I follow a modification of the Bernstein plan, getting 50-75gm of carbs a day. I have oatmeal in the morning and eat a timed servings of carbs (20-50gm) right after any exercise session. Otherwise, no carb foods. No pasta, rice, potatoes, flour at all.

I try to get at least 200gm of protein a day, supplementing with protein drinks (also lots of eggs). I try to eat six times a day. I eat as much as I can, attempting to get massive quantities of vegetables when available (go Pollan). Only a few servings of fruit a week. I use lots of good fats, no trans fats. I have no fear of saturated fat. If I have the right foods available some days I may be able to get up to about 5000 calories per day, but unless I can get lots of good fats, it is very difficult.
