I'll think of more questions later.

There are lower carb cereals out there, but focus on ones with more dietary fiber and less sugar. Look for wheat based cereal instead of corn based ones.
There are tons of low carb breakfast bars/snack bars. I love South Beaches bars for snacks. Hi in protein, low in carbs, low in fat, and tasty.
The healthiest bars I have found are not as tasty, but are great for you, the Snickers Low Carb Marathon bars.

Also I snack on things like nuts (not sugary coated ones), beef jerky, Veggies (not fruit), very light cheeses like Mozzarella, etc.
For your breads stick to wheat breads, I use Sara Lee low calorie whole wheat at 45 calories a slice. I also used Mission Whole Wheat Low Carb Tortillas, which have a TON of dietary fiber, so they are low in net carbs, and they have I think 10g of protein per tortilla. Low in fat too.
Lots of chicken breasts and other meats....check out the recipes here to see how Atkins recipes are made. You'll get a better understanding of ingredients you can use for any of your meals that are low in carbs.
