I mean I don’t think there are any high protein cough drops, but I’m pretty sure you can get sugar free cough drops… You can atleast definitely get sugar free boiled sweets, a couple of type 1 diabetics I know have them, and you get them at the checkouts here as shops aren’t allowed to put sugary snacks at the checkouts.
And in regards to getting proteins that are atleast in stock, lentils and peas/beans are pretty good sources of proteins, I’ve seen people make some good looking keto friendly naan breads/flat breads using pea protein (IIRC), have you tried anything like that?
I’ve seen some that claim to be low sugar, but still have a lot of carbs. For a keto diet. Protein content would not be relevant, moreso the lack of carbs.
I have not checked recently, but the last time I was keto pea protein was a very expensive option. I forgot to mention in my first comment but I have found a more reasonably priced brand of low-carb whey protein.
Also I’ve found that I generally don’t like substitutions. Trying to find a food that is similar to bread or rice really just makes me want bread or rice more. The most successful part of dieting for me is to change my mentality from “living to eat” to “eating to live” anyways. So ideally I would like eggs for breakfast (tons of different ways to prepare them), chicken breast and vegetables for lunch (tons of options here too as long as you avoid high-carb sauces or vegetables), and a protein smoothie for dinner (low-sugar Orange Juice, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, and ice).
I have successfully started again, but I’ve had to use pork and beef instead of chicken. Which is less healthy and more expensive. Fish is also an option, though not being near a coast makes that expensive too. I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford an increased grocery bill without too much hardship, but it’s a conscious choice to cut back on saving up for big things like our next car or home improvement projects.
Outta curiosity what is a Keto cough drop?
