what I eat vs. what he eats 🌮
keto edition!
The taco shell products I used are at the end ❤️
I'm on the lazy keto diet while my husband can eat anything he wants.
I think about a good dinner, that my husband would like and then figure out how to make it keto.
Tonight I did tacos!
my plate is: keto Doritos taco shell with ground turkey, cheese, lettuce and red onions.
side salad with Parmesan crisps instead of croutons and a keto taco shell broken up to make chips with guacamole.
his plate is: yellow rice with corn,
Doritos taco shell with ground turkey and cheese
side salad with croutons.
Choosing keto taco shells like the OLDELPaso Carb Advantage Nacho Cheese flavored shells or other low-carb options makes a huge difference when you're trying to stick to your macros while still enjoying your favorite foods. These shells typically have around 6-7g net carbs per two shells, which is much lower than traditional taco shells. I personally love breaking a keto taco shell into chips to serve with guacamole as a satisfying, crunchy side that’s also keto-compliant. When preparing dinner for both keto and non-keto eaters at home, I find it helpful to keep the main proteins and toppings similar, like ground turkey and cheese, but swap out traditional carbs (like yellow rice and croutons) for keto-friendly alternatives such as lettuce, Parmesan crisps, or keto restaurants-approved taco shells. This way, it’s easier to cook a single meal that everyone can enjoy with minor adjustments. For lazy keto followers like me, focusing on simple ingredient swaps without overcomplicating cooking is key. Ground turkey is great because it’s versatile and pairs well with the spices typically used in taco seasoning. Adding fresh veggies like red onions and iceberg lettuce ensures your meal is flavorful and fiber-rich while keeping carbs low. Also, consider the convenience of prepackaged keto-friendly taco shells. Brands like OLDELPaso offer bold-flavored options that make a tasty and quick dinner possible even on busy nights. Just be sure to check the nutrition label for net carbs and fiber content to match your daily keto goals. Overall, balancing a keto meal alongside someone who enjoys regular carbs needn’t be stressful. With a few smart substitutions and a shared love for tasty meals, everyone’s dietary preferences can be satisfied in one delicious taco night.
