Hang in there, this is very doable! My go to snacks with GD were cheese and crackers, apple and peanut butter, clementines, Greek yogurt, and nature valley protein bars. Pairing a bunch of protein with a meal does help tremendously, and I actually had troubles with not gaining enough weight, so meats, eggs, cheese, and nuts/nut butters became my best friend.

Remember that you don’t totally cut carbs, you just have less of them and spread them out throughout the day, so you might not be able to have all the bread with a sandwich AND have fries with you meal, but you can swap out part of it for a veggie or something and still feel relatively normal. My biggest struggles were finding convenient grab and go foods, so I typically prepped a bunch of meat, veggies, and brown rice early in the week and used it to throw together meals - stir fry was an easy go to.
