Need Food Ideas

Jun 15, 2010

I am really struggling with ideas for food.  I recently transitioned to eating regular foods.  I am very conscious of trying to eat high protein and low carb foods.  However, I am beginning to get tired of eggs, cottage cheese, low fat cheese sticks, baked chicken thighs, thin sliced deli meat and shrimp cocktail.  I eat very little fruits or veggies since they tend to have many carbs.  Can anyone give me some other suggestions for high protein and low carb foods that taste good?

Also, I understand I should be eating between 60-80 grams of protein a day.  What is the guideline for carbs.  Somewhere I read you should keep the carbs to around 20 grams per day.  Is that a good guideline?  Because of my focus on high proteins and low carbs, I am only eating about 500 calories a day.  Is that about right?

I am not losing weight recently and that is frustrating since I am eating well and find it hard to eat more.  I just am not hungry.....Praise the Lord!!!!!   I am working out at Curves also.  Maybe I am losing inches, but I sure would like to continue losing weight.  I have lost about 1.5 pounds in the last 2 weeks.
