Atkins, is higher in fat, but they have some great high Protein frozen meals, with very low net carbs, their Chili is some of the best I've ever had.

I eat bacon too, I find it too hard to do low carb and low fat together, some of my go to's are chicken wings usually buffalo, or traditional bone in, with a little ranch dressing, and of course chilli is always a good option.
