Watch the carb calories go up as you take out more fat. IMHO: DUMB!
Personal choice: Mountain High Original Style, Plain yogurt. Low carb, no crap
Drop your carbs to 40%, raise your protein to 30%, pay less attention to your fat intake. As a vegetarian it's hard to get too much fat unless you eat a TON of nuts. Please eat some however; many, many nutrients to balance out your intake. Good luck!
40/30/30 is good for sedentary folks and/or endurance based sports like running, cycling. You probably won't find too many NFL'ers using it.
Almost half the protein from eggs is in the yolk so if you're throwing that away plan on eating twice as many. I'm a big fan of the liquid egg white products like
www.eggwhitesint.com. I also like black/kidney beans for protein. A typical lunch for me is beans mixed with wild rice and a few ounces of ground beef ( browned, drained and rinsed). You can also try Instone chcocolate pudding. It's about 20 grams of protein per serving. I buy it by the case.
Good source for cheap protein in Canada =
