I want a list of all low carb high protein foods, snacks, meals, ect...

I am lazy as shit so i like quick easy meals...right now this is what i am eating...

Tuna-2 cans a day about
Egg whites- 3-4 a day
bbq chicken, chicken breast, steak, hamburgers,


I am going to start eating unsalted nuts as a snack, and popcorn i heard is decent...

but if we can make this a sticky and just have a huge list of great foods to eat that would i think help everyone!!!

Doc.Booty

Stuck! Let's make this a general recipe thread. Please please please post nutrition facts (at least calories, protein, carbs and fat) if you can.

Here's my contribution (although not my recipe): Protein Pancakes

1/2c instant oats
1/2c fat free cottage cheese
1/2c skim milk
1/2c egg beaters
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbs splenda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4tsp vanilla

Blend then pour like normal pancake batter.

Nutrition facts for one batch: 500 calories (w/ 2/3cup sugar free syrup) , 60g protein. A batch makes about 5, 8" pancakes.

As for your snack suggestion... Nuts are pretty calorie dense and very fatty (good fats, but still a lot of them). I would try to stay away from popcorn unless you find it filling. No matter what you have, make sure it fits your meal plan.

RaptorCLS

roughly 2000 calories a day, 126 grams carbd, 64grams fat

would split into a six meal plan like this:

morning: 1/2 cup non fat cottage cheese with 1/2 cup strawberries
snack: 1 RTD from EAS (Body for Life)

Lunch: 1 cup skinless grilled chicken breast, 1 cup watermelon, 1/2 cup steamed brocoli
snack: Cytosport Muscle Milk (pre workout)

WORKOUT

POSTWORKOUT 1 jar of hawaiian delight dessert (gerber baby food.....thats right baby food)
1 Tablespoon of Soy Lecithin granules
8oz drink of Whey Protien


Dinner: 1 large bag of albacore tuna mixed with 1 small bag of spiced tuna.

Basically eating every 2-3 hours. Dont go beyong 3 hours much cause you will feel very hungry.

Water like there is no tomorrow!

i hate to tell you, but carbs are neccessary for good energy levels, just in moderation

RaptorCLS

this all depends on how low people are talking about....a major bulking phase for a typical person would be around high 200's to high 300's. To cut that in half isnt bad. To go into Ketosis like 30g carbs a day I would consider bad. The theory is sound to turn glucose into your enery intake, but I think there would issues down the road. Doing a CKD or TKD diet I think is only good for cutting (very short periods), eventhough you are allowed refeed days).

Adam_Schwartz

Here are the main meals I am eating now...watch out, they are CRAZY!!

sweet potatoes with Splenda and cinnamon + grilled chicken breast/turkey with Frank's Red Hot
red taters + chicken or turkey with Frank's Red Hot
brown rice + albacore tuna + a little Kraft Free Italian
steel cut oats + cinnamon + honey and some chicken

Adam_Schwartz

Indeed - the human brain, on average, needs 75 grams of carbs to function properly. Complex carbs are an essential part of any fat loss program, provided anyone wants the fat to stay off. There are some low-carb techniques body builders use, but I'd never suggest the "average" person use them.

It still peeves me that so many people think carbs in general are bad. My co-workers see me eat carbs all day long and still don't get it.

BEETROOT

Cutting out the shitty carbs won't hurt you though, or exchanging them for complex carbs.

Adam_Schwartz

Of course not, carbs are not created equal. Most Americans eat shitty carbs and in mass quantities and think because they are fat, then all carbs must be bad.

RaptorCLS

lets not forget..simple carbs are still good too...good ones that is...fruits!

Adam_Schwartz

I would not consider fruit to be a simple carb like bread or pasta is - I don't eat fruit for the carbs, but more because it tastes good and has vitamins and other disease fighting agents in them. Sugar is sugar to the body, whether it be from a candy bar or a yummy peach.

RaptorCLS

I usually create a meal plan that I stick to for the entire week (m-f) Saturday I allow one 'cheat' meal which is still healthy, just something I wouldnt normally eat and Sunday I keep the protein and carbs high...

This week runs something like this:

Breakfast
1/2c still cut oats
1 small tomato
5 egg whites
1c nonfat yogurt with 1tbs of maple syrup

Snack
1c brocolli
1c grapes

Lunch
2c spinach with 2tbs of balasmic vinegarite
1c mushrooms raw
1 small pouch tuna
1c carb control dannon yogurt
1c honeydew

Snack
1oz peanut butter (organic)
1c nonfat milk
1scoop Any Whey

PreWO
smoothie:
1c nonfat milk
1scoop any whey
1/2c banana
1/sc blueberries

PostWO
Cellmass
Pro Complex

Dinner
chicken filet
1/2 brown rice
6 brussel sprouts
1/2c grapes

Bedtime
Muscle Milk

Also within those times I take supplements...but u get the jist of it

RaptorCLS

sorry for not clarifying...I meant fruit juices...

Adam_Schwartz

I hear ya bro, just giving my personal "definition" of certain foods. I freakin LOVE fruit on taste alone, but the side benefits are awesome. So you are totally right saying that fruit is a good thing, no matter how you define it. In fact, I eat pasta and bread myself, but like most here, I eat it in moderation and mix in complex carbs.

RaptorCLS

your meals above look tasty..I might have to try them out...

Adam_Schwartz

To be honest with you, they are pretty bland without any seasoning. Thank God for salsa, Frank's Red Hot, low calorie Italian, Splenda, Cinnamon, etc. Keep in mind these are my main current meals for my current weight loss program. I eat a fairly different diet when I am not trying to lose fat. Most people think I am nuts for eating less than 10 food items over and over for 12 weeks, but somehow I just do it. One thing is for sure, you are never hungry on this program.

BTW, I don't mix the steel cut oats with chicken - looks like that's what I implied in my post above. That would be pretty gross. But steel cut oats are so damn good and can be put in the fridge and reheated. With honey and cinnamon, they are damn near a treat.

I forgot one good quick meal for when you are on the go. Take 10 egg whites, about 1 cup of oats, some Splenda and cinnamon to taste - blend it up really good so it's a pretty smooth consistency. Then make pancakes or muffins with the batter. They are a perfectly balanced meal and can be taken anywhere. And they taste pretty damn good too.

careful with the popcorn.. make sure it doesn't have partially hydrogenated oils as many of them do.

stir fry is one of the best healthy meals... here's one of my versions:

2-3 slices of boneless chicken breast, or 4-6 oz. of steak/pork, cut up
green/red/yellow pepper, or any combination thereof
sugar snap peas (cook first separately because they take much longer)
1/2 sweet onion
1 clove garlic
1-2 tbsp. olive oil
splash soy sauce, sesame oil and/or rice wine vinegar
dash of salt

other veggies that you can stir fry: carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, etc etc

it's quick and easy and very healthy. make with a side of rice, and you've got a well-balanced meal.

Bodybuilder's Chili

The easiest way to go about making this chili is to spend Sunday afternoon cooking enough for the rest of the week. (You can't go wrong with pre-made meals for the entire week!) First, get yourself one of those empty 5-pound buckets of protein you used to buy before Biotest's Advanced Protein hit the market and then fill it with chili, using the following recipe.

Sure, if you broil up 7 pounds of ground beef, throw in a can or two of stewed tomatoes, some kidney beans, a can or two of tomato paste, and a fistful of chili powder, say the magic words (Long live Beano!) and next thing you know, you've got fourteen quick meals. Spoon about a half pound out in your tupperware in the morning and toss it in the microwave when it's time to eat. That'll cut prep time down to a minimum. You can also do the same thing with chicken and turkey. Let's recap:

7 pounds extra lean ground beef, chicken, or turkey
3 cans red kidney beans
1 can stewed tomatoes
2 cans tomato paste
Chili powder
Small Bucket
Magic Words

Sure it won't taste as good as Bubba's 5-alarm chili, but then again, you'll have a much better physique than Bubba, bubba!

Protein Pasta

If you're of the "higher carb" persuasion (as Seinfeld would say "not that there's anything wrong with that!") and you've got some time on your hands, pick up some pasta. The trick though, is to get yourself some protein enriched pasta. Throw in some meatballs made from extra lean ground sirloin, turkey, or John's favorite, ground chicken.

Finally, top it all off with fat-free chunky pasta sauce and you've got yourself a decent, high-protein meal you can eat without attracting all those stupid protein questions from your co-workers or classmates. This meal actually appears, gasp, normal to them. If they only knew! Heck, you could even invite over that T-vixen you've had your eye on and show her your, uh, "manicotti."

Hmm I pretty much have this 30 minutes before bed every night (I even use the friendship brand) but I use the 1% regular. The low sodium is

You put 1/2 banana and fiber one, for pre-bed? Or is this a little earlier then before bed? I know the fiber one would be pretty good before bed since the fiber would slow down the protein absorption.

I got Hydroxycut Hardcore from GNC. Started eating right and stopped drinking soda. Had an energy drink before workout and one every day or two just to drink. Drank water enough so i had to piss every hour and half. Salads. Lost 60 pounds in a little over 2 months.
