Find New Recipes

Spend a little time each week perusing cookbooks, magazines and online keto-friendly recipes to add to your list of go-to meals. Look for simple recipes without overly exotic ingredients and start by trying one new recipe a week.

Stay Organized

To create and stick to a healthy and tasty keto menu plan, organization is essential. Keep both new and tried-and-true recipes organized in whatever way works best for you. If you find most of your recipes online, try setting up a Pinterest board to save your favorites for easy reference.

Make a Menu

If experts “swear by it,” then it's probably worth the effort. Map out your keto meal plan, weekly or monthly, on a calendar. Not only does this save the stress of last-minute meal decisions, but it also automatically generates a shopping list.

Frozen Fallbacks

Keto meal planning should always leave room for flexibility. Some nights, you simply can't make that meal you planned. Become familiar with healthy, keto-friendly frozen meals and stock up on these simple substitutes.

Think Theme Nights

There's a reason Taco Tuesdays are a thing! But theme nights don't have to be specific. Plan a fish night, stir-fry night or a grilling night. Some theme nights leave room for variety, like a Pizza Party night. There are plenty of keto-friendly pizza renditions to allow for a new style every week.
