Craving lunch but don’t want to break the bank? We’ve got you covered! Our article “Keto Lunch Hacks: Slaying Hunger Not Your Wallet” shares our top tips for satisfying your hunger without blowing your budget. We’ve got you covered, from meal prep to recipe swaps. Say goodbye to expensive lunches and hello to keto-friendly, budget-friendly options. Let’s get started and conquer lunchtime hunger together!
When we prepare our meals, we want to make them as easy as possible so that our keto lunches are both tasty and budget-friendly. We start by planning our weekly meals, considering our dietary needs and personal preferences. We make a detailed shopping list to buy only what we need, reduce waste, and save money. Once we have all the ingredients, we set aside time to prep our meals all at once, usually on a Sunday afternoon or evening. This way, we can portion our lunches into individual containers and grab and go during the busy workweek.
We also use ingredients that can be used in multiple meals, like grilled chicken, roasted veggies and hard-boiled eggs. This adds variety to our lunches and keeps our grocery costs down. By prepping our keto lunches, we avoid eating out during the week and save time and money while staying keto.
To save money on keto lunches, we swap out expensive ingredients for more budget-friendly options without sacrificing flavour or nutrition. Here are three recipe swaps to help you stay keto without breaking the bank:
Are you looking for fast food that won’t blow your keto diet? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered. There are plenty of options for those on the go who need a quick keto meal. Many fast food chains now offer customizable options that can fit into a keto lifestyle. Try a bunless burger or grilled chicken sandwich and add lettuce, tomato and avocado for extra flavour and healthy fats. Salads are also an option – just be mindful of your toppings and dressings.
As we move on to salad combos, consider choosing salads at fast food chains that offer keto-friendly options. Many fast food restaurants now offer customizable salad options that allow you to create a satisfying and nourishing meal while staying keto. Here are some keto-friendly salad combos to keep you full and on track:
These salad combos offer a variety of flavours and nutrients to keep you full and energized all day. Let’s get into smart snacking strategies to help you stay keto.
Continuing from our salad combos, we move on to smart snacking strategies that support our keto goals and keep hunger at bay. When snacking on a keto diet, we want to choose high-fat, moderate protein and low-carb options. Nuts like almonds, macadamias and walnuts are excellent choices. They offer a satisfying crunch and nutrients. Pair them with a serving of cheese or a dollop of almond butter, and you’ll get extra flavour and satiety.
Sliced veggies like cucumbers, bell peppers and celery with creamy avocado or a flavoured dip are also a low-carb snack. Another smart strategy is to make keto-friendly energy balls or fat bombs with coconut oil, cocoa powder and nut butter for a convenient and indulgent snack. Incorporating small portions of leftover protein like grilled chicken or hard-boiled eggs into our snacking routine will help keep us energized and full. These smart snacking strategies allow us to navigate our keto journey and keep cravings at bay easily.
