My menu!

[Zolgor]

This is my basic menu, I lost 70lbs on Atkins before with about the same meals so I am pretty sure it will work for me again I just wanted to see if anyone had any tips or sees anything that can be improved.

Breakfast:

1 Really big scrambled egg
2 slices of bacon
2 sausage patties (small)

Lunch:

Chicken Salad with mayo
2 Cups Lettuce, some sprinkled cheese and bacon bits (the real stuff)

Dinner:

2 8oz strip steaks
1 cup of spaghetti squash
3 tablespoons of butter

Today I have drank about 100oz of water and will get another 40-60oz down by the end of the day. not the best but not that bad.

That looks pretty good, but make sure you vary your vegetables a bit and that your salad contains more than just lettuce. Remember it's important to get the different nutrients and fiber from the various veggies :yes

Check the numbers at Fitday

and see how they line up, and adjust accordingly if needed.

Don't forget that oils, like olive or canola are good sources of fats as well.

Other than that, if you are content eating similar foods each day, then go for it! But be careful of getting bored with your foods. And by all means, if you are hungry between meals, snack on something legal, preferably a combo of protein&fat.

It looks like you have gone 1/2 cup over your 3 cups of veggies.

The shakes (assuming they only contain ingredients on the Acceptable foods list) are really only for 'emergencies' rather than a daily routine. Many people report that they 'stall' any weightloss too :yikes
