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)
