What I Eat In A Day Ketogenic

Written by Dr. Robin Terranella | Thu, Jul 05, 2018 @ 19:07 PM

This video gives you an Idea of they types of foods I eat when doing a ketogenic diet.  I don't do this diet all the time but cycle on and off of it. When I am doing this diet all my carbs come from veggies like dark leafy greens, other vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, etc and sometimes dark chocolate. 

 

What I eat Ketogenic Breakfast

Typically this will start with some bulletproof like coffee. For mine I use:  

  • Grass fed butter 1 tablespoon ( I use Kerrygold Irish Butter) 
  • MCT oil 1 tablespoon ( I use this one)
  • Heavy cream 2 tablespoons
  • Coconut oil 1 teaspoon ( I use this one) 
This all comes to about 500 calories and zero carbs.  It is a lot of saturated fats so I try to get other fats at other meals. like olive oils, nuts and omega from fish.

Also for breakfast I will have 2 eggs, avocado, olives and tomatoes. 

 

What I Eat Ketogenic Lunch 

Lunch is usually mixed salad greens about 2-3 cups, cucumber, tomato, olives, avocado, chicken, olive oil 1-2 teaspoons, balsamic dressing, cheese and nuts.

That's it.

Ketogenic Dinner Varies More 

Chicken and veggies, fish and veggies, etc.
