Yes.

The food choices are _anything_ but small.

Learn to cook and look up low carb recipes on the web.

Vegetarian bodybuilder is an oxymoron. ($1.00 to Will brink).

I wouldn't recommend relying on _just_ the shakes. Eat some food
every once in a while, or you really will go crazy.

Also, you need the fiber.

Sure. And some fish oil wouldn't hurt either.

Periodic refeeds help.

Use your imagination.

Enormous salads with some seafood/poultry/egg added and some banana
peppers, tomatoes, basil, etc. Use a small amount of really good
tasting salad dressing and stretch it with some lemon juice or
vinegar.

Shred some chicken breast on a plate (or use the canned stuff). Put a
little low fat cheddar on top and nuke it. Add jalapenos and some low
fat/fat free sour cream and some green or red sauce. Kinda like a
quesadilla.

Low fat or fat free cottage cheese, skim milk, eggs/egg whites, fish.
Mix the cottage with some splenda and cinnamon when you want something
sweet.

And don't forget about sugar free Jello. Not for protein, but for
sanity.

Cut calories AND do protein shakes 4-5 times a day? Does that mean
you're skipping fiber altogether? Not eating socially? Not getting any
phytonutrients? Yes, take a multivitamin. But eat some real food, too.

Cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, balance bars, protein shakes,
fish... it's doable.

Try sci.med.nutrition. That sounds more their speed.
