    My usual ones are celery with almond butter, smoked salmon on cucumber slices with cream cheese, turkey jerky (but check the nutrition to ensure no added sugar), tomatoes and small amounts of fresh mozzarella, pepperoni and peppers. And yes, nuts. But be careful with nuts...just a tablespoon or so or it adds up!

    For meals I have omelets for breakfast or keto pancakes (google the recipe, it’s basically eggs, cream cheese and almond flour), and for dinners and lunches I eat a ton of salads with protein or a chicken breast or piece of fish with bunch of veggies and some healthy fats.

    Thinly-sliced salami, peanut butter, macadamia nuts, deli turkey, and homemade fat bombs are go-tos for me in addition to the stuff you mentioned, but what really keeps me going is adding small amounts higher-carb foods to those lower-carb ones. With a handful of macadamias you can eat a pretty generous amount of raspberries; an avocado will get you a small glass of milk. Being able to eat some quantity of things that aren't ketogenic in and of themselves makes for a lot more variety, and makes the eating plan more sustainable to me.

    Pinterest is your friend for recipe ideas, and so is MFP! There are tons of keto-ers here with open diaries (myself included) or with diaries visible if you add them as friends, and I've gotten some new ideas from them. There's also a group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group where there are a bunch of people in the same boat. :)

    And don't eat a lot of fat if you are trying to lose your own fat
