Re: Am i doing it right

YES! You definitely need the oils/fats for cooking your meats or dressing your salads. The reason that Atkins works is because of the FATS we eat. 65% of your daily calories should be from fat sources. You might want to check out www.fitday.com to enter all your foods and make sure that you are getting enough fat. This is IMPORTANT!

You can have 3 ounces of cheese a day.
Youc an have 3 tbspn of cream a day
You can have full fat salad dressings without added sugar (blue cheese, ranch, caesar)
you can have olive oil
You can have 1/2 an avacado
Eggs
Mayonnaise
These are all acceptable sources of fat...there are many more such as sour cream, cream cheese, etc.

Oh, I'm glad to see you eating veggies...but try to eat more vegetables with a better nutritional value than "salad" which usually translates to "lettuce" Lettuce is little more than crunchy water...spend your vegetable allowance (only 3 cups per day) on more nutritious veggies.
