Keto Low Calorie Chorizo Breakfast Plate

This ultimate low calorie Keto meal is ideal for those looking for smaller meals or for 5:2 fasting days. Everything you need to start your morning right (even when you’re eating lightly) is on your plate. Substantial protein in the morning will help you wake up if you’re feeling sluggish. The fats from the chorizo sausage and olive oil keep you in ketosis, and don’t forget your obvious vitamins and nutrients from healthy vegetables. This is a great recipe if you like to sit down and enjoy your meal, even if it’s smaller than usual because it can help trick your stomach into thinking it’s eating more than it really is.

How Much Do I Eat On Fasting Days?

If you’re on the 5:2 diet, your two fasting days have to include 500-600 calories each day. Try to break your meals into at least 2-3 meals a day. Each meal doesn’t have to be the exact same amount of calories, but try to keep each meal relatively the same. Remember, don’t have two consecutive fasting days; break them up over your week.

What Fats Should I Use On Fasting Diets?

Fat has some of the most calories per gram, so your calories will add up quickly when making a low calorie Keto meal. Your safest fats to use are olive oil and other healthy oils. Don’t forget that any meat or cheese you consume also has fat. If you want to use butter, use a small amount just at the very end of cooking for flavor.
