If you are like many others trying the Keto lifestyle this will be useful to you. I find with most keto meals they don’t align well with The Hormone Diet however I am very much for a protein rich meal. Below are examples of a traditional keto recipe followed by a more protein rich keto recipe I created.
*Example 1
Don’t eat this keto meal:
Sausage and Cheese Scramble
Ingredients
5 oz diced bacon or chorizo 150 g
2 tbsp butter 30 mL
8 oz fresh spinach 250 g
8 eggs 8
1 cup heavy whipping cream 250 mL
5 oz shredded cheese 150 g
salt and pepper
Eat this meal instead:
Egg White and Veggie Scramble with Hot Sauce
A high-veg, fat-free, protein-enriched meal to maintain muscle mass and feel full. It is also an anti-inflammatory meal that includes lean protein, vegetables and spices and has removed the inflammatory fats in the sausage and cheddar cheese.
Example 2
Don’t eat this keto meal:
Keto Tex-Mex Casserole
Ingredients
25 oz ground beef 750 g
¼ cup butter 30 mL
3 tbsp Tex-Mex seasoning 50 mL
7 oz crushed tomatoes 220 mL
2 oz pickled jalapeños 30 mL
7 oz shredded cheese (for example, Monterey Jack) 220 mL
Served with 1 cup (250 mL) crème fraîche or sour cream; 1 scallion, finely chopped; 5 ounces (150 g) leafy greens or iceberg lettuce; and 1 cup (250 mL) guacamole.
Eat this Protein Plan meal instead:
Natasha’s Protein Plan Tex-Mex Casserole
High in vegetable content, low in fat, rich in protein to maintain muscle mass and fullness. Also, has become an anti-inflammatory meal with the replacement of ground beef with chicken, the change of cheese to Manchego (sheep cheese with low fat and low inflammatory action) and the benefits of loads of spices.
