Protein Options

**and** · 31st March, 2012

I asked about veggie protein, gave them a list of could I eat's and got this:

Cheese: Quark, Skim - yes
Fromage Frais - no
Tofu - yes
quorn - no
soya mince - no
egss - yes
quinoa - no
lentils - no
beans - no
seeds - no
nuts - no

I'm a bit surprised at quorn being on the no list.

Maybe because Quorn has carbs in it? Not sure. I tried Quorn once and absolutely hated it.

There is someone on here who does have quorn. Personally I would put it into my fitness pal and just check that overall you're having less than 60 g of carbs a day and then decide whether to have it or not.

I love quorn. I'm testing S&S then exante to see if I want to do one or the other in summer (going to have a few months break from VLCD first).
Gutted if I can't use quorn!
It's very limited for veggies isn't it, cottage cheese, quark, tofu or eggs... Meh is all I'm gunna say to that. lol

Oh btw - anyone know what skim is? (see my above post)

**BordersGirl** · 31st March, 2012

It's not that limited for veggies as all of the meal packs are veggie friendly I think. Quark skim means Quark made with skimmed milk I think.

Quorn does have a few carbs in, but maybe they're excluding it because there are so many higher carb/breaded etc quorn products out there? I've had the plain quorn fillets a couple of times on sns, there's only 6 total carbs in 2 fillets and most of that is fibre. Not saying don't go with what sns tell you, but I'll continue to eat it as long as I'm under on my carbs I think. I don't think there's any non-animal based protein with zero carbs in.

Lamb is OK on LL lite - but a smaller portion than the LL lite chicken amount so as a one off you're probably ok. It will be higher in calories than the chicken though but it won't take you out of ketosis.

Not allowed on SnS. However, it is allowed on LL lite - but a smaller portion than is allowed of chicken. The equivalent on SnS would be about 75g. Might be higher in calories than normal SnS meals though.
