If this is a whole day's worth, it doesn't seem that you're getting enough veggies. Even on induction, you get three cups of salad greens (or 2 cups of salad and a cup of other vegetable). You might want to review the sample 20 gms of carbs menu in the induction chapter of DANDR.

Don't forget, this is a low carb nutritional program, not a no carb one. (BTW, there's not much benefit to aiming at UNDER 20 carbs a day.)
