Cottage cheese is ok in moderation if you use full-fat cottage cheese (with no added sugars).

I do enjoy whole grains but do not eat them every day. Would they be keto friendly as long as I did not eat over a certain amount?

Hi Sherry – On the keto diet, you’re looking to lower your carb intake dramatically and instead consume more good fats and some protein. You can still enjoy some of your favorite foods, but you’ll need to modify them or find a keto-friendly version. For example, try burgers “animal style” where you use lettuce wraps instead of buns. For breakfast, my husband and I eat a lot of eggs, bacon, etc. Sometimes I’ll do tacos with almond flour tortillas or a sweet potato hash. Since I’m close to my goal weight, I do eat a small amount of carbs for energy – usually earlier in the day and then I eat lunch or dinner with very few carbs to balance things out. Hope this helps!
