I use lots of beans and pulses. Puy lentils are great, cook in stock with chopped onions, celery and carrots and serve with sausages or chops. Quorn sausages are high protein and extremely low fat.
Moroccan chickpeas - tinned tomatoes, tinned chickpeas, garlic, onion, celery, chicken pieces, plenty of paprika and chilli flakes to your taste. Cook on the hob, in the oven or in a slow cooker. |

For a long time Mr here just had chicken marinated the night before and grilled on the George foreman for 4 meals a day with boiled veg on the side and his northern favourite of gravy poured over!  |

I make sweet potato and salmon fish cakes, chicken and chorizo jambalaya with quinoa instead of rice (can take the chorizo out and use prawns), and a turkey burger.
If you want the recipes just yell! |

Eat lots of lean meat followed by a protein shake, don't forget your salad and vegetables, oh, and your vitamin C pills, you'll need them, lol.
Seriously though, don't forget calcium, multi vitamins and essential oils, omega etc,. They're not always healthy these low carb diets, just a little before 3pm for example will do no harm as you'll burn it off and your body will be grateful for it. |

Our bodies don't need carbs. Our brains need a small quantity.
Done properly, there is nothing unhealthy about low carb diets. |

I agree Voluptuous. Our bodies can convert fat and protein into carbs, so as long as we're getting all the nutrients we need, amino acids etc that the body can't synthesise, then we're fine.
Our muscles contain stores of glycogen that will be used until depletion during activity. Then we'll raid the internal larder - we all have some fat inside of us that can be broken down as well as nutrients from recently digested food that's coming into availability. After exercise, our bodies will focus on shifting glycogen back into our muscles.
If you're well hydrated and eating healthily - with all essential nutrients - then you should be fine. Obviously resting is important as well as pacing yourself and your food intake imo. |

Yeah, it's that little bit of caution in me that always advises a little amount of carbs when asked this question. Some don't get it right or know enough and it's that margin where I feel it wise to ere on the side of caution. |

If you have a craving for something sweet you get a protein powder and make a protein mousse for dessert or protein balls for a snack - I roll mine in cocoa or dessicated coconut |

Totally disagree... Read Gary Taubes best seller then see if you can refute what he says...I couldn't so I'm testing it with remarkable results so far.
Refined carbs (bread, pasta etc) are totally unnatural and are the cause of the western obesity problems... We shouldn't be eating it but are bombarded with the stuff...very difficult to avoid.
Anyway, I was a total sceptic until I read his book and it was like a revelation to me (I have a science background...Taubes is a physicist and not a quack)...what he says is irrefutable IMHO and it absolutely works on me... The minor lapses into carbs I have had recently have had bad effects so I'm even more convinced the advice is correct.
Anyway... The other side of the coin so to speak  |

Theres bad carbs and good carbs. Personally speaking and consulting with nutritionists and doctors within the fitness industry I cannot go low carbs but its all about experimenting - what works for one may not work for another. Theres no wrong and right way. Both sides of the coin have their pro's and con's.

I guess so...
It seems that the current advice of low fat , carbs etc was based on very flawed testing done in the 1950s...it's interesting that 'tribes' such as the Native Americans and inuiits (sp) when adopting the western high carb diet became obese...
Anyway... I'm personally now convinced having tested this on myself that low/zero carbs is natural and the way forward....
I am, however, quickly becoming a bore on this as I now scan peoples shopping at the tills in Tesco etc and bite my tongue when they buy 'low fat' products thinking they are healthy lol
Always up for a debate though...it's all good

It's amazing how quickly you can run out of high protein meal ideas for the whole family and within a budget.
In a year we have gone from 5/6 loaf's of bread a week to about half a loaf. |

Chicken/sea food stir fry is good the packs of frozen stir fry veg are actually quite low carbs for the volume off food most of it is fiber.
Fish is brilliant, so is cottage cheese with fruit. |

I can highly reccomend a website called musclefood.com as have purchased from them many times. Their meat bundles work out cheaper than the supermarket and also offer such a huge variety of healthy meals and snacks. Having a bit of a sweet tooth as well I love the protein porridge, pancakes, yogurts and in paticular their protein icecreams all of which have hardly any fat or sugars.
Can't remember where they are based but never had any problems with deliverys either. |

"What about turkey? I like turkey more than chicken but I think it's now more expensive than chicken "
Never really bother with turkey should be about the same though.
White meat and fish is best though if you're eating lots and lots of it.
The cheapest option for high protein is always going to be whey or casein (that's the other bit of milk protein left after they make whey).
That's why they exist really to let people eat high amounts of protein without going broke. |

You'd be far better off switching your egg ratio around - virtually zero protein in the yolk - its pure fat to feed the embryo. |

Too much bulk in them meals break that plan down to 6 meals instead of 3 and cut the wheetabix just have porridge with egg whites then couple hours have a shake them couple hours have another small meal. Eat every couple hours smaller meals but must have protein carbs and stick to green veg especially broccoli and cottage cheese is best eaten just before bed as its a casein so a slow realise of protein x |

No carbs - no energy.
High protein diet with no carbs causes the body to break down protein as energy some are saying this is ok it isn't Its a very bad situation.
Eat enough carbs to give you the energy you need todo ur work and gym. The trick is to eat clean carbs at the right time. Trial and error but it doesn't matter how much you wana loose or rip up you need carbs. Peace and love

That's because you replace the carbs with unsaturated fats for energy which your body burns at a slower rate without insulin spikes letting you maintain a calorie deficit more easily without sudden surges of hunger as your blood sugar drops.
So it just dips into its fat reserves slowly.
The large amount of protein proves enough nitrogen to protect the muscle. (You body will only switch to ketosis in the near complete absence of carbs for a prolonged period).
Given the op specifically mentions fat it's most likely they are moving to a fat and protein based diet over a car based one. |

The whole of you must have 6 meals to increase metabolism is mainly just Bro science there's practicality no measureable effect. And until you reach competition levels the effect is so miniscule it doesn't affect normal people
The main benefit is to help avoid snacking but that's it. |

Thats wrong im afraid - in an average sized egg theres approximately 3.6g protein in the white and 2.7g in the yolk |

Totally agree. Its not rocket science, people over complicate things wayyyy too much.
To lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit, to bulk you need to be in a surplus. Simple.

But why use fat as a source of energy when fat is the enemy regardless of bulking or stripping why not have low carb count with every meal giving a steady flow of energy. The pancrease will break down the energy and serve it to the body when needed and with regular meals would not have to worry about energy increase/decrease. Ketosis takes its time but can happen with in a typical diet period. You wouldnt advise no carbs as you dont know that persons body fat and cannot assume they have the reserves to cope with what is a pretty brutal diet therefore I would always advise carbs and protein. But all this is under the assumption of him/her training,working being active. I personally wouldn't cope with out carbs, wouldn't get past breakfast. Peace and love |
