Easy Keto Staples
I'm calling out to all the veteran keto dieters. In my opinion being prepared for meals is the hardest part of staying in ketosis.

How can I stick with low carb, but still try to get to my calorie goal?
I"m not doing keto per se, just trying to stay under 40-50 carbs daily. I can never seem to get to my calorie goal though. I don't know what other items to add to my diet that have enough calories, but not any carbs! Bacon is the first thing that came to my mind, but I can't have that every day......
