Welcome Stephen.

The thing with a meal plan is that you may or may not like what’s being suggested. Eating ketogenically doesn’t have to be a job because there are so many good whole foods to choose from, if you like meat and vegetables. My advice is to study the things that are keto friendly and switch things up to keep your meals from getting boring. This thread has a lot of great ideas and you can see what others are eating regularly:

And here is a suggested meal plan from Healthline to give you some ideas on how to structure your meals. Just realize that you don’t have to get all fancy to do keto and entertain your taste buds. I eat a lot of plain old seasoned protein and vegetables, salads, fish and eggs every way you can imagine and I really enjoy my meals…
