I am somewhat bigger than you are, and I exercise regularly (45 minutes to an hour five days a week). I think that if I were eating what you are eating I would gain weight -- at a minimum I know that I would not lose weight. Can you cut out some of the cream/sweets/high calorie snacks? I very occasionally eat cream as a treat, but I eat it knowing that it will stall my weight loss. If I snack after dinner, it also totally stalls my weight loss. I make sure to eat enough at dinner that I am not hungry later in the evening.

You might try entering what you are eating into fitday.com to see exactly how many calories and how many grams of carbs are in your daily diet. I noticed that someone said to try to 10x to 12x times your weight in calories. In my opinion, that rule does not apply to people over 200 pounds. I think trying for 10x to 12x your goal weight is more realistic. We don't have to count calories on Atkins, but calories do count.

You also might try posting your question and typical menu in the Triple Digits Club (listed under lowcarb support focus groups) so that people of similar weight to you are more likely to see it.

This is a typical daily menu for me:

Breakfast: cottage cheese with some blueberries or strawberries

Lunch: large salad (spinach or lettuce, red pepper, cucumber, whatever else is around), meat, cheese, egg and/or tunafish on top of the salad, homemade olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing. Sometimes I put half an avocado on the salad if I am particularly hungry.

Snack (occasional -- not every day): Some nuts or a piece of cheese or a piece of meat or a few more berries or a small piece of melon or a sliced up cucumber.

Dinner: Small salad with olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing; meat, fish, or chicken; cooked vegetable with butter on top.

Lots of plain water through-out the day.

On weekends I often have a bigger breakfast -- an omelet or scrambled eggs -- and I am more likely to snack on weekends than on workdays.
