How do you meet the keto dietary guidelines and squeeze the most out of your low-carb diet when the budget is tight?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To answer this question, we have created a <strong>7-day budget-friendly keto diet plan<\/strong> to help you save money while losing weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a Budget-Friendly Keto Meal Plan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While keto diets are typically more expensive than the standard American diet, you can still create a cheap keto meal plan. All it takes is some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ketocycle.diet\/blog\/keto-meal-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meal planning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a focus on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">key foods<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and some simple swaps to get more from your meals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 is to <strong>set aside some time to create a meal plan<\/strong> such as the one we are sharing in this article. When you plan your breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals for the week, not only do you know what you need to buy, but it makes it easier to stick to your diet. Moreover, having a prepared and written meal plan makes it even easier to <a href=\"https:\/\/ketocycle.diet\/blog\/breakfast-meal-prep\/\">meal prep breakfast<\/a> or lunch ahead of time, saving you valuable time and effort during busy weekdays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food waste is the greatest enemy of your budget. When you buy foods you don\u2019t eat and end up throwing them in the bin, you\u2019re wasting your hard-earned cash. Therefore, it pays to create a keto-friendly shopping list of versatile ingredients from your meal plan to ensure that everything you buy plays a positive role in your diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 Tips for Making Your Keto Diet Budget-Friendly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saving money on a low-carb diet is as simple as <strong>putting your buying and cooking priorities in place<\/strong> to create the cheapest keto meal plan. Here are 5 tips for making your ketogenic diet budget-friendly \u2013 without compromising on nutrition or taste:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1 Buy the best quality meat you can afford<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be great if we could all afford to buy organic, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/heart-disease\/expert-answers\/grass-fed-beef\/faq-20058059\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grass-fed meat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, the cost is out of reach for those living on a tight budget. Luckily, the keto diet&#8217;s success does not depend on only the best, expensive sources of protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the less popular, fatty cuts of meat are more beneficial than the most sought-after lean meats because they contain more fat, which is essential for ketosis. Chicken thighs and wings and 80\/20 ground beef, for example, can be bought at lower prices but offer greater ketogenic qualities than lean protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2 Take advantage of specials<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy more than you need when the staple foods on your keto-friendly shopping list are on special. It is especially useful to buy items that have a long shelf-life, such as olive oils, nuts, and frozen fruit and vegetables, as well as meat, fish, and chicken that can be frozen in appropriate portion sizes at home for an affordable keto meal plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#3 Make it a habit to cook at home<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready-made keto meals are expensive, unnecessary, and add a significant amount to your grocery bill. You can make meals that are just as good, if not better, in your own kitchen from fresh produce for a lot less money. When you\u2019re doing keto on a budget, recipes are your best ally. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gl.ketocycle.diet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keto Cycle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has more than 10,000 recipes for you to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#4 Buy frozen low-carb fruits and vegetables<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take advantage of the lower prices of frozen low-carb fruits and vegetables for keto meal prep on a budget. Items such as frozen berries, cauliflower, broccoli, and green beans are useful to have on hand, and they are less likely to go to waste than their fresh counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#5 Remember the shelf-stable fats<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive oils, chia seeds, canned fish, coconut oil, and keto snacks, such as nuts and seeds, are examples of high-fat cost-effective foods that can be bought in bulk as they remain stable on the shelf for a long period of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try Our Budget-Friendly Keto Meal Plans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, we&#8217;re able to provide some clarity on how to reduce net carbs and costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keto Cycle offers the best affordable keto meal plans, giving you the structure you need to get keto right the first time.

Keto dieters typically find grocery shopping more expensive than it is when following the standard American diet. However, <strong>with some careful meal planning and a shopping list that includes alternatives for costly ingredients<\/strong>, such as grass-fed beef and out-of-season fresh vegetables, you can save money and stick to your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to follow the ketogenic diet on a low budget?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to do keto meals on a low budget is to use a low-budget meal plan \u2013 like the one we&#8217;ve set out here. It helps you plan your shopping list in advance, buy staple foods, and prevent expensive food waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By structuring your diet around canned fish, cheaper cuts of meat, and fresh vegetables, you&#8217;ll save money in the long run. You can also save money on your keto journey with a slow cooker, learning to break down a whole chicken, and getting varied use out of foods like whole chicken, ground beef, ground turkey, or chorizo sausages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How much does the keto diet cost per week?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, the cost of food varies according to where you live, the type of foods you buy, and your current pantry setup. The cost of keto is no different. However, some intelligent food swaps, planning ahead, and creating a standardized shopping list and the meals you eat can significantly cut the cost of healthy eating. Keto on a budget could cost you as little as <strong>$30\u201340 per week for one person or $60 for 2.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to save money on the keto diet?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use these 5 tips to save money on the keto diet:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy more expensive foods when they are on sale and freeze them.
