To get a "Well-constructed low-carbohydrate meal plans that is nutritionally adequate in adults." We should use "Net Carbs" and a wide variety of foods …or it is low in some nutrients and fiber. A food list that was less than 20g total carbs, only 2 c. Salad, 1 c. Veg! was not healthy for me long-term. This menu looks great, but to be fair, the authors have a COI with Atkins and Quest. Hard to get study funding otherwise.
