It requires carefully tracking your macro intake to ensure you get 60-70% of your calories from fat, 20-30% from protein, and 5-10% from carbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Lazy_Keto_Meal_Plan\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-66538\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1000-Calorie-Keto-Diet_-Safety-Results-And-Meal-Plan-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Lazy Keto Meal Plan\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1000-Calorie-Keto-Diet_-Safety-Results-And-Meal-Plan.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1000-Calorie-Keto-Diet_-Safety-Results-And-Meal-Plan-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1000-Calorie-Keto-Diet_-Safety-Results-And-Meal-Plan.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1000-Calorie-Keto-Diet_-Safety-Results-And-Meal-Plan-1636x920.png 1636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lazy keto diet is a more relaxed version of the traditional keto diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who follow the lazy keto diet still follow the basic concepts. This means that they still stick to a low-carb, high-fat, and moderate protein intake. Most of them aim to consume 20 to 50 grams of net carbs per day, but they don&#8217;t obsess over how much fat or protein they end up having.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, the idea is simple: reduce your carb intake significantly, and your body enters <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/snacks-with-no-carbs\/\">ketosis<\/a>, where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Lazy_Keto_Meal_Plan\"><\/span><strong>What Is a Lazy Keto Meal Plan?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lazy keto meal plan is designed to help you stick to the easiest version of keto. Unlike &#8220;clean keto&#8221; meal plans, lazy keto focuses on a mix of high-fat, low-carb foods that are quick and easy to prepare. It often includes &#8220;dirty keto&#8221; items such as processed cheese, bacon, and even Diet Coke alongside healthier options such as avocado and eggs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal? Eat simpler meals in order to make sticking to keto sustainable. Whether you&#8217;re a beginner or simply a busy person, a lazy keto meal plan saves time and effort while keeping your carb count low.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you wish to free yourself from all the extra pounds that have been weighing you down for way too long, <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Lazy_Keto_Meal_Plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start using the BetterMe: Health Coaching app<\/a> and overhaul your entire life!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Following_a_Lazy_Keto_Meal_Plan\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of Following a Lazy Keto Meal Plan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lazy keto isn&#8217;t just easy.

Here are some budget-friendly meal ideas that are aligned with the lazy keto lifestyle:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Egg-Based Meals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Eggs are affordable, versatile, and packed with protein. Make scrambled eggs with cheese, a simple frittata using leftover vegetables, or a classic omelet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ground Beef Recipes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Ground beef is cost-effective and can be used in countless ways. Try lettuce-wrapped burgers, keto chili, or taco bowls with cauliflower rice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Canned Tuna or Salmon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Use canned fish for quick meals like tuna salad with mayonnaise or salmon patties. Add a side of low-carb vegetables for a complete meal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Roasted Chicken Thighs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Chicken thighs are cheaper than breasts and just as delicious. Roast them with simple seasonings and pair them with steamed broccoli or zucchini.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Simple Stir-Fries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Use inexpensive (and seasonal) low-carb vegetables such as cabbage or spinach, and stir-fry them with soy sauce, garlic, and a protein such as ground pork or chicken.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Keto-Friendly Soups<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Make a hearty soup using bone broth, low-carb vegetables, and a protein of your choice. Soups are filling, affordable, and perfect for meal prepping.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want more keto breakfast ideas?
