Does anyone have simple KETO meal plans they can share?

I like to make cream cheese pancakes on the weekend (8 eggs, 8 ounces cream cheese, sweetener and cinnamon) and eat them for breakfast all week.1

I think you are missing the point or I am not relaying it proper. Dr Fungs point was timing between meals. Not so much calories taken. 2 large meals or 2 small ones, what matters is the rest you give to your digestive system. Person who eats 6 snacks every 2hours is working his digestion all day. Sorry to divert this thread into unrelated, “snacking” comments threw me off lol
I truly get your point though. I don't snack but my keto meals sure were/are "snack size" compared to what they were on higher whole food carbs/lower fat. Good way to learn the meaning of "portion control".

While I appreciate that it's the simplest for you, that certainly wouldn't be the case for me. My husband is an oatmeal loving vegetarian. As with most things: we are individuals.rfrenkel77 wrote: »Breakfast: 2 slices of thick bacon, 2 eggs mixed with 1/4 cup cauliflower. Coffee with 1tbs heavy whipping cream. ~380cals total
Dinner: salad with 1tbs vinegar and 1tbs olive oil ~300, 1/2lb ground lamb. ~600, 1/2 avocado ~ 165. Hot tea. Total ~ 1065
It does not get simpler. Breakfast takes 10 min, dinner takes 10 min, to make the salad, the ground lamb patties are oven broiled on the weekend, so it’s really no hands on time.
Good luck.0 -
Your husband does not need your help with his oatmeal. He is perfectly capable of microwaving it for 1 min. All by himself.
In fact my 12 year old does just that, while I fry my bacon before dropping kids at school.
Not sure where you going.

I am blown away by how small my portion sizes are now compared to when I ate higher carb. My coworkers comment on my 1-cup food containers and how that would never be enough food to satisfy them at mealtime.
So True! I'm amazed at how little food (amount-wise) that it takes me to feel satiated. That is the difference when you are eating nutrition-dense foods. I think this is particularly eye-opening for Americans, as we have become accustomed to these enormous portions of food (hence our increasing obesity rates) and are shocked, and many disappointed, when we don't get to eat a huge meal. It really is a matter of re-programming your brain and eyes to be in line with your satiation.

I think you are missing her point. She is not necessarily saying she snacks every two hours, but that rather her meals are snack-sized (likely compared with the size of the meals she used to eat or that most people who are not keto eat). I agree, as, thought I only eat three meals a day (with a 12 to 14 hour fast from after dinner to breakfast), they are smaller meals, as the higher level of fat is typically a more nutrient-dense food and hence a small portion. Hope that helps you understand what's being said.1 -
Good Morning All,
I agree with most of the menu suggestions and websites others have said and just want to add this...
I have found also keeping track of your macro nutrients in a diary really helps. It's in your face it's documented, you don't forget how many carbs you ate in a day and you can compare results. I think it helps me keep myself accountable. I currently am using myfitnesspal ap that underarmor created. I don't do the paid version, but I can see where it would be nice. However, you can certainly do the same thing on a excel sheet on your computer or write it out on paper.
Good Luck!

I think you're rather missing my point, and cherry picking. But whatever.1 -
