You'd need a side plate that was twice as big and full of starchy carbs.

You dont have to eat animals if you do low carb, its perfectly possible to do low carb vegetarian

Yes. Just replace the animals with plants in the above diagram.

Open to misinterpretation though,
I assume you don't mean sausage and mash, fish and chips or curry and rice!

Yum.

I agree. It's probably from the Paleo lot, so plants excludes tubers, grains and legumes.

"No tubers, grains and legumes" (or sugar) is a pretty good prescription for low carb don't you think?

I dont eat animals

My staples are nuts & cheese, carrots & other veg, pulse, though I do eat eggs & meat.

The nuts provide plenty of protein, fats & fibre.

A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. When he had an evening meal at the hotel he was staying at he wanted some 'extra vegetables' with his steak and chips. They said 'certainly sir' and brought him more chips... :?

nuts are not full of carbs. Ground almonds are used in lots of low carb recipes.

I'm glad I don't use the same brand as you!! I bake a lot and was short, so got some today, I am sitting with the bag here.

Sainsbury's ground almonds - carbs 6.5g per 100g. What brand are you using?

6.5 according to Collins gem calorie counter which lists protein, carbs, fat and fibre.
You are confusing carbs with protein.

That was whole almonds from Holland and Barrett btw.

I had to check the ground almonds for myself - here's the info for the Sainsburys ground almonds in case anyone was worried about the carb content. I've highlighted the carbs to make it easier to see:

So how do you bake with it then? Can you make a loaf by substituting flour?
