The Easiest 7-Day Keto Meal Plan Under 1,900 Daily Calories

Disclaimer

Let’s be honest: If your idea of planning your meals means picking the fastest drive-thru lane, you’re going to have a hard time on a ketogenic diet.

That’s because getting and staying in ketosis requires a bit of calculation and planning up front to score maximum wins long term.

To find success on a ketogenic diet, planning is key. This guide will teach you how to create a 7-day keto diet meal plan to fit your needs and macro goals all while staying under 1,900 daily calories.

To help you create the best meal plan for your body, we’ve broken down our guide into four easy steps:

Now that you know what to expect, let’s jump right in.

1. Set Your Goals

Why do you want to start a ketogenic diet, anyway?

Do you want to finally lose that stubborn excess body weight you’ve been lugging around? Are you looking for better mental clarity and more energy?

Are you hoping a low carb diet can lower your blood sugar and cholesterol levels?

Are you focused solely on shredding fat and building muscle or do you simply want better overall health?

Whatever your reasons and intentions, think about the results you’re hoping to achieve on keto. Now write them down and post them somewhere you can see every day.

Remembering why you started will make it easier to stick to your keto diet plan along the way.

2. Calculate Your Macros

Macronutrient ratios are everything on a ketogenic diet.

Start by using our keto macro calculator here to help you determine what and how much of each macronutrient to eat based on your specific body composition and lifestyle.

You’ll have a rough estimate of how many grams of fat, protein and carbs your meals need to cover over the course of one day. This will make it easier to plan your meals.

Today’s guide keeps your daily calories topped at 1,900.

But if you learn your macros are different, check out our keto menu plan for staying under 1,600 daily calories.

3. Plan Your Meals

Based on your daily macros, pick one day each week to sit down and plan out your meals for the next seven days.

It’s a chore worth doing once instead of thinking about what to eat every single day.

We have your first week on a keto diet covered today, but after that you’ll want to check our new recipes and add them to your repertoire so you’re never bored.

All the recipes we share list the macro breakdown so you don’t have to calculate anything complicated.

If you stumble upon a recipe without a macro count, just enter the ingredients into a diet app like Senza or MyFitnessPal and you’ll have the macros and calorie count totaled for you.

And guess what?

We’ve included a cheat sheet in this guide so you can plan your ketogenic diet meals around the right foods ASAP.

To start, it helps to figure out which meals you’ll have each day. When you list them out on a sheet of paper, think about:

  • How many people in your home will be eating the meals (i.e., How many servings will you need to make?)
  • Whether you plan to make enough for leftovers for lunch the next day
  • How you want to structure each day (Do you plan to eat breakfast every morning, or will you just have lunch and dinner most days?)

Once your meals are planned out, make a shopping list with the ingredients you’ll need for every one and head out to the store.

4. Start Cooking

You have your meals planned. You have your ingredients.

Now you’ll need to decide if you want to prep and cook most of your meals on your day off and store them for easy grab ‘n go during your hectic work week, or prepare each meal the day you plan to eat it.

Consider what fits your schedule and lifestyle most and work around that. Anything else will just be too difficult and trick you into giving up.

While making any new change can seem overwhelming at first, having a plan in place will set you up for success in the long run.

So let’s check out a sample 7-day ketogenic diet menu plan now.

Sample 7-Day Keto Menu Plan Under 1,900 Calories

We’ve got you covered for seven days of meal planning so you’ll have inspiration come breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert time.

The example macros are set for a single person who is eating:

  • 1,900 calories per day
  • 96 grams of protein
  • 25 grams or less of carbs
  • Around 160 grams of fat

Your macros may be a bit different so feel free to mix and match meals from different days to fit yours.

While you don’t have to hit these numbers exactly every day, you should try really hard to get close to your limit carb intake (think: less than 5g deviation), otherwise you can get kicked out of ketosis.

Going over your fat macro (within reason) will not kick you out of ketosis but it will make it harder to lose a lot of weight fast.

You don’t have to worry about eating too much protein. It’s a myth that protein kicks you out of ketosis. Eat as much protein as you desire.

You’ll find a bit of wiggle room in our 7-day menu plan to give you the ability to customize your day without going over your macros.

Using our healthy keto snack list and paying attention to how your body feels when you have more/less of each macro will help you adjust accordingly.

So let’s check out a week of eating on a keto menu plan:
