When the body is glycogen depleted, any incoming carbs will be sent to glycogen while the body continues burning fat. It takes about 24 hours of carb intake to shift over to carb metabolism (out of ketosis), so a single cheat meal might not have much effect.
Lately, I've been eating mostly oatmeal, potatoes, yams, and white rice for carbs. I usually have some chicken breast and cottage cheese or tuna for added protein. Probably boring to some people, but I like it.
Occasionally I add in fruit, pasta, bagels, bread, cereal, or whatever other carboriffic stuff I can think of. Also, junk foods like pizza, doughnuts, or candy are nice every once in a while and don't mess up fat intake too much if the rest of the day is low fat stuff. Low fat ice cream is pretty good as well.
