When I'm traveling and eating out a lot... or staying with people... I just stick to a few simple "rules"... Basically I just skip the bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes... and stick with a decent amount of the protein portion of the meal (meat, chicken, or fish) with veggies and salad... and as far as snacks and treats go I just stick to lower carb options... not sure what phase of Atkins you're in... but I know for me when I was tempted to "cheat".... I would have some nuts if it was something salty that I was craving... and I would have some fruit or dark chocolate if it was something sweet... better choices carb wise, even if it might not be exactly "on plan" for me just yet... sort of my own little version of diet "damage control"... lol... it definitely helped to keep me on track... and not let the carbs just get completely out of control...
