looking around at other people's menus, it seems like i'm totally off with my menus. my calorie count is high, averaging, oh, let's say 2000-ish. and my protein count is always way over 100g (yesterday it was about 150 g and it's been as high as 200g). i don't know how people can manage to keep it under 100g

i was wondering if anyone might be able to take a look at my past fitday journals and tell me what i should change. most days are fairly the same, as i'm lazy and keepng things the same is easier. i keep reading that your calories need to be in the 1400-1500 range and protein should be 70-100g? i'm way over that, but i don't know what to change or what i should replace. i've just been going by the atkins book, which basically says to eat "liberally of meats and natural fats". that seems to be the opposite of what some other atkins followers are doing though, leaving me very confused.

i'm on strict induction and won't eat any bars or shakes. and try to eat as unprocessed as possible (so no deli meats, except occasionally pepperoni). and i don't like eggs. can't eat fruit or nuts. veggies are supposed to be limited to 3 cups a day, two of which i use in my salad. i drink tons of water, between 5-9 liters a day and do cardio 4-5 times a week. ergh, i'm just frustrated that i've been doing this all wrong because my weight loss is super slow and i'm thinking it's the food. there just seem to be a lot of mixed messages because the atkins book says to "eat liberally" of induction foods and not count calories and doesn't give a set protein amount, yet here everyone is counting calories and protein.

so, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
