This is what i have heard so far...so its what ive been going by..But basically i keep my net carbs down to 20 net and i get my caloric content ranging between 700-850.
But i also work out for 30 minutes and burn 200 calories a day doing exercise..so i factor that in as well.

The caloric values and carb values i got an average from looking at what 3 packets plus a typical dinner would look like..and from there used that..since i use a RTD that is higher in caloric value .. i only drink two of those a day..plus my dinner meal of 8oz of steak..so this is what it looks like for me:
Breaky: Chocolate RTD atkins shake = 1 NET and 150 calories
I add 1/2 scoop of my whey powder and it = 200 calories, 21 grams of protein and 2 grams of Net Carbs
Lunch: same as above
Dinner: 2 cups of veggies of on allowed list plus 8oz beef tenderloin steak = 250-300 calories plus 1/2 cup homemade bbq sauce(4net carbs)
plus a tsp of olive oil i cook my steak in and sea salt on top
Dessert:stewed rubarb 2 cups.. with xylitol to sweeten it.
This is an example of what my day would look like...so all in all.. ive averaged about 750-800 calories for the day + 8 net carbs(not including veggs yet)
But as i said: THIS IS ALTERNATIVE...not following strict IP protocol
