I just wanted to add a bit more to the post above. The adkins website is great but where you really need your information is here:

that is the breakdown of what you can and cannot have..

Just saw your reply regarding beef jerky....The breakfast of champions!!! I am at work now and did not have time to grab something thids morning before work, so I just ran out and grabbed some beef jerky and of course a huge bottle of water.
I sympathize with you about it being difficult while at work. We work right next to a Chinese restaurant and on the other side is a pizzaria!!! I did find out however that my eggdrop soup is about 2 grams!!! I used to order lunch from them 2-3 times a week...until I started this diet that is!

Other choices for Chinese restaurant is: egg foo young pancakes w/ no gravy or rice but I use a little hot chilli oil and soy sauce or steamed protein and veggies w/ the same chili oil and soy sauce.

Me and DH love the asian type restaurants such as Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese. I have learned to adapt as much as possible.

As for the pizzeria - just have them make you a cheese steak sandwich with fried onions and/or mushrooms without the roll or a chef salad w/ high fat dressing.

Do you suppose they use flour in the pancakes?

Fitday doesn't have that listed in the ingredients. I would believe even if used would be neglegable. Maybe past induction????

I haven't had an issue with it...

Great! I will check it out and try them!

Thanks you Smurfy!!! Your the best I've been trying to find the "official" site for days! ....seems like everyone but Dr. ATkins is advertising his site...I couldn't find it in his book and everytime I try to guess I get sites like this....actually this one was a blessing!
