- pengaru 5y agoVegetables, lots of vegetables.
- joebob42 5y agoIsn't that going to be carbs? I mean they certainly have less carbs per unit of weight but to the extent they have calories it's mostly carbs right? If Im exercising 5-6x a week and I can't eat much protein I need calories from somewhere.
- loudtieblahblah 5y agoMost veggies are high in fiber. You subtract fiber from carbs to get net-carbs. Only things like potatoes are truly high carb.
- curiousllama 5y agoMany vegetables actually have solid protein on a protein/calorie basis. Comparable to milk. Low net carbs is not really possible with low protein, short of chugging crisco.
- loudtieblahblah 5y agoYes it is. You're not going to get the same level of protein from kale as you would from a chicken breast. You'd eat so much kale you'd be sick. Secondly, plant proteins have incomplete amino acid profiles and won't stimulate mtor the say protein from meat and dairy will.
- curiousllama 5y agoNo, seriously, can you name 3 foods that are low net carb and low protein? I’m not saying people find it hard; I literally can’t think of 3 foods that are both low net-carb and low protein-per-calorie. Olive oil & butter are the two I’ve come up with so far. Any others you can think of? ETA: someone else suggested avocados too. Any others?
- pengaru 5y agoVegetables contain a lot of fiber, the soluble kind in particular tends to lock up sugars in a goop that passes through the small intestine and makes you fart. You can graze constantly on plain intact produce and you won't get fat.

- loudtieblahblah 5y agoVegans and vegetarians do. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3565018/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3565018/
