Great Foods To Eat On Keto
- Low-carb veggies – Stay away from high carb vegetables like potatoes and stick with veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, and asparagus. Low-carb veggies are about to become your best friend!
- Healthy fats – Avocados, nut butters, oils, full-fat yogurt, ghee, butter, eggs, cheese, and seeds are just a few examples of foods that work great with a low carb, high-fat diet.
- Berries – Berries are a great fruit to help cravings since they are sweet and also low in carbs.
- Leafy greens – Spinach, lettuce, kale, cabbage, and other leafy greens are perfect for making salads and keeping you full.
- Seafood – Seafood is great for keto, in particular, fatty fish, shrimp, and crab. Other shellfish may be higher in carbs, so make sure to check prior to buying.
- Meat and poultry – Yes, you’re going to be eating a decent amount of meat while on keto, but what type of meat you eat is important.

- Fatty fish, such as salmon
- Fatty cuts of steak, like New York strip steak, ribeye, T-bone, and porterhouse
- Pork belly
