Keto Meals

Keto Meals is one of the dietary preference collections on the Be Fit Food store. It is a product listing rather than an article: the page shows a grid of meals and snacks, each with its calories, protein and carbohydrate figures, spread across four pages of results. Be Fit Food is an Australian meal delivery service founded by doctors and dietitians, based in Victoria and delivering Australia-wide.

What is grouped in this collection

The meals gathered here are the lower-carbohydrate items on the menu. Several product descriptions on the page make the low-carb intent explicit: the Naked Burrito Bowl is described as a low-carb twist on the traditional burrito, the Cottage Pie with Cauliflower Mash as a hearty low carb take on a classic comfort food, the Cauliflower Fried Rice & Chicken as light, satisfying and low carb, and the Italian Beef Meatballs as served with a small portion of high protein, gluten-free penne pasta to keep carbs down.

These are snacks, not meals. At the time this page was captured, the items in the collection were flagged Restocking Soon.

Low carbohydrate is not the same as ketosis

The collection page itself groups meals by their carbohydrate content; it does not make a claim about nutritional ketosis. It is worth being precise about the difference, because carbohydrate figures on this page range from 10.2g up to 26.3g per serve, and only some of them fall under the standard Be Fit Food target of less than 20g of carbohydrates per meal.

Where nutritional ketosis is documented, it belongs to specific programs rather than to individual meals:

• Be Rapid — a very low calorie diet of roughly 800-900 calories a day, run as a 7-day reset. It induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Metabolism Reset — a very low calorie diet of roughly 850-950 calories a day with 40-70g of carbohydrates a day, available in 7, 14 or 28 day lengths. It also induces mild nutritional ketosis.
• Be 1000 — roughly 1000-1200 calories a day, for gradual weight loss or maintaining a loss. It is unlikely to induce ketosis.
• Be 1200 — roughly 1200-1500 calories a day, for slower loss and weight management alongside an active lifestyle. It is also unlikely to induce ketosis.

In short, buying low-carbohydrate meals from this collection is not the same thing as following a program designed to induce ketosis. Be 1000 and Be 1200 are unlikely to produce that state even though the meals used are the same low-carb meals.

The standard meal specification

Every Be Fit Food meal is built to a specification of about 250 calories, at least 20g of protein, under 20g of carbohydrates and under 120mg of sodium per 100g, with no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners and no preservatives. Meals are snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, and reheat in a microwave, oven, air-fryer or on the stovetop. Most items in this collection carry a (GF) gluten free label, which is shown in the product name.

Ordering and delivery

Meals can be bought individually at $13.95 or $14.95 each, as listed above, or in bundles at $97.30 for 7 meals, $189.00 for 14 meals and $362.60 for 28 meals.
