Could this be why i am going to the bathroom more than usual 
I started atkins yesterday and have been going poop like twice a day. It isnt hard or anything, and it usually kind of is. I am wandering if it is because i am eating so much protein and more vegetables than usual and less carbs and soda and junk.
Could that be what it is?
Is that pretty common?
Not sure if i am going to stick with atkins or not. Still trying to get the hang of it.
Any tips if you have done it.

Why are you doing Atkins? I lasted 2 days on it (years ago)
I have heard it will affect your...restroom habits so I guess that may be it

Yes, it is extremely common. Whenever you increase protein and fiber, you tend to have more frequency of stool.

more vegetables will do that to you, kind of clean you out at first.
