How healthy is to eat quot;protein onlyquot; dinner? -

Im 25 y-o guy. Ive always been slim, but ive gained some weight. I jog and run sometimes and feel good, but i want to have a healthy lifestyle. So I started using a really nice software called crosstrainer to manage my eating and work outs. After over a month of use, the software shows Ive been eating too much carbs (good percentage of sugar too) and to little protein. That s maybe cause I usually eat high carb breakfast and dinners (bread, pancakes with syrup, pizzas, sandwiches...) and eat protein for lunch (steak, pork, meatballs, ...).I thought about changing only my dinner eliminating (or reducing) carbs. Ive been doing it for 4 days now and feel ok. I don t do this as a weight loss program, but mostly as an experiment for healthier eating.What do you think?? Is this healthy(er) as a long term or permanent diet ?PS: Ive been researching and found out there s a diet called carbs curfew , that s very similar to what i have planned.

Meals that are rich in proteins is fine. You can t eat protein only , unless it s an amino acid pill. And a pill, or course, isn t a meal. Foods high in proteins also contain fats. Protein without fats is...well.. worthless. Proteins use fatty acids for energy. So one without the other isn t beneficialKeep in mind: Your body uses carbs and fats for muscle movement. proteins are only used for cell growth (muscle, skin, hair, etc) but not movement.Regardless of what name your call your diet: If your an athlete, a diet that is 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fats will do you well. If your not an athlete, but are active and want to be more lean, then a diet around a 40:30:30 area should be considered.The avg. american diet is 20:60:20. The processed food industry can be blamed for this. (in my opinion). Oh yea: Fruits and veggies ARE carbs.

My son 19 tried this diet for some months for his gym routine, and said he felt occassional depression and severe cravings. I suggested he end it, or at least add 10-20% carbs (he was only having protein such as chicken, tuna, jerky, and dressing it with salad)Overall I think it would be much better to have a balance between fat, carbs and proteins, and not leaving out any of them altogether!

No, it s not healthy to eat protein only dinner, but it is fine ot cut out the carbs. You needs to get some fiber with that protein. Add some raw or steamed vegetables with that like broccoli or carrots.
