Is it OK to fluctuate & NOT eat all of the 30 netcarbs on one day but eat it another?

I moved this thread to the OWL forum and commented on your menu here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...es-needed.html (Starting OWL RUNG 2 TODAY - Any Changes needed?)

Oh, and it's okay if your carbs fluctuate a bit, as long as you don't go over your net carb limit, whichever that is. I imagine you didn't eat exactly the same number of net carbs during each day of your Induction. If you eat only to feed your hunger (or follow the 6-hour rule), I find it hard to believe it is possible to eat the exact same number of carbs/fat/protein every day.

However, I would try not to vary carbs like crazy. Keeping them around the same number (doesn't have to be spot on) will make it easier to find your CCLL. Once you know your CCLL, you can let them fluctuate by 5-10 net carbs as long as you are staying below your CCLL.

And just a reminder: make sure most of your net carbs are coming from veggies.
