Carbs

Hi, I've been reading that I need to cut back on the carbs, because it releases insulin which increases testosterone levels etc. But at the same time, I am supposed to take in at least 60 grams of protein per day. Man....I cannot find food that has protein without a lot of carbs. Did you all cut back on the carbs? I'm concerned I will lose wieght if I cut down, I'm already below my BMI. I guess I could just eat boiled eggs all the time, (but probably wont get much company after a while of that) Any thoughts?

1 6oz can of tuna has approx. 33 grams of protein and 0 carbs. I will eat it right out of the can for lunch sometimes. Just food for thought.

Thanks a lot, checking the labels on everything is about driving me nuts. Hope it will get easier after time, or no?????

Any lean protein (fish, chicken, turkey, lean red meat) is an excellent source of protein with zero carbs.

What about cottage cheese? That is very high in protein and no carbs I suppose and not many calories.

If you are already below your BMI and taking SP to keep your testosterone levels down then I would not worry about it so much.
The more you stress about it the less likely you are going to eat, and that combince with the stress doesn't help with BE either.
Being below your BMI might also not be too good for growing so I would maybe try to up your weight a bit as well if you can. I know how hard that can be, eating bananas and maybe drinking lots of smoothies etc. might help a bit?
Just try not to worry about these things too much, I pretty much eat what I want and have grown fine with that, the only thing that seems to affect my growth is stress. As long as you stay away from the caffeine and too much booze you should really be fine, try and eat healthy if anything, no refined carbohidrates, lots of veggies and fish etc. and lots of water, that is a good basis for doing BE.
Take care of yourself and good luck growing!

Wow, thanks a lot to everyone that replied, I will consider all of them, and yes, I was starting to stress over it. I had looked at Ensure yesterday, but man it's spendy so didn't buy any of it. Have to warn you guys are going to get sick of my pestering in the near future. I just purchased my herbs last night and will add them to the BGP pills, (that seem to be doing nothing)
Thanks again.
