Some things are low in carbs (e.g. 1 tbsp of soy flour or 2 large baby carrots have 2 net carbs), but it doesn't really matter as long as they or the ingredients in them are not "legal" for the Atkins phase you're in.
What you should not eat. Well, that's pretty much anything that is not on the Induction acceptable foods list. This includes added sugar, starches, whey/soy/wheat products (except protein isolates, but I wouldn't have those either), aspartame... that's about all I can think of now. Whenever you buy something, check the list of ingredients first; do not assume it's "legal" just because it is low in carbs. Have the acceptable foods list with you when you go shopping, so you can check if something is okay to have or not. If you are not sure about any of the ingredients, better not buy the product. Then you can ask here and maybe someone knows if the stuff is "legal", and then you can go buy it.
This is a list of sugars:
- Corn syrup
- Dextrin
- Dextrose
- Evaporated cane juice
- Fructose
- Fruit juice concentrate
- Galactose
- Glucose
- Gur
- High fructose corn syrup
- Honey
- Hydrolyzed starch
- Jaggery
- Lactose
- Levulose
- Malt
- Malt syrup
- Maltodextrin
- Maltose
- Maple syrup
- Modified corn starch
- Molasses
- Muscovado
- Panela
- Panocha
- Polydextrose
- Rice syrup
- Saccharides (mono-, di- or poly-)
- Sucrose
- Sugar (or any stuff containing the word sugar in it, like turbinado/turbinated sugar, brown sugar, beet sugar, grape sugar, sorghum sugar etc.)
- Treacle

Anyway you mentioned something about me having bacon for breakfast. Should I not be having it for breakfast? What do you reccomend that I eat in the morning?

Nope, the problem is not that you are having it for breakfast, but that the bacon adds to your sodium intake (which is already very high from the Baconator), plus it could be cured with sugar. Try to find a SF bacon and then you can have that for breakfast as long as you watch your sodium intake. In any case, breakfast does not necessarily have to be "breakfast food". You could have anything from soup to leftovers from yesterday's dinner. I like having quiche for breakfast, because it makes 8 servings... so I have a slice of that before I go to classes or after I do my exercise, without having to cook breakfast daily. Sometimes I have 2 boiled eggs with veggies and some dip, or cream cheese softened in the microwave and mixed with sour cream and diced veggies (peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, zucchini), or omelets/scrambled eggs/poached eggs. I avoid cured meats because of hidden sugars and high sodium, but that's just a personal preference.
