What are your goals? Ar you eating 20 whole eggs or egg whites? Tracking all your food is a good idea. Fill in your profile and we can all help out.

500 gr. of carbs is probably too much for most folks. You need to analyze your metabolism as to your carb tolerance for your needs. As far as protein, it is relatively easy to get the desired amount. A 6 oz. chicken breast for instance has around 35 gr. A can of tuna has 32 gr. Have 5-6 meals per day, throw in your protein shake, and voila', your protein needs are met.
