That looks like a pretty good menu to me, but I would also get rid of the bars, mostly because they're 'Frankenfood' and they do cause a lot of people to stall. I read one person's post, though, where they said the CarbWise bars worked a lot better for them than the Atkins bars. With the focus of Atkins being on whole nutrient-rich foods, I'm not even sure why they make that stuff.

You can also set up an account at http://www.fitday.com and enter your food daily. It's very handy because it tells you how many calories, carbs, fiber, etc. you've consumed for the day. You can also check your nutrient count to see if you're getting close to 100% RDA on vitamins. I really like that feature.

Additionally, if you find yourself not losing weight, try eliminating the salty foods (Slim Jims, ham, bacon) and using them only occasionally. I usually allow myself a couple of servings of salty food a week, because much more and I start harboring water (but not everyone does that).

Best of luck to you!
