Hummm... interesting. I eat very, very simply... LOL I don't like to cook! I'd rather grab a fruit and some cheese and call it that! Or sometimes I just put some frozen vegetables in with some dry TVP, spices, water and a tad bit of Smart Balance margarine (no hydrogenated fat!), cook them in the micro and eat... to most that just wouldn't be very good, but I like it though and sense I usually just cook for myself, I am happy with it. I hope you do find some recipes that balance the protein/carbs as in the zone so that you can be happy with, because I feel so much better than I did when I was doing simple low carb... doesn't make a difference to me whether it is from soy, cheese, egg or meat. I just don't care too much for the taste of meat most of the time. I have tried mock hamburgers and I thought they were much better than the real thing... didn't leave me with that 'meat' taste... although they are reminiscent of the former! Best wishes!
