I recently started a low carb, high protein diet. I am vegetarian - the no meat, not fish, yes eggs types :-). My goal is to consume less than 40g of carbs and about 70g of protein a day. Through this blog I want to record my low carb recipes and help others who are vegetarian and want to follow a similar diet.
