Asda – Weekly shop for one on keto (UK)

Picking the right food and drink for keto can be a bit difficult, especially if you’re new to it. To make your life simpler, I’m providing you with my usual weekly keto shopping list, this time it’s for Asda!

Related – This article is part of a series on keto shopping at UK supermarkets. You can check out the other shopping lists for different supermarkets here.

This shopping list is based on one person following the keto diet with a daily carb limit of around 20-25g. Of course, this list assumes that you already have some basic ingredients at home, like oils, spices & herbs. For more information check out the ingredients at home section later in the article.

What’s in my Asda keto basket?

To make it easier to navigate the supermarket, I’ve broken the shopping list down into specific categories (i.e. aisles in the store). I also like to cook, so don’t expect many ready-made meals! Admittedly, most are high in carbs and should be avoided where possible.

Ingredients at home

Of course, there are some ingredients that you don’t need to buy every week. Even some in the above shopping list will last a lot longer than a week (like Mayo & Hot Chilli sauce).

It’s not a complete list but here are some ingredients that you’ll need to have for the example meal plan in the next section.

Meal ideas / sample plan

So with all those ingredients in our weekly shop what are we going to make? Well, I usually like to mix it up but here is a sample weekly meal plan that I use quite often.

You could always skip breakfast or just keep it simple with a delicious butter coffee. If you’re after something to eat then you can’t go wrong with some keto porridge.
