Meat
Meat is an important protein source and fat source in a ketogenic diet. Different types of meat have different contents of fat and protein, so the nutritional value must be checked for each product.
Fatty meat cuts
Meat with high fat content is especially useful in a ketogenic diet: bacon, pork shoulder, pork ribs, lamb chops, chicken thighs and chicken wings with skin. The fat helps increase the ratio. Weigh both meat and fat.
Lean meat cuts
Lean meat such as chicken breast, turkey and lean steak has a lot of protein and little fat. To hit the ratio, you must combine with an extra fat source – for example butter, oil or cream.
Nutritional value varies
Always check the nutrition declaration on the specific product. The fat level varies between producers and between different cuts of the same type of meat. Use Matvaretabellen.no for fresh meat without a declaration.
