Question Induction and BFL Combo Menu?'s (Long Post)

I am on Induction and will be starting BFL next week. I was wondering how everyone else fuses the two plans together. I have read ever post in the BFL section of this forum, but don't see a sample menu. I don't want to go over 25 or 30 carbs. I have learned a lot from this forum, but I will be reading the book this weekend. I am a cardio addict so this is a HUGE step for me to try BFL! I am unable to do the 20 min cardio sessions in the morning on an empty stomach during the work week. My workouts will be around 4:15 M-F.

Meal #1 7:30 A.M.
3 Scrambled Eggs
3 pieces Bacon
Diet Swiss Miss Hot Choc w/Splenda
Water

Meal #2 9:30 A.M.
EAS Carb Control Choc Shake
Water

Meal #3 1:00 P.M.
Small Side Salad-Romaine, Bacon Bits and Fresh Parm Cheese
Hamburger-Let, Tom, Must and Mayo
Water

Meal #4 3:00 P.M.
14 slices of Pepporoni
3 oz of Cream Cheese
Water

4:15 Workout
Water

Meal #5 6:00 P.M.
EAS Carb Control Choc Shake (low fat-4 grms/high protein/low carb)
Water

Meal #6 7:30 P.M.
1 Fit-n-Easy Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (high protein/low fat)
1 medium tomato (high carb/minimal fiber)
Water

The totals according to Fitday are:

Calories 1766
Fat 131 68%
Protein 120 27%
Carbs 25 5%

It's really tough to follow the basic rules of induction with 70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs and follow the instructions with BFL. The two plans conflict each other a lot. I'm scared to move up to OWL because I want to lose!

My concern is my calories here because I would like to keep them between 1450-1650. The really tough part was trying to come up with a post work out meal that's high in protein and carbs but low in fiber and fat.

Also, this seems like a lot of eating and a lot of food! Is it true that I will feel like I'm gaining in the first week due to water retention? Should I use green tea for water rentention?

Help me please! I really want to do both plans and whip my body into a machine and I want to do it right! Am I on the right track here?

Thanks!
