanuts, sunflower seeds, pepitas,flaxseeds and the list goes on!)
Protein Powder- comes in all different flavours and you can blend it with frozen mixed berries or a banana with a dollop of greek yoghurt and stevia. Voila! you have yourelf a protein smoothie!

There may be plenty more I have missed but this list is what my diet consists of. I hope it helps and good luck!
