Our 25 Favorite Keto Chicken Recipes

Our 25 Favorite Keto Chicken Recipes

Chicken dishes are so popular that they are the third most widely consumed food in America, following closely behind grain-based desserts and yeast breads. In other words, chicken is the most widely consumed keto-friendly food in the United States. Most chicken dishes, however, come with a carb-rich side like rice or potatoes or chicken that is breaded with high carb ingredients, making a high-protein keto food into an unhealthy meal. Fortunately, there are many low-carb vegetables and keto ...

Dirty, Lazy Keto vs. Clean Keto: Should You Go Clean?

Dirty, Lazy Keto vs. Clean Keto: Should You Go Clean?

We all naturally fall somewhere on the spectrum between squeaky clean keto and dirty lazy keto — even if we aren’t aware of it. The way of eating that you end up following ultimately depends on two crucial factors: (1) how healthy, sustainable, and effective the diet is for you and  (2) the values that drive your decisions (e.g.,  your budget, your health, religious beliefs, environmental/animal welfare concerns, and anything else that you prioritize when making a decision about what to ...

The Keto and Collagen Guide: Everything You Need to Know About This Essential Protein

The Keto and Collagen Guide: Everything You Need to Know About This Essential Protein

Although collagen is a protein, it does not have the same properties as other more commonly known proteins (e.g., whey, casein, meat, and fish). In fact, because of collagen's unique amino acid composition, it provides us with many benefits that we can see and feel. The positive effects of collagen even extend beyond what we can get from consuming fish, meat, whey, and casein proteins. Collagen is helpful in so many ways, especially on the keto diet. You can think of keto and collagen as a ...

Can You Eat Sushi on Keto? What to Order and What to Skip

Can You Eat Sushi on Keto? What to Order and What to Skip

The short answer: sashimi is perfectly keto, traditional sushi rolls are not, and there's a surprisingly good middle ground if you know what to ask for. The problem with sushi on keto isn't the fish - it's the rice. A single standard sushi roll packs 30-40g of net carbs, almost entirely from the seasoned sushi rice underneath. That's your whole daily budget in one roll. I've been eating keto for over a decade now, and Japanese restaurants are actually some of my favorite places to eat out. Once ...

10 Beefy Keto Recipes: Low-Carb Beef Meals

10 Beefy Keto Recipes: Low-Carb Beef Meals

Beef is probably the protein I've leaned on most over the past decade-plus of eating keto. It's not just that it fits the macros, it's that beef actually holds up to the cooking you want to do. High heat, long braises, quick skillets. It handles all of it. I've gone through phases with chicken, pork, fish. But when I need something that fills me up and keeps me full for hours, beef is where I land. There's a reason keto and beef go together so well: the fat content lines up with what a low-carb ...

Low Carb Noodles: Keto Pasta Alternatives

Low Carb Noodles: Keto Pasta Alternatives

All over the world, you'll find different variations of noodles, from Italian lasagna layers to Chinese egg noodles to Vitamenese-style pho noodles. Despite being relatively flavorless on their own, each one plays an essential role in turning our favorite flavors into memorable meals. Unfortunately, each noodle will also add enough net carbs to transform the recipe into a less healthy, high-carb dish. This leaves us with two strategies we can use to transform the dish into a keto-friendly one ...

Mexican Food on the Keto Diet & Lifestyle

Mexican Food on the Keto Diet & Lifestyle

One of the most rewarding food journeys starts when we skip the tortillas, rice, and beans and dive deeper into the rich world of keto-friendly Mexican cuisine. From the Americanized versions of Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, and New Mexico-style to authentic metropolitan and coastal Mexican cuisines,  you will find plenty of dishes that are full of flavor and low in carbs. However, it is crucial to be aware of what to eat and avoid before you try to satisfy your craving for these rich and fulfilling ...

Garlic Parmesan Keto Croutons

Garlic Parmesan Keto Croutons

Nothing adds to a salad or soup quite like the crisp, buttery, texture of a crouton. Cheese crisps or low-carb crackers can do in a pinch, but since I’ve started a low-carb way of life I’ve missed the lovely crunch of a fresh crouton. These keto croutons have a crisp exterior with a warm, soft, interior that has hints of garlic and butter can turn a boring side salad into a satisfying main dish. These are croutons are packed with fiber and protein in every handful! To make these delicious ...

Comprehensive Guide To The Vegetarian Ketogenic Diet

Comprehensive Guide To The Vegetarian Ketogenic Diet

The vegetarian diet is commonly regarded as one of the healthiest diets for humanity. Many studies have found that vegetarian diets are associated with a lower rate of heart disease and diabetes and may improve health more than the average non-vegetarian diet. However, this doesn’t mean that the vegetarian diet or the vegetarian keto diet is the best diet for everyone’s health. The ketogenic diet, for example, has been found to be more effective than the vegetarian diet for weight loss, ...
