Alright peeps — here’s your Week Three Keto Menu Plan. 🎉
If you’re following along from the Week One Keto Menu Plan and Week Two Keto Menu Plan, this 3rd week keeps the same rhythm: simple meals, realistic prep, and full macros for everything so you’re not guessing or doing mental math all week. Consistency beats novelty every time, and this plan is built with that in mind.
I’ve personally had a solid couple of weeks sticking with this structure, and I’m always excited to hear how it’s going for you — feel free to share wins, frustrations, or questions in the comments. This community has a lot of collective experience, and it is so helpful for people that are coming into these keto menu plans in the future.
A Few Notes Before You Start
If you’re just getting started and have questions about keto, get caught up with my 3 day keto kickstart and menu plan!
Weekend prep friendly:
Since many of you do your cooking over the weekend, this week 3 keto menu plan includes two recipes designed to be made in time for Sunday dinner, with leftovers intentionally rolling into the following week. Less cooking, fewer decisions — always a win.
Yes, there’s dessert this week:
I added a keto dessert because real life exists and sometimes a sweet treat is necessary. If you don’t have the ingredients (or just don’t want to make it), feel free to substitute Lindt 90% dark chocolate or another keto-friendly dessert you already like. Just remember to adjust your daily macros — especially net carbs — to keep yourself under 20g for the day.
A quick word on sweeteners:
Some people (not everyone) find that artificial sweeteners slow their progress on keto. It’s frustrating, but if you feel like results aren’t lining up with your effort, the dessert — or sweetened drinks and coffee — might be worth reevaluating for a week or two. This isn’t a rule, just an option to experiment with if you’re feeling stuck.
Want to Share Your Experience?
If you’ve been following the meal plans and they’re working for you, I’d love to hear about it.
A short note is perfect — one or two sentences is more than enough. You can include your first name (and location if you want), and any detail you’re comfortable sharing, like how the plans have helped you stay consistent, feel better, or simplify keto.
No photos required. No pressure.
Just real experiences from real people.
If you’re open to it, leave a comment or send me a quick email (sevigm@yahoo.com) and let me know you’re happy to be quoted.
That’s it for today!

🔪 Weekly Prep Notes
Notes: Depending on your schedule you may find it easier to make everything on the weekend and reheat throughout the week – all of these dishes reheat well in that case. Otherwise you may choose to make some of the dishes on the weekend and others as needed throughout the week – that’s totally up to you.
Recommended prep order:
- Make 3 batches of cream cheese pancakes (you should have 12 pancakes total) and divide them into 6 portions of 2 each. You’ll have 2 extra – you can freeze them or replace one of the snacks with them during the week.
- Make your ham and cheese frittata and divide into 6 portions for the week.
- Cook entire pound of bacon
- Make your Raspberry Cheesecake Bars and divide into 9 pieces. HIDE THEM FROM YOUR FAMILY! Or make extra if you plan to share! :)
- Make your Turkey Sausage & Kale Soup, substituting the butternut squash for the pumpkin in the recipe.
- Make your Cheesy Chipotle Cauliflower Casserole
- Make your Green Enchilada Meatballs
- Open the package of boneless chicken thighs and remove 2 of them for the Chicken Stir Fry. Freeze the rest for another time. I recommend making the Chicken Stir Fry the day you have it for dinner – it’s very fast to make and should only take about 15 minutes to throw together.
- I recommend making the Jerk Ribs and Broccoli Slaw next weekend in time for Sunday’s dinner. The leftovers will be carried into next week’s menu plan.
Kimberly says
I had already lost 6 lbs by counting my calories in January, but lost an additional 11 lbs in just two weeks by following your week 1 and week 2 meal plan!! The recipes were so delicious that even my husband has joined the keto bandwagon and I’m having to cook double batches to accommodate him too in week 3 :) thank you some much for all your work!!
Tori says
I just wanted to take a moment and say THANK YOU! for posting all these awesome meal plans! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, which if you didn’t know has a huge effect on insulin resistance & makes it easy to gain weight and really hard to lose :( A low carb, high protein diet is highly recommended but I was having trouble finding one that didn’t include seafood (I don’t eat it!). These meal plans so far don’t include anything I don’t eat, and also look completely delicious! I can’t wait to try all these recipes out!
Mari says
Hi! About to embark on this woe with an actual meal plan for the first time. Been kinda doing it a bit haphazardly until now. As I’m reading through the weeks, I’m seeing some desserts that call for berries (such as the raspberry cheesecake bars). Well, I’m allergic to berries, and I was wondering if anyone was like me and had to substitute another type of fruit? What can be used, and how did that change the nutrients?
Todd says
Hi there! loving everything!
My Wife and I have been doing this together.
Question: In week three we seem to be out of Frittata’s and Meatballs before the week is up and have to make more. I was wondering if the prep/grocery list was made for two people or one person?
It looks like we needed 10 frittata servings (recipe makes 6) and two full recipes of meatballs(32ea) for the week.
Mellissa Sevigny says
The menu plans are made for one person, though some of the recipes allow for extras – you’ll definitely need to do the math to figure out servings for 2 people for an entire week of the plan, but you won’t have to double everything.
Mary Birm says
When I pull up a recipe on my iPad to prepare, on the right hand side of the recipe title is a 1x, 2x, 3x. I just discovered this is to increase the recipe ingredient from 1 to 3 people. AH HA!
Trish says
Hi there! Stupid question but are these meal plans with shopping lists ,just for 1 person . Meaning when I shop I need to double what I buy so the plan can adapt for 2 people ? Thanks !!
Jennifer says
I have been searching for over a year for keto meal plans that weren’t filled with ingredients I couldn’t find or recipes that took hours to make. Thank you for making that happen! I no longer own my own thyroid, no thanks to Graves disease, and I have to eat a Ketogenic diet for the rest of my life, just to maintain. You’ve made it so simple. Thank you again!
tonimarieue2004 says
I am going on my third week of eating Keto. Thank you soo much for your meal plans :)
Michelle Marrujo says
WOOHOO!!!!! Week 2 down! Lost a total of 2.8 pounds since starting but 17.4 pounds since Oct and I feel great! Thanks again. I had to fight my kids off the jalapeno soup, lol. It’s a winner in our house!
Abby says
Would it effect my results at all if I were to eat the week three keto meal plan as my first week in keto? I absolutely love all your recipes and nutritional input!
Cammy Ashby says
I am so discouraged. I’m sure you get tired of hearing people wine about not losing weight, but I just can’t figure out why low carb diets don’t work for me. They’ve been around for years, and I’ve tried every version with very little results. This one sounded different, I got the strips to pee on, I’m going against every fiber of my being and using heavy cream in my coffee, gaging through avocados and disgusting extra dark chocolate…. and nothing. My strips are dark pink, I am clearly in Ketos, but nothing. I have reduced my sweeteners to only one diet soda a day… and nothing. Does it just not work for some people? How long should I keep trying? I teach Jazzercise 4 times a week and run around all day as a school teacher. I’m just so mummed.
Terri says
Are you losing inches? Are your clothes feeling loser? At your activity level you may be losing fat and gaining muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat so your scale may not budge; but you’re getting toned.
