How many carbs do you want to drop to?
Have you got time to make your own food, or are we talking fast on the go food?
How many carbs are you presently eating?

I only ask these questions as I didn't realise till looking around this forum that I was actually eating low carb all my life practically.. Just that I should have been having more fat.

Nope fraid you have to learn to read packets like the rest of us.
Having said that meat cheese and eggs are free as long as they aren't interfered with ie breadcrumbed or battered. Veg=good apart from root veg and potatoes fruit = bad.

My menu includes
Frozen summerfruit berries (defrosted of course!) with full fat greek yogurt..with a teaspoon of chia seeds and ground flax seed.
Salmon (with ginger chilli sauce) and salad or asparagus, runner beans and leeks etc. (Takes just 20 mins to cook and can normally find fresh Salmon in reduced cabinets where I tend to buy it all and freeze it).
Cheese.. Anything.
Walnuts
Paleo Blueberry muffin or a lemon mascarpone cheese pud with berries such as strawberries, blueberries and cherries on top.
Meat and veg (without potatos or yorkies is low carb).
I love higgildy piggidly crustless quiche or waitrose crustless quiche or make my own if I have time.
Zucchini (courgette) lasagne home made is to die for..my hubby prefers it to normal lasagne, but it takes a bit of experimenting with drying off the courgettes after baked...
We have staple foods of ground almonds, coconut flour and coconut oil and cheeses, cream and full fat milk. Breakfast is pretty much the berries and yogurt ( berries taken out and put in a ramekin overnight with a plate on).
Really depends on whether you are wanting pre made easy reading of labels, or whether you have time to cook from scratch.
On days when I am really working physically very hard I have a quick cheat though... A complan drink with almond milk and another teaspoon of chia and flax seeds.. Only because I need to get my calories up and this is the easiest way for me to do it. I know that adds the carbs in,but I so often need to add the calories in. I love complan drinks so this is a quick fix for me.
