I just wanted to know if there's any food out there that's low in carbs/fat but high in protein?

    Lots of foods. Chicken is 85% protein, 15% fat and no room left in there for Carbs.

    Protein powder but do your research first, some are better than others. Cottage cheese, greek yogurt, fish, especially fish.

    Edit: The 5oz of fish I had for dinner had 133 cals, 0 carbs, 3 fat, and 26 protein.

    I like 99/1 extra lean ground turkey. It's almost pure protein. A 1.25 pound package yields 130g protein, 0g carbs, and maybe 4g of fat, if that.

    Remember, fat =/= fat in your body. Naturally occurring fats can be excellent for you (especially the omega3s in fatty fish).

    Agreed, kangaroo is the business. Normal mince literally pales in comparison (not just because kanga is leaner... but beef is paler in colour). I know, I crack myself up too. :D
