Subway Sandwich Shop spinach salad with tuna salad as my protein was the best meal for ketosis. I would get gobs of oil and that mixed with the fattiness of the tuna salad and the crunchiness of the spinach leaves provided a nice full feeling while tasting somewhat pleasant.
Note: if you're going to eat salad, make sure it's dark leafy greens and not iceberg lettuce. Spinach and the like all have a couple grams of protein and it helps with satiety. Anytime I eat iceberg lettuce salads I usually felt hungry afterwards. The best food combinations to adhere to while maintaining ketosis are vegetables that have protein and fatty animal proteins.
In between snacks were sardines, salami and almond butter. The sardines are halfway bearable if they're headless and skinless. Salami is okay if it's the natural kind without the nitrates and nitrates. Hormel makes a salami for around four dollars that's only made with salt and some other basic ingredients. My heartburn doesn't act up when the meat is uncured. As for the almond butter, I would only do two tablespoons at a time because it has a lot of fiber and I get indigestion or even worse if I ingest too much fiber.
Occasionally I would do almonds and nuts but again they had too much fiber which inexplicably caused constipation. I didn't eat that much while on almonds but I was getting severe stomach aches at times.
Weight loss is pretty much about feeling full while restricting calories, and the low carb foods I listed lend themselves in that regard.
