What I never realized is how few calories a low carb diet actually has. To get to 2000 calories you have to have 3 large meals and a few snacks. His 2 muffin, 2 slices of toast and juice breakfast was probably pushing 800 calories (more if they were large muffins) while your 2 eggs and 3 bacon strips would be in the 400 calorie range. He probaby doesn't realize that either and yet probably believes that to lose weight you have to reduce calories.
