Hi and welcome!

Have a look at this thread. It is where we post what we eat on a daily basis, successes, failures, snacks, ideas and general chunterings.

Try my bread...http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/nelis-bread_-best-ever-low-carb-bread-in-5-min.101236/

I keep some small packets of pork scratchings as a snack, and they're great, but it is hard to eat just one small packet. I also have Miso soup sachets which are very handy too. I do find I'm craving salty umami flavours when I want a snack so both these are great. We always have nice cheese at home and I often cut up a few bits or have one of those waffer-thin crackers with seeds on it with spready cheese.

People swear by boiled eggs, but I find if I've cooked them, I'm **** well going to eat them rather than throw them away if I don't really need them. I find I can get away with a small piece of fruit without much effect on my BG too, but you'd have to test to see if that worked for you.

I seem to be able to snack on strawberries and raspberries. About 1/2 cup of either (but not both). I get the frozen ones as they are cheaper and thaw nicely (I do drink the liquid also after thawing). I've also made nut/seed bars (I've got a thread asking advice on making them). They run around 5 to 6g of carbs per bar. You should calculate when you make them so you know for sure.

For breakfast I usually have two slices of turkey bacon (lower sodium then real bacon) and two eggs. If I have the eggs sunny side I will have a piece of low carb bread (currently the bread I bought has about 10g carbs per slice). If scrambled or omelette I skip the toast. Add mushrooms, onion, ham to the omelette some times.

Lunch is usually left over supper. Some times if I skipped the bread at breakfast I make myself a flat bread pizza. I use a flat bread called "Flat Out" Multi-grain & flax. Has about 9g carbs per. Then top with meat, mushroom, onion and cheese. Also sometime have salad (mixed greens) with tin tuna and dressing of choice (currently a sundried tomato type).

Supper is chicken, beef, pork which ever I feel like. Sometime BBQ some times fried and some time baked. Trick here is to try different spices. As for veg, I like most but gave up the carb/starchy ones like corn. I try to stick to the green mostly. Cauliflower is my go to as you can do so much with it and top it with all kinds of stuff. One of my new favourite meals is salmon on the BBQ with lemon pepper (don't try to flip it and no direct heat) or done in the oven. Steamed cauliflower and cover it all in a lemon dill sauce.

Hope this wall of text helps give you some ideas.
