Meal Planning and Preparation
- Batch Cooking
- Prepare meals in advance to ensure compliance with carb, protein, and fat goals.
- Focus on simple recipes (e.g., grilled chicken with avocado, salmon with sautéed spinach) to save time.
- Portion Control
- Pre-portion meals to avoid overeating, especially fats, which are calorie-dense.
- Use a food scale to measure high-calorie ingredients like oils or nuts.
- Variety
- Rotate protein sources and low-carb vegetables to prevent boredom and ensure micronutrient diversity.
- Experiment with keto-friendly spices and cooking methods (e.g., roasting, grilling) for flavor.
