FOOD?
My "Go To's":
Protein shakes (naturally) - I do one for breakfast every day.
string cheese
laughing cow cheese
frozen chicken strips - often for lunch with a bit of honey mustard
deli lunch meat
Hebrew National hot dog (when I was on soft food)
chicken or tuna salad
crab meat
shrimp (this was the first dense protein that really agreed with me) - ALWAYS ON HAND
Pretty much any fish
hormel chili
Hope these help!

Foods that I always have on hand:
Almonds, jerky, greek yogurt, protein powder, protein bars, cheese
This is from a post I wrote this morning for a different user but I think it answers your question:
Specific Foods changed a lot, I get bored easily with food so I am constantly googling low carb recipes. So my go tos are:
Breakfast - 90% of the time will be a protein shake, its the easiest time to get it down and its the best time to get the most protein you can get in a single meal. Other go-tos are eggs, bacon, ham, omlet.
Lunch - Deli meats are nice easy things to get and keep (high in sodium so don't go crazy here), cheese (laughing cow has some really great small bit options), my prepared meals include chili, crack slaw (google for the recipe), soups, left overs from dinner the night before, tuna.
Dinner - Steak, pork chops, chicken (any meat really), fish (mostly salmon) broccoli, cauliflower, leafy greens, brussels sprouts, cabbage. Chilis are good for dinner. Stews with a lighter gravy and no potatoes. Lettuce wraps are great because you can be very versatile in your flavors.
Snacks - Almonds and other nuts, beef jerky, protein bars (Quest has the best profile), greek yogurt, berries, cantaloupe.
Healthy Fats - Salmon and other fish, Olive Oil, almonds, almond butter, peanut butter (no sugar, natural), avocados, flax oil, fish oil (supplements), coconut oil
Those are a just a few of the things I could think of off the top of my head. I post a recipe every day that I think would be good and is low carb, start taking a look at those and you will end up with a variety of foods
