Can anybody write a possible Breakfast, lunch, dinner, meal lists? This would be for a large man, haha. Just ideas, to help you know? Oh, and the total carbs should add to be about 20g daily? And I workout everyday, weight lifting, though. Thanks!

Have you signed up for Atkins.com? It's free, and you can use their tools to make daily menus and shopping lists.
Best part is that when you sign up they send you 3 Atkins bars, a little recipe book and a calorie counter book!!
I'll try to come up with something in the next post, tho...0 -
Check out the thread for "whats on the menu today" or something like that.
I'm a big girl and I lift and run, and I'm on atkins induction (extended).. you are welcome to prowl my diary for ideas but it's almost always some variation of
B: 2 eggs (I use Better N Eggs), 2 turkey sausage patties and a slice of cheese (on weekends, I do omelettes with veggies and bacon or ham or sausage, during the week its a quick scramble)
L: a big salad and some kind of protein (chicken, steak, pork chop)
a protein and a veggie - sometimes combined (like ground turkey stuffed bell pepper or zuchinni and ground pork sausage lasagna)
I almost always have an Atkins shake if I lift - especially if it'll be awhile until mealtime
Based on calories and/or how light my day is snacks are string cheese, ham, sometimes if I have the carbs like cucumbers and dip (altough I haven't done that in awhile). I have deviated a bit from Atkins Induction in that I'm eating nuts (supposed to wait until phase 2), and sometimes I do go up to 22-25 g net. Sometimes a sugar-free jello cup with a quick squirt of whipping cream.
This usually nets me (depending on portion size) right at 1400-1600 calories a day.
I do HEARTILY enjoy a weekly no-tortilla no-beans and no-rice Mexican food fest once a week too (my weakness and splurge) complete with guacamole and sour cream and cheese.0 -
Breakfast:
2 Egg Sausage muffins
(Recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/egg-sausage-muffins-low-carb-easy-budget-415154)
Lunch:
2 cups leafy romaine
2 tbs Hidden Valley Ranch
5 Cherry tomatoes
2 oz shredded cheese
Meat....1-2 hamburgers, 1-2 hot dogs, kielbasa, tuna salad made with mayo, chicken, turkey, fish, steak, ham, pork...
Pre-workout smoothie:
1 cup Greek Yogurt (see "the yogurt exception" http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/yogurt.html)
1/2 cup frozen or fresh strawberries
1/2 cup water
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2tbs flax meal
4 packets Splenda
Dinner:
Cauliflower Mac & cheese
(Recipe: http://stellastyle.com/newPM/cgi/pm.cgi?action=app_display&app=recipes&app_id=8)
4 meatballs
(Recipe: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/baked_meatballs.html)
1/2 cup sauce http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/marinara_sauce.html
2 tbs grated parmesan cheese
That's 28 carbs on my count (4g for yogurt). If you want to cut it down to 20, have just plain meat for dinner, not meatballs and sauce. If you want ketchup with your meat, get Heinz Reduced Sugar.0 -
You are a great help! All your responses, are geat! And, I did order the quick start kit, I actually just received it today. I went groceries shopping today, too. Just wasn't sure how to use their website to my advantage. I'm sure I'll figure it out all, though. Thanks a lot, really does help.0

Feel free to browse my diary. My carbs are a little higher though; I'm working on reducing those now. I mostly eat eggs & bacon/sausage for breakfast, then lunches & dinners consist of salads w/ meat, or meat & veggies. Good luck! :flowerforyou:0
