Hi! You can start by browsing the vegetarian forum, but when it comes to vegetarian products like tofu and garden burgers, you have to do the label reading. The different brands vary quite a bit. I'm in Canada, and I don't think they sell the same brands of stuff down there.

Hummus is pretty much out - chickpeas are quite high in carbs.

I wouldn't be any good at helping you make a meal plan because I don't even do that for myself. I make it up as I go along, just making sure that I take my supplements and get at least three servings of vegetables per day. I think that's the beauty of Atkins: if you just stick to the permitted foods, you don't need to plan - it's hard to go over 20 g of carbs.

Are you really determined to do Atkins? It's possible to be done vegeterian style, but something like Protein Power might suit you better. You're allowed a few more carbs. On Atkins, it's hard to limit carbs to 20 when you're eating those soy products.
