... and welcome to our project!

The sheet I printed out (called Basics or the LCPV.2 Calendar) said that on Stillman days, you can have "lemon/lime juice, herbs, spices, hot sauce, soy sauce, Splenda, etc. in moderation." Plus I have Stillman's book, and he says you can have ketchup and/or cocktail sauce in moderation. So I'm a little confused.

OK, I'm chiming in here in hopes it helps (and keep in mind that even for we few 'veterans' doing this for the 2nd time, the first week is often a shakedown, getting used to this stuff)...
The answer to your "question" above is basically, if it's not on the LCPV.2 Calendar/Basics, it's probably NOT allowed. It's a lot simpler this way, and we've worked out the bugs.
Therefore, NO nuts (white/carbs) if it's not a Regular LC day for you, NO ketchup (heck I don't think it's allowed even on Regular LC...., it's loaded with sugar).
We used Stillman as a starting point, and then made the rules a bit tighter because of what we're trying to do... all the condiments listed on the Basics have in common that they are fairly LC to really LC, as well as low-fat.
Go by the worksheet, K? and hang in there
it's a great start!
PS: for flavoring extra-lean ground beef (yech! plain) I use a sugarfree taco seasoning that's home-made and very simple: some chili powder, some hot sauce, some salt, some garlic and chopped parsley to taste (if enough parsley, I count it to my 1 Cup of Shredded Green Leafy Stuff for the day).
