Hi Amanda Rae:
We got to know what brand and how much did you eat of the pickle. How many slices, or how much did the peperoni weigh? What type of cream did you use for your coffee? What type of dressing did you use? What type of cheese, shredded cheese and string cheese did you? The amount of cheeses used either by weight or measure (volume). What type of cheese stick (brand, weight, lenght or whatever) did you use. What type of ham did you use and the amount so we can determine if there are hidden sugars (most probably) in it. And finally, was the chicken freshly cooked or if it came out of a can, how much and what brand?

People tend to dive into the Atkins diet thinking they are eating "correctly."It happend to me three weeks ago. A lot of people on this forum use www.fitday.com to enter their daily nutritional values and amounts.

Sincerely,
Norman

If you want to, you can make it public and we could have a look.
What are the amounts of calories on that day?
How much of the calories were from fat, protein, carbs?

It looks to me like you are not eating enough and not getting enough fat. But let us know what fitday says and that will make it clearer.

Fat (58%) Carbs (5%)
Protein (36%) Alcohol (0%)

Yes so I think what you can do to improve is
Eat a little bit more. At least don't go hungry. It is not going to help you.
I think one reason guys lose so much easer than us girls sometimes is because they are stuck up on calories and they are more likely to make good use of the fulness factor. The body will be very hesitant to let go of the fat if it thinks there is not enough food around. It will slow down its own metabolism to compensate. You do NOT want that.


Cut down on cheese. We are limited to 3-4 oz of cheese.
Most of your carbs looks to be dairy carb. They should be veggie carbs. So cut down on dairy and make sure you have your 3 cups of veggies.

Add more fat. You are going to need it to stay full and to get into ketosis. Eat some butter with your chicken. Or more oil with your veggies. Fat should be around 65% of your calories.

Try to think of more things to eat that chicken. You may have feathers growing if you eat like that every day. Or at least you'll be so sick of your menu that you'll cheat. You do not want that. There are tons of wonderful things to prepare and eat.

Drink plenty of water.

Good luck. I know you can do this.
