HOW TO USETHE ATKINS CARB COUNTERTHE CARB COUNTER is an invaluable tool to help track your daily carb intake andplan meals. In concert with the Acceptable Foods Lists that precede it, the CarbCounter also assists you in reintroducing foods as you move from one phase to thenext or increase your carb intake within a phase. In fact, before you delve into the CarbCounter, check out the lists of Acceptable (and Unacceptable) Foods for each phase of theprogram, which start on page 3.Tuck this booklet into your purse or pocket when you go shopping to look for certainbrands or compare others with the ones listed in the following pages. The Carb Counter isthe perfect partner to the new free Atkins Mobile App, which includes a robust food search,daily meal planner and progress tracker, as well as an overview of each phase of the AtkinsDiet. For more on the app, see Chain Restaurants on page 61.Organizing PrinciplesCategories are listed alphabetically, as are items within each of the 24 categories. Brandnames of processed foods are provided when necessary for clarity. Items such as fruit andvegetables are listed generically. The amount listed for each item is the one indicated on thepackage as a single serving. However, it’s not necessarily an appropriate portion for Atkins,which is why the first column for each food is labeled “amount” instead. Sometimes theamounts are provided in cups, tablespoons or teaspoons; in other cases, they’re in ounces.We’ve used the measurements provided by ESHA, a nutritional database compiled from thelatest U.S. Department of Agriculture data. (Abbreviations appear on page 3.)ESHA is also the primary source of the per-serving content of carbohydrate and fiber,as well as sugar alcohols, including glycerin (noncaloric sweeteners), from which Net Carbsare calculated. (See “Counting Carbs?”on page 2.) The numbers under the Net Carbs column refer to grams of Net Carbs. For products not listed in ESHA, we’ve used serving sizesand other data provided by the manufacturer.1
The Right ChoicesAbbreviations and SymbolsAccording to Progressive Grocer magazine, the typical well-stocked supermarket containsalmost 39,000 items, encompassing thousands of brands. Although the Atkins Carb Counterprovides an extensive list of low-carb foods, it clearly cannot include all of them. Nonetheless, the selection that follows, as well as offerings from major chain restaurants, providesa myriad of Atkins-friendly foods.Also included are a number of foods that are unacceptable for one or more reasonsand others that are best avoided. Some are just outrageously high in carbs. In other cases,two brands of a certain item may initially seem the same but one of them contains ingredients you’re better off not consuming. Footnotes at the bottom of each page clarify suchinformation.We have abbreviated a number of terms that occur with frequency, as listed below.C cuplg largepkg packageT tablespoondia diameterlb poundsl slicew/ withea eachmed mediumsm smallw/o withoutenv envelopeoz ouncesq square" inch less thang grampkt packett teaspoonWhat to AvoidFor example, manufactured trans fats, which are hydrogenated or partially hydrogenatedoils, have no place in a healthy diet. Even if you stay away from sugary treats, added sugar(under numerous aliases) turns up in bread, sauces, marinades and salad dressings, to namejust a few products. We also alert you to the presence of white flour, cornstarch and otherrefined grains, as well as certain fats. Most ofus get up to 40 times as much omega-6 fats asomega-3 fats in our diet because the formerare used in most processed foods. Ideally, theratio should be 1 to 1.That’s why we recommend you not cookwith certain oils or eat products that containthem. Specifically, steer clear of soybean, regular safflower—the high-oleic type is fine—corn and peanut oil, as well as “vegetable” oil,which can contain any of the above.In addition to relying on the Carb Counter,it’s a good idea to become a careful reader ofNutritional Facts panels on processed foods,which allow you to calculate grams of NetCarbs. Be sure to also scan the list of ingredients to make sure that hidden sugars and otherproblematic ingredients discussed above aren’t included.Note: Again, just because a food is listed doesn’t mean that it’s acceptable on theAtkins Diet. Some foods are included to allow you to compare those high in carbs withmore appropriate foods.2ACCEPTABLE FOODS LISTSWhen you’re just starting out on Atkins, this “cheat sheet” can help you remember whatyou can and cannot eat in each phase. More extensive lists appear in the categories in theCarb Counter, as noted below. All Atkins brand products are coded on the package forappropriate phases.Acceptable Foods in Phase 1, Induction All fish and shellfish, but no pickled orcreamed herring with added sugar, artificial crab (surimi or “sea legs”) or otherprocessed, battered or breaded products.Also, limit clams, oysters and mussels toabout 2 ounces a day.

ATKINS & OTHERLOW-CARB SPECIALTYFOODSThe full array of Atkins Nutritionals products appears below, including a newline of frozen meals. Also listed is a sprinkling of choices from other companies thatspecialize in low-carb products. Many websites that sell such products provide moreextensive lists. There are no guidelines onwhat makes a food low carb. Most Atkinsproducts have been tested on people togauge their glycemic impact. We cannotvouch for the carb counts provided by othermanufacturers. Some products marketedas low carb contain added sugars and whiteflour, so read ingredient lists carefully. We’venoted when products contain sugar alcohols, as excessive consumption can resultin gastric distress. Again, to calculate NetCarbs, subtract not just fiber but also sugaralcohols from grams of total carbs. Otherlow-carb products appear in Breads, Crackers, Tortillas & Wraps, Baking Ingredients, Candy, Desserts and Snacks.NetAmount CarbsAtkins Nutritionals ProductsAtkins Advantage Meal BarsChocolate Chip1 bar 3.0Cookie Dough 11 bar 3.0Chocolate Chip Granola 11 bar 2.0Chocolate Peanut Butter 112NetAmount CarbsCinnamon Bun 11 bar1 barCookies ‘n Crème 11 barMudslide 11 barPeanut Butter Granola 11 barPeanut Fudge Granola 11 barStrawberry Almond 1Atkins Advantage Snack BarsCaramel Chocolate1 barPeanut Nougat 1Caramel Double1 barChocolate Crunch 1Caramel Chocolate Nut Roll 1 1 bar1 barCaramel Fudge Brownie 11 barCashew Trail Mix 11 barCoconut Almond Delight 1Dark Chocolate Almond1 barCoconut Crunch 1Dark Chocolate Decadence 1 1 bar1 barTriple Chocolate 1Atkins AdvantageReady-to-Drink ShakesCafé CaramelDark Chocolate RoyaleFrench VanillaMilk Chocolate DelightMocha LatteStrawberryAtkins Day Break BarsApple Crisp 1Cherry Pecan 131 shake1 shake1 shake1 shake1 shake1 2.02.01.02.02.01.01 bar 4.01 bar 6.04Contains: sugar alcohol cornstarch and/or white or rice flour added sugar soybean oil6NetAmount CarbsChocolate Chip Crisp 11 bar1 barChocolate Hazelnut 11 barChocolate Oatmeal Fiber 11 barCranberry Almond 1Oatmeal Cinnamon1 barBaked Square 1Peanut Butter Fudge Crisp 1 1 bar1 barVanilla Fruit & Nut 1Atkins Day BreakReady-to-Drink ShakesCreamy Chocolate1 shakeStrawberry Banana1 shakeWild Berry1 shakeAtkins Endulge Bars1 barCaramel Nut Chew 1Chocolate Caramel Mousse 1 1 bar1 barChocolate Coconut 11 barNutty Fudge Brownie 11 barPeanut Butter Cups 11 barPeanut Caramel Cluster 1Atkins CuisineAll Purpose Baking Mix1/3 CPenne Pasta, dry1/2 CAtkins Breakast Frozen MealsFarmhouse-StyleSausage Scramble1 trayTex-Mex Scramble1 trayAtkins Entrée Frozen MealsBeef Merlot1 trayChicken & Broccoli Alfredo 1 03.05.019.05.05.06.05.0NetAmount CarbsChile Con CarneCrustless Chicken Pot PieItalian Sausage PrimaveraMeatloaf w/ PortobelloMushroom GravyRoasted Turkey w/ HerbPan Gravy1 tray 4.01 tray 5.01 tray 5.01 tray 7.01 tray 6.0Other Low Carb ProductsBaking & Cooking ProductsBetter Bowls Sugar FreeGelatin Mix, all flavors,1/2 CpreparedPudding Mix, Chocolate 2,prepared w/ whole milk 1/2 CPudding Mix, Vanilla 2,prepared w/ whole milk 1/2 CBig Train Low Carb1TBreading & Batter Mix 21 eaBrownie Mix, baked 1, 2, 3Chocolate Chip Cookie1 eaMix 2, 3, preparedPeanut Butter Cookie1 eaMix 2, 3, preparedBob’s Red Mill Low Carb1 slBread Mix 3, preparedCarLO CARBiano Low CarbReady to Heat Pizza Crust 1 eaDixie Diners’ Carb CountersAngel Food Cake Mix,5.2 : sugar alcohol cornstarch and/or white or rice flour added sugar soybean oil7

Pepperoni, salami and the likeare also often cured with sugar. Sausagesand frankfurters may contain fillers that addto the carb count.

BREADS, CRACKERS,TORTILLAS & WRAPSThe Net Carb counts provided for different types of bread are averages becauseboth carb counts and ingredients can varysignificantly from one brand to another.Always check the Nutritional Facts panel aswell as the list of ingredients. Omitted arebagels, rolls, pastries and other conventionalbaked goods, which are almost always veryhigh in carbs and full of refined white flourand/or added sugar.
