It’s all in range of what I need to be eating, but do I have to change it because there’s not too many fruits and vegetables? Or is it ok?
Any tips? Keto dieting on a budget tips? ANY ADVICE ACCEPTED!! You

I got all my ideas from these ^^ they all say “Keto”; “low carb” so now I’m just confused!! 😅

Answer

You have way to many carbs for keto

Answer

Keto is supposed to be essentially no carbs. I see a LOT of carbs on your list. Fruits also have a ton of carbs in them. And lasagne unless made with veggies is definitely not keto

Answer

I don’t think fruits apart of the keto diet. It’s supposed to train your body to turn fat into energy instead of using sugars

Answer

You should be trying to stick to 20 carbs and under, you have a lot of carbs on your list

Answer

Too many carbs. Chicken parm is carb loaded like crazy ( marinara sauce is not good). What’s in your smoothies? If you have milk, that’s not good.

Answer

These are some very time consuming keto recipes/meals that are lot of “carb substitutes.” Try keeping it simple as you are just starting off and really limit the carbs so you can get into ketosis. Pick a protein, and add a healthy fat and veggies. Eat berries sparingly. Carb manager is a great app to use if you haven’t downloaded yet!

Answer

I would make sure you cut down the carbs. Bagels and pasta are not Keto unless your making Keto bagels and using veggies as your pasta. 
I would also up your greens and keep your fruit to a minimum though berries have the least carbs. 
Also your breakfast depending on your portion sizes may be to big. I would have either the smoothie or the bullet proof coffee. 
Women typically need more carbs then men as we have to maintain our fluctuations in hormones so sticking to 40-60g of carbs a day is ideal. Everyone is different though so aim for a certain gram of carb per day and adjust to what feels best. If you start at 40 and feel off try to up/lower it by 5-10g a day. Give it a fair try for each setting. I know some women who also find upping their carbs by about 10-20g the week before their period helps with their symptoms and then they can lower it while on their period. But everything is trial and error don’t be afraid to experiment and give it time.

Answer

I would add more fruit and veggies.
