Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see leafy greens, spinach, broccoli or other low-carb, fiber-rich vegetables mentioned anywhere in your grocery list. You are permitted up to 20g net carbs per day of these foods (ie, total carbs minus the grams of fiber, since fiber is not absorbed).

My suggestion is that you keep non-vegetable sources of carbs to a minimum .. eg .. coffee (even decaf has carbs!), cream and cheese, eggs have 0.6g each, powdered artificial sweeteners, sausages, bacon and the like have carbs, salad dressings etc etc etc ... and use up your carb budget mostly with green vegetables. That's just a suggestion though, and not written as a rule in Atkins book.
