Because your veggie carbs at CMs are limited to 2 grams per serving.
You girls don't need to be so disappointed--you can have zucchini every single day if you like. You just need to have it at RMs.
As far as why some things can be done on Atkins that can't be done on CAD, it works both ways. But you can't mix the two together. You can't do low-carb for 2/3 of your day, but throw in a couple higher-carb things (like nuts), AND eat more frequently than CAD says, and then have high-carb at dinner. If you do that...well then you're back to the typical American diet, more or less. The only diet you'll find that allows you to eat anything, any time, with modifications here, there and everywhere, is the one that most likely got you on the road to dieting in the first place. It's a personal decision, though. If you want to eat more frequently and if you want to eat Atkins-approved foods not only once a day but throughout the day...then you may as well do Atkins. Everyone is an individual and you have to do what's best for you.
