What you CAN eat on Keto



And now for the list of foods you can eat. Basic rule of thumb is to always check the labels.

Meats
Beef, Pork, unglazed Ham, Bacon, Chicken, Turkey, Seafood, Eggs
Sausage, Brats and other processed foods – check the label. If more than 1 to 2 carbs, they are a no.

Dairy
Real Butter, Full Fat Cheese (hard and soft), Cream Cheese, Sour Cream, Heavy Whipping Cream, Cottage Cheese, Full Fat Greek Yogurt, Unsweetened Almond Milk

Veggies – Frozen or Fresh. (not canned)
Artichokes, Asparagus, Avocado, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Garlic, Green Beans, Herbs, Kale, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Okra, Olives, Onions, Peppers, Radishes, Squash, Tomatoes, Zucchini

Nuts & Seeds
Pecans, Macadamias, Walnuts, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds

Pantry Supplies
Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, no-sugar added Spices & Extracts, Pink Himalayan Salt, Mustard, Hot Sauce,
no sugar added Tomato Products, no sugar added Salsa, Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce, Sugar-Free Ketchup, Coconut Flour, Almond Flour, Pork Rinds, Sugar-Free Jello, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Natural Peanut Butter, 0 carb Pickles, Low Carb Salad Dressings

Snack Foods (be sure to check the labels, some have added sugar – watch the carb count)
Beef Jerky, Cheese Sticks, Pickles, Panino Sticks, Pepperoni, Guacamole

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.
