    Fat*.

    Well I noticed that if I have a yogurt in the morning containing some carbs, I can then go low carb, but if my first meal is only protein I get really nauseous.
    I learned this years ago when I used to drink oats blended with whey, and then lift weights. The whey would burn first and I would get really nauseous and week.
    So now I have to have carbs before and during my workout or I will get sick and be too weak to have good form. The funny think is if I don't eat at all I don't get sick and don't even notice really.
    Any thing really sweet makes me nauseous as well, I don't really consume sugar at all because I'm a natural fatty. I ended up having timed glucose testing done and I'm the total opposite of diabetic. I forgot what that means thou, I think my sugar gets lower from glucose.

    Gonna try low carb again this week. 100 on non work out days and more on work out days? What's a good amount on a lifting day, so I can actually lift.

    I've been trying to learn how to eat a super high protein diet because I'm one of those fluffy guys who doesn't need 3,000 calories of milk.

    How in the HELL am I supposed to get that percentage of protein?! On the days where I've eaten 'perfectly'- low carb (no bread or grains, no fruit, just veggies), chicken, salmon, tuna, egg whites, whey, some tofu- I have only been able to get near 40%. Above that means some serious issues "on the way out" if you get my meaning.

    I usually end up with about 300 grams for 3,000 calories. (I'm strictly counting, and yes I realize this is pushing the low limit of calories suggested for the program)

    Have any of you ever really been able to get that high a percentage of protein? How did you do it?

    You can buy flavor packs and get the 25 pounds unflavored if you want. Cheapest high quality whey you will find?

    I have trouble even getting to 40% calories from protein. I eat 4-5 Fage unflavored yogurts in addition to the normal things like chicken, turkey, fish, powder.

    I try to get 40% protein. It would be a PITA without protein powder. Using the powder it's not even remotely difficult.
