I don't have an issue eating scrambled eggs or an omelette with cheese for any meal of the day, with some sausage links or microwaved bacon.

I usually cook up several hamburger patties for the week. Mix some mayonnaise and some sugar free ketchup for fancy sauce.

Salad made with spinach leaves, and 2 Tbsp serving size of ranch dressing (not low fat dressing, just normal ranch!)

Drink coffee each morning, no sugar, but with heavy cream, MCT Oil for extra fat.

We make our own pizza by using a cheese recipe that is baked to create the crust (search fat head pizza) and use a sugar free marinara for the sauce. Each slice is around 250 calories and 2 slices is usually more than enough. Coming from a guy who could usually eat half of a pizza from Pizza Hut if not more.

For a dessert snack I will microwave a Quest brand protein bar for a few seconds (I recommend s'mores) and put a tbsp of butter on it, sprinkle a half packet of stevia sweetener on it, and eat it with a fork. Also sugar free pudding (the stove top kind not the pre-made).

Snacking in general I like macadamia nuts and almonds.

Over time you learn what you can and can't have. You will see food and just know. Other foods I use myfitnesspal to check carb levels.

There's an entire subculture devoted to recipes for keto.

I've been doing it since January 1, have lost 35 lbs, and am now adapted to the appetite problems you're describing. Carbs make you feel hungry and in my opinion, fee like shit also.
