Then I eat two meals a day, lunch and dinner (no snacking) approx 6 hrs apart...

You don’t have to have traditional breakfast foods for breakfast. Sometimes I just have cheese and flackers. I found a yogurt that has only 2g of carbs. It’s called Two Good. If I can get it on my island, I’m sure it’s everywhere! (I like to mix in berries or some keto granola). I’ve also noticed there’s skyr here and so I’m guessing it must be getting big on the mainland US as well— some brands have very low carbs. We ate it every day when visiting Iceland last year. If I know my lunch and dinner are going to truly be very low carb, then I may have some cottage cheese as mentioned. I like mine plain but you could add a few berries to that as well. Sometimes I’ll have just sausage. There’s a quick bar that I found at Costco that’s called a Ratio bar and it doesn’t affect my blood sugar. It says 2net carbs. I’m always leery of processed foods and their marketing but it does good in a pinch. If I don’t think my breakfast is filling enough, I’ll grab a 1/4c of nuts to supplement. When I was growing up, my mom would get incited bacon from a local butcher that was thick cut and make a heartier version of a BLT. Using a keto bread or chaffle would work for that. I’ve been thinking about trying that recently. I, too, am getting tired of eggs. When I do make them, I try to mix up the ways. One of my favorite things is to mix scrambled eggs and 2oz leftover steak (cut into bite sized pieces) and use a tsp of A1 in droplets over it. Just enough flavor difference to drown out the eggs. Or I’ll make that into a sandwich with keto bread and add a bit of mayo instead of A1.
