Low-carb, high protein vegetarian

[happypotamus]

DH has decided it will be good for him to eat a low-as-possible carb, high protein diet. We usually eat dinner as a family, which is him (vegetarian) and me (31 weeks pregnant) and DD (3yrs old, eats everything). He admitted himself that for the past few days he has eaten only eggs, vegetarian sausages, salad and cheese. What can else would be good? What kind of meals can we make out of these limited options? We do usually eat a lot of carb-based meals.
Please no comments on how it is an unhealthy diet for him, because he won't listen now that he's decided to do it.

I'm interested in this too. I'm a veggie and would like to reduce my carb intake but I struggle for ideas especially as I'm not a big fan of beans or quorn! Some ideas I'm thinking of trying...

Replacing rice with cauliflower rice
Peanut butter on celery instead of toast for breakfast/snack
Nut roasts

Struggling for other ideas! I've done low card before when I had gestational diabetes but I was eating meat (the only time in 15 years I ate meat because the cravings were so strong).

I think it can be easy to fall into eating a lot of carbs as a veggie, especially if you're fussy like I am!

The cookbook by Hemsley and Hemsley would be a great buy or borrow. I follow a low carb diet and my daughter is vegan, I've made mushroom and nut burgers, lots if avocado stuff, fritters, where does he stand on faux grains like quinoa? - that's quite good. I also use a lot of chia.

I'm a low carb pescatarian, though mostly eat veggie. Definitely not unhealthy. I do go to the gym a lot though, so I supplement with protein shakes to make sure I get enough protein.

I eat a lot of eggs, plus pulses and tofu. And loads of veg. Fruit and Greek yoghurt (the proper, expensive Total kind - not "greek-style"). Plenty of milk. Nuts as a snack.

It helps that I am happy to spend a lot of time cooking...

A typical day might be:

Breakfast - eggs, mushroom, spinach, tomatoes. Or eggs with avocado (a good source of protein)

Snacks: yoghurt and berries (lowish carb) mid morning, some nuts or seeds - maybe flaxseeds (good for protein and fibre)

Lunch/dinner: veg and chickpea curry, maybe with salad on the side; a big salad with cheese, asparagus, egg; a veg bake (maybe celeriac, sweet potato, butternut squash) with cheese and/or nut butter; a lentil bake; aubergine parmigiana, with salad; veg chilli with kidney beans; lentil salad; omelette with loads of stuff inside it; cauliflower gratin.

I don't think the options are limited, but definitely it takes more thought and more time - especially eating at work, that requires more planning.
