I have followed a restricted calorie diet for some time, with success. But I struggle to meet my protein needs. How do you do it, with limited calories?

I find that instead of eating carbs, I eat protein foods. The latter will still give you energy but you won't be skimping on protein at the same time.

I look at the nutrition info provided on the package of everything. If there are more carbs than protein, I don't eat it.

Eat lots of beans - you lose all your friends but you will lose some weight too
