These common vegetarian foods are high in carbs. Quinoa for example - 1 cup of cooked quinoa provides 8g protein but 35g carbs which are more than the total daily carb allowance on a keto diet. But you can be a high-protein low-carb vegetarian! It just takes a bit of planning and know-how.
Not surprisingly, they are all based on ingredients that should be on any low carb vegan food list: 1 Tempeh 2 Tofu (see high protein tofu recipes) 3 Hemp seeds 4 Mushrooms 5 Vegan protein powder
And for a good reason- a low carb diet helps you lose weight quickly. But if you really want to turbocharge your weight loss, you should also eat meals high in protein. That’s because of all the macronutrients, protein fills you up the most. As an added bonus, it revs up your metabolism.
