Have you considered taking an apple with you for the evening, and/or a little baggie of nuts? I find that taking food with me prevents me from building up too much of an appetite and overindulging.
I'm not on atkins, and I'm pesca-vegetarian now, but my daily eating habits have consisted of generally thus for the last few months:
morning: bowl of delight: fat/sugar-free yogurt flavored with splenda, a serving of (melted) frozen berries, a half-cup of Trader Joe's flaxseed cereal for fiber and cruch and good fat. Some hot tea. I keep the tea, the cereal, and the disposable bowls at work, and I bring the fruit and yogurt with me every morning.
noon: the second half of yesterday's dinner. As an example, a yellow pepper stuffed with 1/4 cup rice, tomato sauce, and chopped tofurkey "sausage" with a little skim mozzerella on top. Serving of broccoli.
afternoon snack: a piece of fruit. Some nuts.
dinner: the first half of tomorrow's lunch. Today as an example, lemon-cilantro tofu curry with eggplant. If I'm treating myself, a skinny cow ice cream sandwich for snack in the evening.
Water throughout the day.
