That is too little food Ashley. You could eat more for breakfast. My left arm eats that Don't worry about the carbs - that will sort itself out when you add the other stuff you need.
Your lunch should include some fat and protein. Tuna? Chicken? Ribs? (I love ribs ) Taco meat? Something.
Dinner is looking OK.
Keep eating young lady. Starving is not the way to go on Atkins.

This looks WAY better!

tip: if you eat a bit of meat (or an egg) with your veggies, you will digest the carbs more slowly & stop your blood sugar from spiking. Try adding a boiled egg or a piece of sandwich meat or a leftover sausage to your lunch! This would also add some protein to your menu & help with the percentages

technically, asparagus is on the "other" veggie list & is limited to one cup/day. If you had only one cup of asparagus, you could add a cup of cucumber or lettuce or sweet peppers to round out your veggies. You could dip the veggies in mayo if you like.

Very well done overall - this is a huge improvement over your last menu! Good job!

FWYOOOOO!!!!!! Wow, that is a major load taken off of my back! Thanks for responding. I've been worried this was a horrible meal plan all day long. And I'll take not on the tuna with lunch, eat more food (I've never had to tell myself that before lol), eat protein with veggies, and to keep track of my asparagus intake! YAY! lol. I'm just happy it is better than yesterdays menu!
