    Bacon, cheese, ANY meat eas advantedge carb control shakes at Walmart are super good and decently priced. Also muscle milk (a little more than advantedge) has 15 grams of protein and 2 or 3 carbs. Eggs is a huge one. Good luck on your health journey!

    Don't do high protein (low carb) diet, it's bad for your kidneys (kidney stones) and throws the bodies pH into acidic state.

    Thanks for the tip... I'll definitely monitor. However, I'm not doing a high protein, low carb diet. Reviewing my daily macros, I always seem to go over in carbs and not get enough protein. So I just wanted to get an idea of what others are doing. Attempting to find a healthy balance!

    This is an extreme situation or if you already have predisposed condition. High protein, high fat and low carb works just fine. OP eat the whole egg do not discard the yolk, half of the protein is in the yolk along with all of the beneficial micro nutrients of eggs.

    I am starting to do some weight training in the gym so have been told to eat more protein but I know from previous diets that I have done with low or no carbs I find myself lacking in energy. What do you all class as low carbs

    Beef jerky! You can read the nutritional info and find one that has less carbs/sugar.
