Breakfast, Lunch, & In-Betweens
Breakfast doesn’t need to be a be fuss. If you’re busy, a couple pieces of bacon and maybe some bulletproof coffee can suffice. If you’re feeling like you want to prep ahead a little make these super easy ham and cheese cups, and then reheat them during the week for an easy grab and go breakfast! Another favorite are these super easy and delicious keto pancakes you can whip up in the blender!
For lunch consider making some easy ham and pickle roll-ups, and also this 3 ingredient avocado chicken salad. Check out these other grab and go lunch ideas to make for home or work. We love these homemade keto Kind bars as a yummy low carb snack ides.
If you have a sweet tooth, keep these keto almond butter fat bombs in the freezer as a treat!
Finally, many Hip2Keto team members practice intermittent fasting, including Collin, and basically do a 24 hour fast where she doesn’t eat until dinner each night and then fasts until the next night (other than coffee). Go HERE for more info on that.

This all looks amazing. I printed out recipes (because I can’t see on my little phone when i am cooking. lol) grocery list went into Walmart app to pick up on Sat. night. I plan on cooking soup and casserole on Sunday as meal prep for busy nights and lunches. Thank you!
Oh good!! Glad we can be apart of your meal planning – enjoy!!
Love this! Thanks.
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much. This is very helpful.
Oh sure! Enjoy 😉
Thank you so much. Been waiting for this to come.
You’re very welcome!!
I’m so new to this so THANK YOU for the easy shopping list. I got all the stuff with the Walmart grocery app (that is new for me too LOL). Now my question is what do I do with all the stuff I bought? will there be recipes or have I missed that? TY 🙂
Oh my word — so sorry – I see I crossed right over them. I’m guessing my journey will be full of a lot of new stuff (for an old lady . haha).
You got this! You are off to a good start, tammyluther!
I’m ready, but am curious, is there is just a menu listed, or are each of the dishes listed with preparation included which is what I’m seeing. I can take the time to write it out for myself because that’s how I function, but if it’s already done, then hitting PRINT is easier! Thanks
Hi Yvonne! Be sure to click through each recipe link above to find the full recipe details listed! You can print each one when clicking on the printer icon located at the top right of the page. Hope this helps!
I don’t see an actual meal plan- only dinner ideas. Am I missing something? I really have problems with breakfast ideas.
Yes these are dinners. We actually have quite a few nice breakfast ideas here :

Confused. So we take the the ideas and create our own daily menu? I need to take the recipe macros to meet my daily requirements? I decide what to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and when i want to I.F. or OMAD?
