Lunch...2 egg omlette with 25 grams of cheese, green salad and 1 tblspn mayo

It looks a bit heavy in dairy, which many people have problems with. It may be better to start with strict Atkins 1972 Induction:
Cheese: Four ounces (114 g) a day of any hard aged cheese. No cream cheese or cheese spreads.
Heavy Cream: Four teaspoons (20 ml) a day.
and try adding cream cheese and extra cream after 2 weeks.

Oh..I was going by new atkins. Does this sound better?

Bkfst 50 grams hard cheese wrapped in ham.
Lunch 2 egg omelette with 50 grams hard cheese, green salad 1 tbspn mayo.
Dinner portion meat or fish green veg and 1 tbspn butter
Snack 1 egg and 20 mls of cream made into egg custard.

I will probably divide the cheese and have half portions for meals and the other for mid morning and mid afternoon. Is that o.k?
Thankyou

hard cheese and cream is not the same. cream has far more sugar than hard cheese. So the amount of heavy cream is limited each day.

While Atkins allows for snacks of the OP types, I have found I do better after a transition period to fewer snacks. For me most snacks trigger more eating not less.

Good luck.....you can do this!
