To answer you and pegushin, I do indeed eat the same things often, but I'm OK
with that because of the results I get from it.

For breakfast I have 16 ounces of coffee (not something many here will do) with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.

Sometimes I don't eat any lunch, but I usually do. I often eat a couple of servings of sunflower seeds, the ones in the shell because they take longer to eat. Other times I'll eat a couple of servings of almonds instead. Every now and then I'll add in a few olives too. So really, by the time I get home from work, I've often only had 500 calories or so, and very few net carbs since both the seeds and the almonds have 2 net grams per serving.

When I get home, I often eat salame and brie, or an avocado with bacon and cheddar. If I've taken time on the weekend to make keto pizza or keto meatloaf, I'll have a serving of that instead. In each case, that adds about 400 calories and very few carbs (the pizza crust is made mostly of cheese and almond flour).

After that I do whatever work I have to do at home and then go for a walk or to the gym. Then I come home and eat my largest meal. I make a lot of egg scrambles, using eggs, heavy cream (not milk), butter, bacon and/or sausage, and sometimes cheese and spinach. Or I cook up a couple of salmon burgers from Costco and top them with havarti and Hires Big H fry sauce. Or I have a couple of bratwurst with mayo and mustard.

I vary my dinners the most, but as you see, I do eat a lot of the same things. Luckily, I enjoy them, so while it's tough giving up foods I love, I'm replacing them with other foods I love.

I use the free myfitnesspal app to keep track of everything. My calorie goal was just over 2000 most of the time, but it figures it for you based on your current height, weight, activity level, and weight loss goal.

I hope this is detailed enough, but I'm happy to answer any follow up questions you have.
