A 1700-calorie diet for women is a moderate-deficit eating pattern that fits most sedentary or lightly active adult women who want to lose about 0.5 to 1 pound per week, plus some active women looking to maintain weight.
Short answer: A 2000-calorie ketogenic meal plan sets carbohydrate at about 20 to 50 g per day (roughly 5 to 10 percent of energy), protein at 20 to 25 percent, and fat at 70 to 75 percent.
Desserts are usually where a keto plan quietly falls apart. Rather than pretending you can white-knuckle sugar cravings for months, plan for them with a small, low-carb option that fits your daily net carb budget.
Short answer: A 2000-calorie high-protein meal plan pushes daily protein to 150 g or more (about 30 percent of calories) while keeping total energy at maintenance for most adult women and lightly active adult men.
That intake fits large, highly active adults who want to lose fat slowly, athletes in a maintenance phase on keto, or someone reverse-dieting after a cut.
Keto is usually framed as a high-fat plan, which makes it easy to overshoot your daily calorie target if you are also trying to lose weight. The trick is not to eat less fat; it is to pick recipes where…

An 1800-calorie high-protein meal plan targets 130 to 160 g of protein per day (roughly 29 to 36 percent of daily energy) while keeping fat and carbs balanced.
The 2013 Bueno et al. meta-analysis of 13 randomized trials found adults on very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets lost roughly 0.9 kg more at 12 months than those on low-fat comparison diets (1).
If you have kidney disease, heart failure, hypertension, or take diuretics or blood pressure medication, work with a physician or registered dietitian before making changes. Never abruptly cut sodium if you take medications that alter fluid balance. Individual results may…
The Leidy et al. 2015 satiety review found higher-protein intakes reliably reduced hunger and improved appetite control during weight loss (1).
Eating one 500-calorie meal as your only food for the day is VLCD territory and needs medical supervision (1).

Our keto section holds every ketogenic-focused meal plan, recipe roundup, and educational article we have published - written for people who want a low-carb, higher-fat pattern that actually stays under 30-50g net carbs per day without turning every meal into cheese and butter. We cover standard keto, lazy keto, dirty keto (with honest caveats), targeted keto for athletes, and low-carb variants for readers who don't want full ketosis.
Every keto meal plan on this site is calorie- and macro-calculated (net carbs, protein, fat) using the Nutritionix database and cross-referenced against USDA nutrient data. Plans tied to conditions - type 2 diabetes, PCOS, epilepsy, fatty liver, insulin resistance - are reviewed by a Registered Dietitian on our team (Brenda Peralta, Kerly Cordova, or Marita Radloff) and medically reviewed by Franco Cuevas, MD. General weight-loss keto plans are developed and tested by our Food Editor Damla Sengul with nutrition team review.
We don't sell supplements, exogenous ketones, or paid coaching. We do not claim keto cures any disease. We do explain, in plain language, what the peer-reviewed evidence shows, where it's strong (short-term weight loss, seizure disorders, some metabolic markers), where it's contested (long-term cardiovascular risk, LDL response, sustainability), and where readers should work with their own doctor - especially if they take medications for blood sugar, blood pressure, or thyroid function. Every article names its sources; every recipe carries its own net carb count.
