Keto Meal Plan for Week One

Keto week one begins a more structured eating rhythm while tracking glucose, ketones, sleep, hunger, energy and wellbeing.

Values are estimates. I calculate homemade bone broth at ~75 kcal, 10 g protein, 4 g fat and 0.5 g carbohydrates per litre.

Day 36 · Monday

Steak, iron and a steady start

Why these foods? I begin the first keto day with steak as a source of haem iron, vitamin B12, zinc and high-quality protein. Broccoli contributes vitamin C, while courgette adds potassium and fibre; fermented gherkins also provide some salt.
