breakfast: 1 hard boiled egg

lunch: salad-baby spinach, low fat cheese, turkey with ranch

supper: baked chicken, broccolli
Am I eating enough? Am I getting everything I need? Do I need to exclude any of my choices?
That is ok for Phase 2, but for phase 1 not so much. It also isn't very much food or calories. Have you ever used Fitday? I would plug your daily menus into fitday and make sure you are getting at least 1200 calories.
Breakfast should include veggies of some sort - even something simple like v-8 juice.
no fruit on P1.
lunch, make sure the ranch is sugar free and only 2 T. are allowed.
the second snack and dinner look ok.
I don't see any dairy - 2 cups a day is recommended (milk is ok on SBD, unlike Atkins). More veggies! 4.5 cups a day is the recommended amount! You could also throw some legumes (black beans, kidney beans, chick peas, lentils, etc.) on your salad to up the protein and deliver some good carbs.
Make sure to read the P1 appropriate food list!
