A Day of Keto Paleo Meals
How is Keto Paleo different? What do Keto Paleo meals look like??
Those are questions I get asked a lot!
So I decided to make a little video to show you how I eat and keep track of my macros.
If you are interested to learn more about Keto Paleo please read this post and watch the video about it.
Of course just one day of meals does not do justice to the variety of foods I eat but at least if gives you an idea of how simple, nutritious and appetizing Keto Paleo meals can be. It is easy to love this healthy lifestyle!
So I decided to put together a typical day of my meals to show you. Just watch the video and then find the approx. Macros for the meals below;
Breakfast: 360 calories – 5 grams of whole carbs – 26 gr of Protein  -27 gr of fat
Lunch; Â 630 Calories – 11 gr of whole carbs – 47 gr of fat – Â 40 gr protein
Dinner; Â 392 calories – Â 11 gr whole carbs – 29 gr of fat – 24 gr of protein
Total 1305 calories – 27 gr whole carbs – 97 gr of fat  – 86 gr of protein
I was a bit high on the protein today for my regular goal of 82 gr and a bit low on the fat for my goal of 101 grams.
This video is so useful! Please show us other typical days!!! Thanks 🙂
I will try to make more videos Elodie 🙂 Thank you for the feedback!
Hi Vivica,
I found your site a couple of days ago. Thanks for all the useful info you have posted for us here!
I have a question: I have read multiple times that “After about 3 weeks , you will become keto adapted and the urine strips will not read anymore.” Why does this happen? And SHOULD it happen? I’m asking, because I’ve been eating a keto adapted diet for about a year now, and the urine strips have always read positive for me (usually dark purple, but always purple). What would this mean? I must say I’ve never quite figured out how to keep track of my calories, and the exact percentages of fat, protein and carbs I’m getting, but I eat similar things to what you eat (just bigger portions). I’m actually on this diet to gain, rather than loose weight. For the first time in my life I’ve been able to maintain a healthy weight!
Thanks in advance for your response 🙂
HI Karin, the strips should stop working when your body stops excreting the excess Acetone in your urine that comes from burning ketones for energy. At a certain point in keto adaptation the body changes and the muscles stop utilizing ketones, so they can be used mainly by the brain. So the muscled start utilizing free fatty acids instead, which do not have acetone as a by product.
If you are still showing acetone in your urine it might be that you are producing extra ketones or it might be that you are in a high level of ketosis. I would measure your blood ketones levels at least once or twice to see what is really happening.
Hey there Vivica! Are your calories always around 1300? I find that’s too low for me. I’m typically around 1800 to 2300 depending on my activity. I lift heavy weights 3x per week and run 4 to 8 miles 3x per week. I’m 5’5″ and not sure how much I weigh. Haven’t weighed myself in a long time but could be around 120-ish. I have developed some mid section “pooch” that I’m not happy with. Macros are typically 30g net carbs, 175g fat and protein I’m trying to lower but can be roughly around 140g.
Hi Heather! Yes my cals were about 1400 a day. Please remember that there is more to weight loss than just macros…it really depends on your age, fitness, body composition AND endocrine health!! People always get stuck on tweaking macros as if it was the magic key to weight loss….to me it is only 1 element of a complex picture!
