Please help! Need someone to review my menu

[PreciousLittleHuman]

Hi everyone!
Starting to get really frustrated
My weight is not going down (but not gaining either), even though I'm walking everyday (brisk walking according to Fitday) for an hour and eat about 1400 cals a day. Usually fat is 65-70%, 3-5% carbs and then the rest is protein. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. I really wish to get the weight off, but I'm still stuck at 165 lbs.

Could it be that I'm not eating enough veggies?
I know that I may be a bit low, eating about 1 cup of chopped cucumbers and ½-1 cup of green cabbage. I do get some carbs from regular mayo and eggs as well, but that should just be minimal.

You menu has undergone a lot of changes it look like - from strawberries, 2000 calories till now. Can you let us know what a menu looks like for you right now.

[PreciousLittleHuman]

Breakfast 06,30 am
2-3 hardboiled eggs
1 tablespoon regular mayo
½ cup chopped cucumber
Water

(I'm coming home from work at 06,30 am, so I'm trying not to eat too much in the morning before I go to bed)

Lunch 13-14 pm
Some slices of pork chop, only the lean meat eaten cooked in some olive oil in a pan
1 tablespoon regular mayo
1 cup of lettuce
Water

Snack 18 pm
A couple of pieces of cauliflower or a hard-boiled egg

Dinner 20-21 pm
Meat, fish or chicken
1 cup cabbage or 1 cup lettuce/cucumber
Mayo

I don't eat at night at all, just have some water to drink. I'm pretty hungry during my shift, but I just don't know if it's good to eat at night. Everyone's just keep telling me to not eat anything while working night-shift - but it's almost nine hours from my dinner until breakfast, which is a really long time when awake.

All the best, and thanks for your help

I don't know who "everyone" is but it does not sound like they are doing the Atkins diet. If night is your waking hours then you should eat. In fact on Atkins it would not be good to be hungry at all. Bring a salad, eggs, meat left overs and eat. You are not eating a lot according to your menu so I can see that you will be hungry. Are you drinking anything else than water.
Your menu looked good. I thought your lunch was kind of skimpy - make sure you get enough to eat. OK? There is a balance there.
And take your supplements.
Do you manage to get any exercise in?

Oh, alright!
I'll try to eat a meal at night instead and skip the little breakfast in the morning. That would probably suit me better anyway. When I didn't work night-shifts I never ate just before bedtime, so I'll guess it's just logical to not do so now either

I'm just drinking water, nothing else, and I'm out walking 1 hour a day at a fast pace. Trying to spin cycle once or twice a week as well.

I'll work on my lunch, that could possible be a bit more food in it.

Thank a lot for your help!!

I can imagine working nights it would be hard to figure out when to eat Dr. Atkins said not to go more than 6 waking hours without eating (he didn't say day time/night time) Good luck
