Those doing low carb: what do you typically eat in a day?

I try to eat less than 100g of carbs a day. I eat a lot of fish and eggs but I also fit in other higher carb foods in moderation. That is the key....moderation.

I do total carbs. I don't have the time or energy to do the math on every item, but I understand some countries display the nutritional information differently. At the end whatever floats your boat, I don't think 100g is a magic number or anything but I feel good on it, so it works for me.

I lost weight on Atkins, so initially very low carb, then I think I went up to about 50g. That was several years ago. I maintain by counting calories, not carbs because I found low-carb too limiting. The only way I was able to stick to the diet for several months was by having a few 'cheats' every week or two. Still, I did lose 45 pounds.

Breakfast was scrambled eggs with either veggies, ham or sausage.

Lunch was salad with eggs, cheese, meat, etc. or just cold cuts.

Dinner was pretty much a normal dinner, but without the starch part. i.e. chili without beans, spaghetti without pasta, no potatoes with my meat and vegetables, etc.

Snacks were usually cheese or hard boiled eggs.

Simply cutting out sweets is what probably did the most to help me lose weight, since snacks are a huge part of my calories, even now. Figuring out how much of that I can eat without gaining took time. The other thing that low carb taught me was that I don't need french fries or large servings of pasta or a starch with my dinner. If I'm not really active, meat and one or two vegetables is enough.

Right now I am very low carb with no plants- health experiment - beyond coffee and stevia... And diet Pepsi.

I've also lost weight easily when carbs were below 20-30 g. Above that my appetite increases and weight loss stops. That really varies between people. At that time I ate pretty normal but I skipped baked goods, foods or sauces with (much) added sugar, noodles and rice, and I really limited my starchy root vegetables. You are eating almost 5 times as many carbs as I did so you'll have a lot more choices : eat fruit more often, have a small potato instead of a few bites. Etc. meat and a side of veggies was typically my meals.

What has been working for me are Cobb salads (chicken, bacon, avocado, cheese, ranch dressing, etc., minus corn, minus croutons, etc.). But I've been trying to eat a high fat diet on an experimental basis. Otherwise, I tend to substitute lettuce leaves for buns and bread on sandwiches. I eat a lot of sauteed veggies.

erm... produce, fresh cut, instead of grain-based snacks. beef jerky. Hard boiled eggs and egg whites. There's this almond flour cracker that's pretty good, but I have to be careful because there are still carbs in them. Stuff like that.

When I was on a super low carb diet I used to eat eggs,meat,canned tuna, that’s mostly what I ate not doing that anymore tho
