You've only posted one meal.. What were your other two meals?
I found this thread in another forum:
http://paleohacks.com/questions/499...g#axzz1yQ2UKyu3
Personally, I think a whole foods diet would be best - e.g. rather than snacking on veggie sticks, proper veggies would be better - you could get two big generous colourful salads for the 10g carbs of veggie sticks, and adding some feta cheese or an egg plus some olive oil would add more nutrients, protein and healthy fat. Having a big salad like that in the fridge for snacking on would be great. I actually have that type of salad for breakfast. Rather than the candy, you could try full fat greek yoghurt with oats, nuts and berries, or an egg-based pudding with berries.
Did you eat other meals, or was that all you ate all day? If that was all your food intake, then I recommend that you eat 3 proper meals a day, and try to make up batches of soup for starters if the meal isn't ready. If you're struggling for ideas for meals, then you could have another look at Dr. Atkins' book - there are daily menus plus recipes at the back. When you've been watching your weight, it's easy to get into the habit of under-eating or snacking, but with low-carb, you can eat more, with better nutrients, as long as you are disciplined about your carb intake.
Enjoy the diet - it's great!
