67 easy, healthy keto recipes for weight loss

Weight loss requires a calorie deficit, which can be challenging on a high-fat, low-carb diet like keto. 

A gram of fat is also more than twice as calorie-dense as a gram of carbohydrates, so you can’t just swap fat for carbs in favorite recipes.  

To lose weight on the keto diet, you’ll need low-calorie meal options. With that in mind, we’ve collected 67 healthy keto recipes that are easy to make—and all under 500 calories with a low amount of carbs.
