> but do you know how much stuff you have to eat to get a caloric surplus on a protein-based diet, without the addictiveness of carbs? Pretty much any time you think of it, it's time for some milk/peanut butter sandwich/hard-boiled egg/spinach.
Milk is pretty carb heavy.
Peanut butter is mostly fat with a little protein.
Spinach, insofar as it provides calories, is almost entirely carbs.
Except for eggs -- which are still fairly high fat:protein ratio -- those are all odd choices for a "protein-based diet, without the addictiveness of carbs".
