    I am not following the plan but I did make several of Dr. Oz's Total 10 Protein Bowls. They are really tasty and fit what you are looking for. I liked the Italian, Chinese and Thai Bowls best.

    I'm just wondering why low carb and low fat? Protein and veggies (AKA low carb) is for weight loss, protein and fat is for maintenance, and protein and carbs is for weight gain. To nix the carbs and fat may get results in the short term, but may not last for the long run, and may harm your body more then it helps.

    High protein hmmmm, salmon,cod fish, eggs, steak, hamburg. Every morning I mash one bananna,mix in two eggs, fry in nonstick pan with coconut oil. Add butter and cinnamon. This is what gets me going in the morning. I use coconut flour and also almond butter in my recipes. I try to stay paleo. Bread is my downfall,weakness so to say. Paleo is the best for me,not for everyone. But it keeps me on track. Sweet potatoes are in my recipes also.

    I assume it's similar to how you prepare plantains?

    My fitness coach has given me certain guidelines to follow as far as my carb, fat, and protein intake go. She is trying to teach me how to get the protein I need without having to eat too much fat. I've been meeting my carb and fat requirements(barely) but I can't seem to meet my protein limit without going over my fat limit. It's a learning process at this point, I'm not using protein to put on weight. After I can prove to balance everything then my limits will change.

    That actually sounds pretty interesting.

    Would it be the same if I just dip the banana in the Nutella without roasting? Lol

    Some of these ideas might work - I like the sound of prawns and tomatoes...

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/collections/intermittent_dieting_recipes

    Basically fish, prawns/shrimp, chicken breast (without the skin), low fat cheese or cottage cheese are all good, I think.

    White sauce over a cup of broccoli, half a cup of spinach and a few mushrooms, top with crushed cornflakes and a little reduced fat mature cheddar. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees centigrade for 20 minutes. It's about 250 calories, contains 17 grams of protein and 135% of your daily vitamin C intake. Plus, it's very filling :)

    Also: wheat free pancake mix by blending 2 eggs and 1 banana

    Turkey rolls. I roll turkey lunch meat around green onions, or spread with dijon and spinach and roll up.

    I'm trying to eat lower carbs too. I'm diabetic and eating lower carbs or eating what they call good carbs can keep you from becoming diabetic, from what I understand.

    So many good recipes on pinterest! I brown up hamburger and make taco salads a lot. I also do a lot of grilling. My doctor wants me to eat more salt so I like to marinade my steak in soy sauce...it makes it so deliciously tender!

    Bananas are high in carbs. Just one has 30 grams. Try plain yogurt with some frozen berries and one egg any way you like for a filling high protein, low-carb breakfast.
    Ground turkey and spices like sage, thyme, oregano, browned with a bit of olive oil to go with scrambled eggs in the morning instead of all that processed sausage from the store.
    Broiled tilapia, spinach salad with some pan seared bell peppers and onion, and a couple of tablespoons of guacamole, and exchange the fish for rotisserie chicken. Add steamed veggies as side dish along with the salad
    Tuna casserole on top of fresh spinach. Make the casserole at home with a bit of cheddar cheese, sautéed onions and garlic, salt pepper and sauté some fresh jalapeño for a little spice.

    White sauce? Like Alfredo? Fresh spinach? It sounds amazing...do you have a picture?

    I'm generally more on the higher fat side, but I suppose the salad I had for lunch could be tweaked a bit to be low carb/low fat. I had a taco salad with lean ground beef (made with taco seasoning), cheddar, lettuce, avocado, tomato, crispy tortilla strips and taco sauce. If it was made with turkey and the cheddar and tortilla strips were omitted it could be a decent low carb and fat meal.

    Also the banana/egg pancakes are surprisingly satisfying - though yes banana is higher carb.

    Basically just cook any meal using a low fat protein (chicken breast, pork tenderloin, white fish) and skip on the carby side. So for example, I almost always eat my tagines, chills and curries without rice and my meatloaf with a side of just vegetables. Burgers you can wrap in lettuce.

    As for breakfast: yogurt with berries is always a good way to go, as are omelets. You can use more egg whites and less (or no) yolks to keep the fat down.

    For lunch, I'd say salads and dinner leftovers are the way to go.

    I use ground chicken breast for a lot of things. I make burgers and add jalapenos chopped onions and cilantro in some. Taco seasoning and onions in others, whatever you feel like I've also made meatloaf with it. So good!

    I can't seem to meet my protein limit without going over my fat limit. - MJC

    This is why it is better to get diet information from a dietitian. Nearly all protein sources are bundled with fat, because a lot of the good micro nutrients are bundled in the fat, like the B vitamins. Fat also helps in preserving foods like peanut butter so you can carry them with you.

    You can eliminate the fat from eggs by eating the egg whites only. But then you also lose out in all the vitamins in the egg.

    You can eliminate the fat from peanut butter by buying PB2 from a health food store but again, miss out in all the vitamins.

    Hit the protein targets I say, and stop worrying about the fat. As long as you aren't deep frying your vegetables or drowning your salads in high-fat dressings, the fats will help sustain you.
