I am a vegetarian and et no meat or fish.
Please tell me of another food that a vegetarian ( during induction) can eat besides eggs, which has as low carb content as eggs.

Thanks.

Tofu .....

Oh! Yeah! You are correct.
How many carbs does it have? Any idea? How do you compare the two (tofu and eggs) in respect of carbs?
I don't really like Tofu. But, if it has carbs as low as eggs, then I don't mind switching over. I am fed up of eggs and although I am not a fan of Tofu, I think it will be a good change from eggs.

Thanks a ton!

If you are not on Induction, beans are a great high protein food!! Just avoid things like baked or refried beans (unless you make your own w/o sugar). Black soy beans are especially great! (check out my web site, link in siggy, for a great black soy bean and corn soup and refried black soy beans). Kidney beans, red beans, black beans, garbonzo beans and all the others are great too!

Thanks for you reply, but I am on Induction.
Sorry I should have mentioned.

start reading the labels for the boca, morningstar, gardenburger, yves, etc. products...you'd be amazed how many of them are induction-safe. yves actually has a line under the "carb fit" brand, and their "chicken" burgers are amazing. 3 grams of carbs

you can even get the nutritional information online. subtract the fiber under carbohydrates, and most burgers range from 1-5 carbs.

not as good as eggs but cucumbers are very low in carbs like 2 per cup I eat lots of them with a little dressing if it gets old.

Raw snowpea's are low in carbs and yummy for a snack. Fitday says for a half cup of whole snowpeas it is 13 calories and 2 carbs.

In Canada (not sure about anywhere else) we have a brand of vegetarian products called Zoglo's. There are usually with the hors d'ouvres in the Loblaws I shop at. The veggie meat loaves are my fav!!! They have around 3 carbs for two of them. I put a dallop of mayo and salsa on them...they're terrific....and only 120 calories too. They also have a "chicken cutlet" that appears to be breaded but its not. They are also around the same carbs/cals. Try them out if your grocery store has them. They're great!

For some reason, avocadoes have always reminded me of hard boiled eggs. I think that they would make a great substitute in egg salad.

Boca Burgers...the flame-grilled ones...are only ONE carb each.

Also...and I never see this mentioned ANYwhere....Loma Linda has VegeBurger (crumbles), Linkettes, and Big Franks....(they've had them as long as I can remember.....) and you don't even have to count them because the label lists either one or two carbs per serving....and it's ALL FIBER.....check it out.

All Loma Linda and Worthington products are vegetarian....and all are in CANS...not fresh or frozen sections of the supermarket.

I eat Morningstar Farms sausage patties and breakfast links.

Be careful of the ingredients of the "processed" (mock-meat) items. If you are in Induction - make sure they do not have wheat products.

There's another new one from Schneider's - Meatless Beef Tips. I believe all the ingredients are Induction friendly, and they are not bad taste-wise (I am in pre-maint, so I am less restricted on ingredients). Check out the Schneider's website for more info. Don't go for the breaded "chicken nuggets", though. I'm pretty sure they contain wheat products.

Check also the Yves products. I used to love the Burger Burgers, even when I didn't do Atkins, or eat strictly vegetarian. I just liked them for a change. They also have a mock ground meat, and a whole lot of other things.

I remember an egg tofu I used to get in tubes in the Superstore in Victoria - sliced and fried for breakfast. It was great.
