Re: Do you see something I'm missing?

What jumped out at me immediately is the powdered non-dairy coffee creamer. It's strictly forbidden. It probably contains sugar and corn syrup solids.

If you are doing Atkins by the book, you need to replace the creamer with real (heavy) cream instead.

Good catch. I had wondered about that - I'll probably just eliminate the creamer all together. Thanks!

Are you within your cheese limits?
I would also make sure I had something fatty (like a dressing or dip) with the veggie snack.
I liked how you spread out your veggies though!!
