I tried the Keto diet before, but it didn’t work out due to my circumstances. Now, I’m much better prepared and can stick to it long-term. I do meal prep and used this recipe as a rough guide since it’s something I can eat every day (OMAD) for a while. To add more volume, I included mushrooms and a head of cabbage. To balance things out, I doubled the olive oil, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and heavy whipping cream. However, my macros still aren’t matching up. I end up with 54% fat, 29% protein, and 16% carbohydrates. Keep in mind, this doesn’t include the carbs from the cabbage, broccoli, or zucchini, which are supposed to be 'Keto-friendly,' but cabbage actually has more carbs than you’d expect. (If you'd like to take a look at the exact numbers)
Beef Stir Fry (Makes 5 Servings at 897 kc and 54%, 29%, 16%)
- Olive Oil, 8 tbsp
- 80/20 Ground Beef, 1 lb
- Diced Onions, 340 g
- Garlic, 45 g
- Mushrooms, 226g
- Zucchini, 1 Whole
- Broccoli, 340g
- Cabbage, 1 Whole
- Cream Cheese, 112 g
- Shredded Cheese, 112 g
- Heavy Whipping Cream, 1 C
The final product looks almost inedible:
What can I do to go from: 54%, 29%, 16%
To at least a: 70%, 20%, 10%
Or ideally: 80%, 15%, 5% ?

Stop worrying about percentages and just count macros. Add more meat and stop trying to add so much fat.
I have never had stir fry with cream, or cream cheese (seems kind of yucky to me.) And why all of that oil?
