    Instead of toast or cereal for breakfast, have yogurt or cottage cheese.

    Instead of a meat/cheese/whatever sandwich, have a meat/cheese/whatever salad and increase the amount of meat/cheese/whatever.

    Instead of potatoes on the side, have a less starchy vegetable. Mushrooms and broccoli are very low carb and have a surprising amount of protein. Any leafy green is great, cauliflower, green beans, aubergine, asparagus, celery.

    Instead of fruit, have nuts and seeds.

    I started following his blog. Do you follow everything to a t or more or less just keeping carbs low protein high?

    I'm trying to do that too! :) I just started P90x, and am loosely following their goal of 50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fats. You can take a look at my diary (just don't pay attention to this past weekend!)
    Your diary is friends-only fyi :).

    Just changed it. Whoops!
