Rob, welcome. This menu looks fine to start. The snacks are ok, but be careful with cheese, as it's easy to overeat certain foods (dairy and nuts were the suspects for me) at the beginning. Note that while calorie counting isn't necessary for many, it's also important to not overeat as you're making the transition. One of the best guides for early days on low carb is the brief set of recommendations from Dr. Eric Westman. He has very effective guidelines for beginning low carb/ keto that is known as "Page 4." He cautions to eat no more than 4 ounces of cheese per day. You can purchase it here:

However, https://www.dietdoctor.com/ is also a great site for beginners and long-timers as well. Membership per month is around $10, with the first month free. It also provides much information without requiring a membership. The good thing about DD is that there are no ads as it's not affiliated with any low carb "products," some of which can be questionable about health benefits and ingredients. You can join and cancel without any issues.
Enjoy your journey, and be aware that if you consistently follow a low carb way of eating (WOE), you will make adjustments and course corrections over time as you learn how you react to whole foods. At some point, you may realize you no longer need snacks, as you're no longer hungry between meals. Yeah, it happens. All the best.
