Again, most low carbers do not eat much more protein than regular

Now you got me confused: if they don't eat more protein, and less carbs
than regular people, where do they get their calories from? Regular to
me
means a 2200 calory diet..


They get more calories from fat, typically.

I don't know what typical low carbers do but I get an increased number of
calories from protien. I have a protien shake daily with 25 grams of
protien made with ff yogurt and occasionally some canteloupe or peanut
butter. I center my diet around lean protien and low glycemic veggies.
Although I am not disciplined enough to count anything including grams of
carbs, I do sometimes enter my food into fitday. It usually shows that less
than 20 percent of calories come from carbs, and 50 percent come from
protien with the remaining coming from fat and alcohol (on the days I drink
wine).
