Kris - I looked over a few days of your fitday journals. First off I would like to point out that one of the primary differences between Atkins and PP is the believe that too much protein converts to gluclose. This is simply not true, if it were PP would not work for anyone. Our Rob is a perfect example of this
Here are a few suggestions:
Replace your salad dressings with lighter versions even if the carbs are slightly higher. I was using Paul Newmans Ceasar dressing at a whopping 150 calories per 2 TBS and I always used way more than 2 TBS! I poured out 3/4 of the oil and started buying the Lite dressings. Another good idea is to replace some of the salads with cooked veggies. I stopped counting carbs from veggies when I switched to PP. I eat as much as I want (except for starchy ones) and I use a teaspoon or two of butter for flavor. This will save you alot of fat and calories.
Replace your high fat snacks with things like lf string cheese, HB egg, 1-2 oz meat (chicken legs, ham, turkey), small serving of fruit (berries, melon, 1/2 apple), yogurt, cottage cheese, 1/2 Carbwise bar, etc.
Cut back on red meat and replace with chicken/fish when possible.
Hope this helps
