I you are going to go high protein low carb I would suggest a carb range of 100-125 carbs a day. thats what I'm focusing on right now. Its not hard, just take all the wheat in your diet and replace it with something else. Or, at least thats what worked for me and got me down to that carb range. I still eat rice and potatos and starchy veg. I just stay the eff away from the wheat (just finished readin Wheat Belly, that was enough to turn me off the stuff).
For high protein and low cal foods I like tuna, eggbeaters, chicken breast and tenderloins, turkey breast, and every so often pork chops and steak.
Some low carb diets that you can read about and get ideas from are Atkins (on the extreme end), the Dukan Diet, South Beach and the Glycemic Index is a good resource.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN IF:
* You believe that stubbies can be either drunk or worn.
* You're liable to burst out laughing whenever you hear of Americans "rooting" for something.
* You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-bin'.
* You believe the 'L' in the word 'Australia' is optional.
* You can translate: 'Dazza and Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas.'
* You believe it makes perfect sense for a nation to decorate its highways with large fibreglass bananas, prawns and sheep.
* You think 'Woolloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place.
* You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife.
* You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as its $2 coin.
* You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga' but 'Woy Woy' can't be called 'Woy'.
* You believe that cooked-down axle grease makes a good breakfast spread. You've also squeezed it through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms.
* You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up, at which point they again become Kiwis.
* Beetroot with your Hamburger... Of course.
* You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' And "Living next door to Alice".
* You believe that the confectionery known as the Wagon Wheel has become smaller with every passing year.
* You believe that the more you shorten someone's name the more you like them.
* Whatever your linguistic skills, you find yourself able to order takeaway fluently in every Asian language.
* You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, While 'scuse me' is always polite.
* You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose.
* You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron.
* Your biggest family argument over the summer concerned the rules for beach cricket.
* You shake your head in horror when companies try to market what they call 'Anzac cookies'.
* You still think of Kylie as 'that girl off Neighbours'.
* When working in a bar, you understand male customers will feel the need to offer an excuse whenever they order low-alcohol beer.
* You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc.
* You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere...no matter where you actually are.
* You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like shit. But we let the world think we do. Because we can.
* You have some time in your life slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume.
* You've only ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you REALLY mean it.
* You know that the barbecue is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man. And the women make the Salad.
* You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not.
* You understand what no wucking furries means.
* You've drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam.
* You own a Bond's chesty. In several different colours.
* You know that roo meat tastes pretty good, But not as good as barra. Or a meat pie.
* You know that some people pronounce Australia like "Straya" and that's ok.
* You have a thong tan...not on your arse!
Happy Australia Day

LOL Maybe I shouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as I did.
Well I lost it ... trying the high protein diet /low cab I have got lost in what I should be doing what I should be eating its driving me nuts.
Most breakfast I have been eating eggs (HOW MANY EGGS CAN A GIRL EAT)
For lunch meat for dinner meat which is not so bad but I don’t know what I can eat with it. For veggies I only eat potato peas and corn (guess what I can’t have) so that puts them out, and I can only eat so much salad.... im going insane

Potatos peas and corn are all on the higher carb end for veg. Try a nice steak, some greens wilted with vinegar and roasted Brussels.i don't know how ppl do low carb, I know I couldn't stick with it for too long, that's why I prefer calorie counting, much more variety. And...nutella.
