I tried the tomato omelet this morning for breakfast. When I turned the omelet onto the plate olive oil remained in the pan. Should I also consume the remaining oil in the pan?
Hi, jayco121. That would be ideal to maximize the ketogenic value.
Can I substitute MCT oil for the olive oil?
Thanks
Hi, jayco121. MCT oil isn’t suitable for cooking. It should be used at room temperature or lower.
Do you recommend ketobomber coffee creamer?
Hi, Rdavis0505. No, sorry. It has too many artificial ingredients in it, and can work against your goals here. Regular cream is fine for coffee. Are you seeking a supplement to boost ketones? There are better ones out there, such as KetoGenic Accelerator https://trk.knxtrk.com/aff_c?offer_id=16&aff_id=1113&aff_sub=sh&aff_sub2=os.
I like my coffee in the morning and afternoon.i dont take sugar but how about milk? Also what kind of milk we can consume and how much? Whats the cup limit on coffee per day?
Hi, Sheshakhan. Milk is not considered keto-supportive, but you can certainly put in a little light cream – up to 1/4 cup (60 ml) per day is fine. The cup limit on coffee varies, but generally no more than 4 per day is recommended.
Thank you
Is it possible to sub coconut oil for the olive oil?
Hi, Janinapowe. Yes, you can.
I can’t find the option to personalize my menus or foods I prefer. The menus are already set up. Where is the option to choose what foods I want?
Hi, Mzburton65. You can do this by deselecting “keto” in the “Dietary Needs” section of your profile (lower right area), then generating a new menu. Once you have the flexible menu template, click on the edit tool at the upper right of each meal, then make your food selections – you will be guided by the meal pattern, which you can make keto through the following substitutions:
* For each carbohydrate exchange, use two fat exchanges
* For each fruit exchange, use a vegetable exchange (unless you use low-carbohydrate fruits like cantaloupe, casava melon, raspberries, or strawberries.
* For a fruit exchange, use an ounce of dark chocolate (preferably 70% or higher cocoa solids) or a 125-calorie portion of one of our keto desserts.
The foods are intentionally fairly generic, so that you can prepare them as you wish, still following the keto principles exhibited in our recipes. You can see what foods are considered to be keto supportive here: http://www.trimdownclub.club/what-to-eat-keto.
If you prefer fewer meals per day as in the keto plan, you can add exchanges from the unwanted snacks to your other meals. Note that since the system wants something at every meal, you can just add a random item like “Vegetables of Your Choice.”
If you would like additional help, please let me know.
This is happening yo me tomo. Not easy to navigate for this particular sigue.
Hi, Nena44. You are more than welcome to post questions along the way, and I will be happy to help.
How is this keto when I am only suppose to have 20 net carbs per day.
Hi, a28wildtiger. This recipe has only 8 g carbohydrate per serving, nearly all from the tomato. The available carbohydrates (non-fiber) are even fewer, and fruits and vegetables are an essential part of any plan. At the end of the day, you will end up with around 20 grams of available carbohydrate, which is all that matters for keto
Just joined this AM. Let me say how excited I am to be on this site and diet.
I began with Menu 1..I cannot use 2 1/2 TBS Olive oil. I used 1.5 TBS and had a difficult time eating an omelette that I love. Why does the receipe call for so much olive oil?
Also, is this a true Keto diet for the next month?
Thanks for any assistance!
Gail
Hi, GailMarie1, and welcome! All the olive oil is to make sure there are more fat grams than carbohydrate+protein grams combined, which is what makes a recipe keto-supportive. This recipe, however, does have some wiggle room, so you can use a bit less.
Goodmorning I just ordered this. I’m new to this change of life. I didn’t get a chance to go grocery shopping. Could you give me a list of groceries to go shopping for. Also Could I do egg whites instead of eggs. Also my first meal I don’t have tomatoes, what else could I do. Thanks for welcoming me aboard
Hi, OhhLala, and welcome! Egg whites don’t contain fats, and so you will need to compensate by adding a teaspoon of some fat source (e.g., olive oil) for each white. You can use another low-carbohydrate vegetable in place of tomato.
The following is a guide you can use for shopping: https://www.trimdownclub.com/what-to-eat-keto/.
Can I eat it with any type of low carb bread?
Hi, Hanymichael. You can, but be sure that the carbohydrate+protein amount in the bread does not tip the total to more than the total amount of fat in your meal. You may get better results trying a keto-type bread. No less important, reduce the amount of omelette you eat so that you don’t overdo the calories.
It says 600 kcal on the top, isnt that wrong?
Hi, JensAnders. The range of calories depending on the size egg you use is 557-614 – so 600 is correct.
I thought the ONLY way to lose weight was a 1200 calorie diet for women
I’m wondering how 1/2 chopped onion would cook in 2-3 minutes? Raw onion in an omelet does not sound appetizing.
Hi, Lucy23. You would need to use an appropriately-sized pan, of course, to make sure that there isn’t just a hill of onion pieces. Note also that you don’t need them to be completely brown all over, just mostly translucent and golden, with some browning.

How do I substitute the olive oil for a meat. I don’t like the oiliness of the eggs since I’m used making eggs with Pam spray
Hi, Jysantana. Us a fatty meat like pork bacon (preferably uncured) – 1 regular slice for each teaspoon of oil; pancetta – 1/2 ounce for each teaspoon of oil; pork sausage (preferably fresh) – 10 grams for each teaspoon of oil.
It’s great when you add fresh basil to it straight from my garden
