About this collection
Every keto recipe published on Diets Meal Plan has been developed and tested in our family kitchen in Wayne, New Jersey, with net carbs, protein, fat, and calories calculated per serving. We build ketogenic versions of the meals people actually want to eat - breakfasts, pastas, breads, desserts, and dinners - by substituting almond and coconut flours, monk fruit and erythritol, and higher-fat proteins for the sugar- and starch-heavy ingredients that push you out of ketosis.
Recipes are tested until the healthy version stands next to the original, which usually takes about three attempts. Only the ones that pass the family taste-test get published, and each card lists exactly how many net carbs a serving contains. We include Turkish keto adaptations from Damla Sengul, Latin American keto from Andrea, and everyday American keto staples like fathead pizza, keto lasagna, cauliflower rice bowls, and keto brownies.
Browse by mealtime (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, dessert), by ingredient (chicken, ground beef, salmon, cheese, nut flours), or by macro target (under 5g net carbs, high-protein keto, high-fat/OMAD-friendly). Nutrition estimates use the Nutritionix database and are recalculated when we change a recipe. If you're new to keto, start with our beginner keto meal plans and food list; if you're managing a condition (type 2 diabetes, PCOS, epilepsy), our condition-specific pages carry the medical review flag and explain when to work with your own doctor.
