Beginner’s Keto Grocery List

Why Make a Keto Grocery List?

Starting the Keto diet means shifting your eating habits to low-carb, high-fat foods. Having a ready list of staples makes it easier to plan meals, avoid cravings, and stay on track.

Keto-Friendly Foods You Can Buy Locally

Here are some foods you’ll usually find in local grocery stores to help you start your Keto journey:

• Eggs – versatile and rich in protein and healthy fats

• Canned Tuna – quick, convenient, and perfect for salads or snacks

• Chicken – lean meat that’s great for meal prep

• Pork – fatty cuts are ideal for Keto meals

• Beef – from steaks to ground beef, always a Keto staple

• Sausage – just check labels for hidden sugars

• Olives – excellent source of healthy fats

• Peanuts – a good snack option, but eat in moderation

• Mayonnaise – adds fat and flavor to salads and dips

• Cheese – low carb, high fat, perfect for snacking

• Butter – essential fat source for cooking and flavor

• Lettuce – base for salads and wraps

• Cabbage – budget-friendly and Keto-approved

• Broccoli – nutrient-dense and fiber-rich

• Eggplant – low-carb veggie for various dishes

• Cauliflower – a rice or potato substitute in Keto meals

• Cucumber – refreshing, hydrating, and low in carbs

• Olive Oil – healthy fat source for cooking and dressings

• Coconut Sugar – not strictly Keto but a better alternative when you really need sweetness (use sparingly)
