I often see people just starting out on keto, or people who are looking to reduce their protein intake or up their fat intake struggling on what to eat.
Especially some who only think extra fat is sauces, and end up making their food a soupy mess!
I had already made a small post about it previously, but I figured why not expand it into an entire topic where everyone can contribute?
This is something I plan to link to people who are looking to up fat/keep protein moderate, so I am looking for recipes with a fat:protein ratio of 1:1 or higher, preferably higher.
This can include pasta sauces, meatballs, desserts, breakfasts, fatbombs, anything you can think of!
Preferably, but not required, a small comment on difficulty level of the recipe, and fat:protein ratio might be helpful for newbies just starting out.
I’ll start!
Pot Pies: 1.6:1 ratio of fat to protein
Difficulty Easy/moderate
Sausage and pepper soup: 1.5:1 ratio of fat to protein
Difficulty: easy
Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers: 3.3:1 fat:protein
Difficulty: Very easy
Buffalo wings: 1.3:1 ratio without the dipping sauce
Add a side of celery (if you like it) and creamy blue cheese dressing (look for one from the store with 1g of carb per 2tbs or less, OR make it yourself) to add some fat and to dip the wings in
Difficulty: easy
Chocolate mousse: 8:1 ratio of fat:protein!
Difficulty: Very easy
Mocha cheesecake bars: 3.6:1 fat:protein.
Difficulty: Easy (mix and pour)
Pudding, 8.5:1
difficulty: moderate
Milkshake, 5:1 - this has special ingredients but you can find simpler recipes for keto milkshakes around by searching for them
How about one of the seven trillion recipes for keto meatballs (swedish, italian, chinese, etc) 1:1 ratio, but pair it with a dessert or a salad with a fatty dressing and you’re solid
Breakfast? If hungry in the morning you could try some muffins 2.75:1 ratio
Difficulty: easy
“oatmeal” 4:1
Maple pecan bars 6:1
What do you guys think? Good for a topic to help newbies up their fat?
