What are some easy keto dinner recipes for beginners?
Luckily, most of the recipes on this list are beginner-friendly. While you can easily scan this list for all the beginner-level recipes, some of our favorites are crispy baked chicken thighs, blackened tilapia with zoodles and air-fryer garlic butter steak. When you don’t have time to plan an involved meal, opt for simple proteins and easy sides like a leafy green salad or keto-friendly roasted vegetables.
What is a lazy keto menu?
A lazy keto menu is one that includes high-fat foods with decent protein, but doesn’t adhere quite as stringently to the 5% carb rule. Lazy keto dieters may choose to eat a generally low-carb diet without counting macros or worrying about getting an exact amount of fats and proteins in. It is less restrictive and can be a good way to ease into the keto diet.
