From prime rib to sea bass, making the keto leap means eating low-carb, higher-fat meals filled with flavor. Whether a full-fledged devotee or just starting out, balancing a meal routine with a busy schedule can be challenging for anyone. We’re here to help — try this easy keto meal plan with accessible recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and plenty of midday snacks. Plan ahead and eat better than ever, all week long.
Keto Meal Plan Tips
Set yourself up for meal plan success with a few tips.
Get organized. Take a look at the meals you’ll be cooking this week and take stock of ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Then make a grocery list for the items that you’ll need to buy.
Prep ahead. Maximize baking, chopping and marinating time when you have it. The more you can do to get ahead, the better.
Don’t cook everything. You don’t have to cook every single meal from scratch during the week — there are other priorities! Plan several on-the-go meals into your week (many stores even have sashimi) or ready-to-eat entrées, like a whole rotisserie chicken.
