Chilli con carne inside a cooked pepper.
Bolognaise on top of cooked field mushroom , cheese on top. I try to have low refined carbs! When I can! Difficult when very hungry!

Yup. Meat and veg baked inside peppers or mushrooms or zuchinni, lots of stir fry, eggs and veggies, unsweetened egg custards, always have some roasted meat in your fridge/freezer and you can make a meal quickly.

I would say meats. Leftover fish, canned tuna or salmon, a chicken breast grilled or stirfried with veggies. Leftover steak or roast.

Are you avoiding increasing fats? The majority of low carbers who have an ideal or appropriate protein intake increase their fat intake rather than mess with a good protein level. Low carbers often have a fat intake of over 50%; mine is 70-75%. Eating high fat opens the door to full fat salad dressings, nuts, olives, avocados, more coconut oil, cheese, fattier cuts of meat, and bacon.

My fat intake so far has been around 50 to 60% each day
