Won't you get tired of broccoli and iceberg..(which has zero food value??) Cauliflower has good nutrition, less carbs than broccoli, and Kale and romaine in smoothies can work. My Dietitian says whey protein is too processed ( it is) and using whole milk yogurt for protein, or even cottage cheese or coconut milk might be better. veggies have carbs, so eliminating them can make staying <20 easier.
unsweet almond milk is great and can carry butter and cocoa for a 'hot chocolate' drink.
you can choose all meat/eggs for your protein/fat and skip the veggies for VLC.
also most tuna in oil is soy oil, so water pack is better. I like a simple diet, but yours seems very limited for interest, unless that is just one day, not repeated.
good luck!

What's your target protein? Your example looks pretty high in protein which is how people can find set backs from becoming ketoadapted because high protein leads to gluconeogenesis.0

Thank you for your input!! This is what my coach suggested, but I do see now that i need to tweak it a bit! Very limited indeed! I did worry about the protein intake! I clearly need to research this better!0

your protein is fine.
you may want to snack less. the less you snack, the more your body will turn to its own fat stores for energy.0 -

excess protein may not inhibit adaptation via GNG - but could inhibit ketone production overall.
