Your menu sounds good. I need to get back into high protein. I've been eating a moderate amount of protein lately.

It's been hard doing Atkins with the headaches and being so tired from the lack of Carbs but I believe I can do it and it will be worth it in the long run. You're doing great going from a size 18 to a size 2! Keep it up!
