Ah there was a thread just like this not to long back, but didn't garnish a whole lot of responses.

I've been low carb for close to two years I think (a few months shy).
yesterday was:
- coffee with about an oz of almond milk
- 2 x kavli krisps with sliced cheese & cold cuts (turkey)
- coffee with almond milk
- 32 oz water
- Cobb salad with some extra blue cheese
- coffee with almond milk
- low carb fish tacos (2 LC tortillas, cheddar cheese, baked tilapia, tartar sauce, avocado, & lots of cabbage) about 20g of carbs for dinner.
- a square of Lindt chocolate mixed with a tbsp of PB for desert.
About a 40carb day.
The vegetarian's that I've known have usually gotten their protein requirements mixed with a lot of carbs (e.g., beans, yogurts, etc.) you may be able to get away with a lot of tofu (if your good with soy), but otherwise you will need to introduce eggs, fish, and other forms of protein to sustain yourself. Mind you, you'll be after more fat than protein. Also, you'll need to watch out for all those foods with hidden carbs (quinoa, kale, beans, etc.). When I say hidden, they just don't seem like high carb foods, ya know? Good luck!
