What are Some Good Examples of an OMAD Keto Meal?

There are many different forms of fasting. There is the 16/8 diet, alternate day fasting, and more. One of the more extreme versions is called one-meal-a-day (OMAD for short). This diet consists of individuals eating one very calorie-dense meal daily. 

You might be thinking that this sounds difficult, and you’re right, it is. However, strategies can be put in place to help your body adjust better while even amplifying the health benefits. One of those strategies is to also incorporate the ketogenic diet. 

The ketogenic diet is a very low-carbohydrate, high fat diet. Many people who mix fasting with keto report feeling great and having numerous health benefits. 

However, planning a very high-calorie meal that is also low in carbs and high in fat can get tricky! A good way to combat this is to develop a keto OMAD meal plan once a week to minimize any last-minute guesswork.
