let's see

breakfast

soy protien 25 gms
yogurt 10
pb 8

snack
egg 12 (?)

Lunch
Chicken wrap 38

Dinner

Cheeseburger 30

That doesn't include any nuts or cheese I snack on during the day and comes
to approx 500 calories from protien which is slightly less than half of what
I take in (around 1100 - 1200) although I am deliberately increasing the
amount of food I am taking in. When I was actively losing weight, the SBD
sort of killed my appetite so there were probably several days each week
that I didn't eat nearly as much as I should have.

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).


So, say, you eat 1500 calories per day (an assumption), that means
that you get 750 calories from protein, that means that you are eating
an equivalent of 1.6 lbs of lean turkey breast! That's a lot of protein
you have to eat... Very impressive.
