So ... what version of Atkins makes chicken dry and not flavorful? And why are you worried about egg whites? There are people on here who throw the egg whites away and just eat the yolks, which is completely compatible with Atkins. And chicken legs and thighs are pretty tasty, although the breasts are indeed dry and lacking in flavour. I shred the breasts to put in soup.
Are you combining an Atkins style diet with low fat? That is definitely NOT Atkins ... Atkins is a low carb, moderate protein, and high saturated fat diet. Sat. fat is finally being recognized as being healthy !!!!
