The nutrition information provided is an estimate and is for informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. While classifications were prepared by a registered dietitian, this information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. These recipe categories are for general menu planning and educational purposes and are not individualized nutrition or medical nutrition therapy. Always seek the advice of your physician, registered dietitian, or a qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical or health condition, nutrition needs or diet. We strive to provide accurate data using industry-standard tools, but these figures can vary greatly depending on the specific brands, quantities, and preparation methods used in your own kitchen.

High Protein

These categories are not complete meal plans and do not guarantee any specific health outcome. They are simply a way of organizing recipes by approximate macronutrient pattern.

For the purposes of recipe classification, "high protein" is operationally defined as providing ≥20% of the Daily Value (DV) for protein per serving, as established by the (2020-2025) Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Recipes bearing the high-protein designation are provided solely for general dietary planning purposes. These recipes are not intended to serve as medical nutrition therapy, nor should they be used to adjust pharmacological interventions or substitute for individualized clinical recommendations from qualified healthcare professionals.

Keto-Friendly

These categories are not complete meal plans and do not guarantee any specific health outcome. They are simply a way of organizing recipes by approximate macronutrient pattern.

Eating pattern based on 2000 kcals.

17g carbs, 56g fat, 25g protein per meal + 6.25g fiber*, 2300mg sodium daily.

This pattern uses very low carbohydrate intake (17g) and higher fat (56g) to align with ketogenic-style eating patterns, in which the body may shift from primarily using carbohydrates to using fat for energy. Some people, under guidance from their healthcare providers, choose ketogenic-style eating patterns as part of their approach to managing weight or blood sugar. Whether this type of pattern is appropriate for you depends on your individual health needs and should be discussed with your healthcare team. *Please note: the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends a minimum of 25 g/fiber per day for traditional intake. Typical intakes are much lower with a ketogenic eating pattern (about 6.25 g per day) . This type of pattern should be followed only under the supervision of a healthcare provider or registered dietitian, especially if you have existing medical conditions. Recipes labeled Keto-Friendly are intended for general menu planning only and are not designed to change your medication dose or replace personalized advice from your healthcare team.

Eating pattern based on 2000 kcals.

44g carbs, 22g fat, 67g protein per meal + 25g fiber, 2300mg sodium daily.

This pattern provides a moderate carbohydrate reduction (44g) for people who prefer to limit carbohydrate intake as part of their overall eating pattern.
