I'm not lactose intolerant, but my usual keto diet would accommodate it if I left out yoghurt, cheese and butter. So - protein sources meat fish and eggs, any green vegetables, would all be okay.

Usual brunch. Teatime 1 dry cracker. Dinner, cottage pie with broccoli, cauliflower, sprouts and a carrot. 1 and a half glasses red wine. No chocolate has appeared so I guess none for tonight.
