Well, from looking over your menu, a couple of things are missing... as in fruits and veg. And not only that, but you are eating a LOT of nuts and cheese. Both are fine in moderation, but you're eating almost half a cup of each in a day. They may be low carb and cal. dense, but you really need to be throwing some fruit and veg in there. Keep the eggs, but maybe instead of having bread, cheese, and almonds, why not a half a cup of fresh berries? You could even put some home-made whipped cream (made with Splenda or Sweetleaf) on top! YUM! Or even throw some veg into your eggs? Then for lunch, instead of more eggs, why not a big garden salad and maybe a small cup of soup (or even just broth if you prefer). Snack isn't bad as long as it isn't every day and you mix it up. Some days have cheese and fruit, some days nuts and fruit. Or even LC yogurt. I like Greek a lot! Your dinner looks fine, but if you wanted you could always do a different snack and have your cheese on your broccoli! Lower carbs doesn't have to mean boring and no choices. I eat better now than I EVER have! Just mix it up and don't get in a rut. You have to keep it balanced and get those veggies and some LC fruit in there too. Even some melons are fairly low! You can eat lower carbs and lower cal. with some moderate fat in there and lose just fine. Just don't go TOO far one way or the other for what you're trying to achieve.
