What is your age? And while I acknowledge that we are all different, I must say that I would be a skeleton at 105 pounds. Are you sure that isn't too low? What kind/frequency of exercise are you doing?

You have been given some very excellent advice. I agree that your calories and fat look low. And Georgiana is correct... most of your net carbs should come from veggies, so I wouldn't advise swapping out veggies for dairy. I tried that on my first attempt at Atkins, and I never reached my goal weight and wasn't able to maintain the losses I did have. Not to mention the fact that you really do need veggies for vitamins, minerals, and to go *potty*. This time around, I embraced veggies and was able to reach goal.
