David,
I think a lot will depend on what stage of Atkins you're in..I'm no expert either..but I'm pretty sure that the protein you can eat during the induction stage is un-limited...just eating enough to feel full...
If you don't have THE BOOK....try going down on the page to where it says to "select a forum" and go to the induction phase...a lot of good information is there...
This forum has given me waaaaay more information that I got from reading the book from cover to cover...the people here really care..I'm sure someone, who knows more than I do, will show up soon to give you more of an answer...
Am curious as to where you are...seeings as it's hot and you're sweating a lot..I'm in California and it's raining and super windy and cold out right now...
Anyway....welcome...stick with it....and keep posting...
Lynn
