2-3 hardboiled eggs.. sometimes 4 ... I want to have like 2 eggs and bacon..but I really cant find a bacon that I trust
lunch
2 cups of brocolli
2 medium sized chicken breasts
2 tablespoons of ranch that has 2g of carbs and 1g of sugar (might need a suggestion on this)
snack
a piece of Kraft naturals 2% string cheese
dinner
I will fry up some hamburger or ground sirloin with onion.. then I will toss it in a bowl and add about a half cup of cheddar cheese and some franks red hot and stir it up.. my wife says it smells gross but oh dear lord is it delicious!
Throughout the day I drink a gallon of water.. sometimes gallon and a half..
Now I know I cant eat the same thing every day but I am thinking that if I kind of keep this kind of thing going I will be ok..The only thing I kind of worry about is the string cheese and the ranch
Thanks in advance

Your menu doesn't look bad. But I bolded the problems. We follow
Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002 edition here on ADBB. According to that book, we are allowed to eat 3 cups of vegetables daily. Either 3 cups of the vegetables on the "salad" list OR 2 cups of the "salad" list and 1 cup of the "other" list vegetables. Broccoli is on the "other" list. Therefore, 2 cups of broccoli is too much broccoli, but 2 cups total vegetables is not enough for the entire day.
The majority of our net carbs must be from vegetables.
The other problem is the amount of cheese you are eating. We are limited to 3-4 ounces of cheese daily. How many ounces are in 1/2 cup of cheese? you have to look that up and make sure you aren't overeating it. Also each ounce of cheese counts as 1 net carb.
