Hi Echo,
If you're not eating your veggies, you're not doing Atkins correctly. Here are the guidelines to eating vegetables at each stage of Atkins.
Liv gave you some great guidelines to go by. I suggest you read the "Rules of Induction" and "What foods can be eaten during Induction."
As you can see, you should be getting the majority of your carbs in by eating veggies from the 2 acceptable veggie list. 2 cups from the salad veggie list and 1 cup from the "other veggie list" or just 3 cups of salad veggies.
Rather that protein being your main course at meal time, it's the veggies that are the main course and the protein as a side dish.

If you are doing Induction, you need to eat a minimum of 12 NET carbs of veggies each day.
If you are in any phase of OWL, you need to eat a minimum of 17 NET carbs of veggies each day.
If you are on Maintenance, you need to eat a minimum of 22 NET carbs of veggies each day.
