I sometimes use corned beef or rare Angus beef instead of the Canadian bacon. You could even use some sliced or shredded chicken. Even some lox. Any meat would do. Whatever is convenient (and tasty?) that has almost no carbs.
I typically use the Sargento sliced cheeses.
Nothing wrong with proteins. Its carbs that aren’t wanted.
I usually cut off pieces with a knife. Healthy fat, by itself, really isn’t to be feared by most of us, despite much of the thinking of the past few decades.
@shellsown1 Dear Shelley -
What you are doing DEFINITELY won’t work for you. Full stop. 
Please, stop what you are doing and take a few days/weeks to learn more about how to be successful at transitioning from your current diet to a ketogenic diet that WILL work for you. What you are doing will NOT work and will end poorly.
You’ve gotten a mix of responses and much of what you’ve heard might be useful. But you should not be confused (or hungry!) going into this keto thing if you are going to be happy and successful.
Again, please stop. Hit reset. And spend more time learning about what will work properly for you. What you have described thus far is already making you miserable … and that is not how this is supposed to work.
Butter is not in itself unhealthy, but it is not particularly nutritious either. You need to change your mindset. Fat does not cause heart disease, that is a myth sold to us by Ancel Keys in the 1950s and perpetuated by big pharma.
Sugar is probably the cause of heart disease.
If you snack you will suffer from repeated elevated insulin which is bad for the body in many ways.
Please forget everything you thought you knew and start at the beginning. Limit your carbs to less than 20g per day and eat protein and fat until you are no longer hungry. Repeat this daily until you are settled into ketosis and then tweak the regime to suit yourself.

If you eat two or three meals than eat enough and enjoy them. Snacking has got to go. It is hard at first but once you break the habit you will start to lose weight.
Start at the beginning, read and then read more. This will give you a place to start so you can whittle down to specific questions on anything you need more guidance with. Once you grasp how the a ketogenic diet works I think you’ll have most of your questions answered. The search option here on the site is great and you can just enter a question and usually someone has asked it already and you’ll find many great responses. Welcome back.
Savoury snack ideas:
Sometimes I have a huge desire to snack in the evenings, but I can usually put that down to not haven eaten enough throughout the day. You may find it helpful to eat a larger more satiating evening meal in the hopes that it will see you through to the next morning… but no judgements! I think in a few weeks, you’ll find your appetite is less anyway but until then snacking can help you through the adaption phase.
Reading through this thread, I wonder whether you need to push the protein macro completely out of your mind. Focus only on keeping carbs below 20/25g for now, you’re not anywhere close to overeating so I think you can safely stop worry about protein altogether, it really isn’t going to be an issue. Don’t don’t purposely try to overeat fat (sounds like you wouldn’t anyway!) just use it to help you feel satisfied with your meals.
Best wishes to you, KCKO 
Shelly,
Don’t worry about the macros for now - just focus on keeping your carbs below 20. Everything else will fall into place. You have to get past the idea that eating fat is bad - the truth is that eating healthy fats is a good thing.
Also re: breakfast, you don’t need to eat (or drink) breakfast unless you are hungry. I realize that you have probably been taught it’s “the most important meal of the day” but that is utter BS. Eat when you are hungry not because the clock says it’s time. I would try subbing a freshly made BPC (not the premade) for your protein drink. That will help you feel satiated and get you to lunch. If you need to invest in a cheap handheld immersion blender and you can make it in the mug.
My favorite dinners (and lunch 
) are salmon and/or grass fed ribeye, cooked with olive oil or butter and either a handful of lettuce with some goat cheese crumbles and olives and a healthy oil based/keto friendly salad dressing. No measuring - no worrying about macros.
When in doubt add avocado or eat it straight out of the shell. I no longer snack but when I did I liked to have a handful of raw almonds and some cheese or some pork rinds with guacamole. Or some flax seed crackers (Flackers are great) with cream cheese and sugar free smoked salmon - delicious anytime of the day!
Just get through a few days and the cravings will go away.
I don’t own either one of these, just put everything in a mason jar, put the lid on and shake it really hard for about 20-30 seconds. Works a charm and less mess. Also MCT oil is preferable to regular coconut oil by far, unless you like the taste of coconut oil more than coffee. I use butter and MCT oil.
I could argue with you all day about this but I will just post this instead, and you can see what Dr. Fung says about breakfast and the best times of day to gravitate towards for your eating window. I am usually finished with food for the day at about 2:30pm.

David, I use an older Proctor Silex counter top blender with a standard mouth mason jar. It’s the equivalent of a hoi polloi Nutribullet with a one-liter glass mixing bowl. I think you would find the difference between using this and shaking the bejesus out of your mason jar most satisfying. I use a few more ingredients and even if I had the forearms of Popeye I could not come close. I know that most current Oster blenders will take a standard mouth mason jar. I’m sure many other brands will as well.
@amwassil I have a kitchenaid that I don’t use anymore, I’ll have to see if it fits in the morning. Thanks.
this taken from the above noted link: says;
Excess protein (more than your body needs) is converted to glucose, making it harder to get into ketosis.
Which is what I was originally told, and why I am worried because when doing my counts, I keep ending up with too many protein grams.
Maybe 56g of protein is not realistic.
I’ll give you an example of my day, please tell me if this makes sense:
For breakfast I had one egg with some mayonnaise, a bullet coffee with whipping cream and one slice of Havarti cheese. For lunch 2 turkey burgers and half an avacado.
So far I am at already 31g of protein, and it seems like no food.
Try something like this:
Breakfast: 4 eggs, scrambled/fried/omlette style, cooked in 2 tablespoons of butter
add 1 ounce of grated cheese to it, add some cut up ham or meat to it if you want as well
1 coffee with your fats you want to make it bulletproof style
Lunch: Romaine lettuce with a can of water-packed tuna, and some Avocado Mayonnaise, (Or a mayo that has no sugar or seed oils, the only one I have found is Chosen foods Avocado one).
Chop up a pickle to mix in, and a coffee with HWC or Tea.
Dinner: some protein (beef, chicken, fish, your choice) and some sauteed cauliflower, or broccoli or cabbage, or asparagus, cooked in butter.
This is just an idea, you should not be hungry if you were to eat all that =).
This sounds good, but 4 eggs is way too much protein, remember I have only 56g for the day.
I know many people here have said give up on the protein count, but even so, I should be having more fat than protein isn’t that correct, this would not be the case.
I was on a stall for over 2 months because I was sticking strictly to the macros. The only macro you really need to worry about this early on is Carbs. If you keep to 20 grams or less of carbs a day, and get enough protein, fats and calories, you will be fine and lose weight… you have to trust the science behind Keto.
For an example I will put what I mentioned into cronometer to pretend it is my daily and put a screenie here to show you, will do that now.
So it doesn’t matter that my macros will be majority protein and then fats. Because what I am reading is it should be majority fats and then protein and as I mentioned above, in reading it says eating too much protein will hinder my ketosis.
This is what the day’s outcome would be if you ate what I described:
It has my macros but it will give you an idea. This would be perfectly acceptable to eat all that at this point for you, since you are just new to Keto and your body needs to adjust. You will be very full and lose weight if you were to follow this as a guideline.
