Thats right, PROTEIN FIRST! Then good carbs like veggies and fruit. Avoid the BAD CARBS like processed cakes, cookies, ice cream etc. You know all my old favorites:(b Well you get the idea....

You can get a carb counter book from Dr. Atkins, it lists how many carbs are in everything. The lowest carbs in veggies is broccoli, cauliflower, zuchinni, the highest would be corn, peas, tomatoes, carrots- in fruits, bannanas, are very high in carbs, and so are grapes, oranges, etc. Berries are very low in carbs, hope this helps.

All carbs are not created equal! Carbs from whole foods (complex carbs like fruits and veggies) are different from processed carbs like white sugar and white flour that will cause big blood sugar swings. My doc recommends protein first for at least half the meal, then fill the rest w/ veggies and fruit. It I HAVE to have bread or crackers, I keep it whole grain, but I do better weight wise when I avoid them.
