One item that may not be True Keto, but
fits my macros so I eat it, is Gordo's Cheese Dip. I put it on my
veggies. I have even added it to Chicken. Tyson has a frozen oven
roasted diced chicken breast. Microwave it and add Gordo's Cheese
Dip, pair it with a veggie and you have a quick and easy low-carb
meal
Another “Dirty Keto” item that we
enjoy are Protein Shakes. I was originally drinking the Premier
Protein Shakes and Ed does still drink them. I switched to Atkins
because they are higher in Fat and lower in Protein, so they fit my
marcos better. On my OMAD/2MAD days, I'll drink one to help get me
to that meal. On work days, I drink them when I just feel like I
need a little boost.
