Alright peeps — here’s your Week Three Keto Menu Plan. 🎉
If you’re following along from the Week One Keto Menu Plan and Week Two Keto Menu Plan, this 3rd week keeps the same rhythm: simple meals, realistic prep, and full macros for everything so you’re not guessing or doing mental math all week. Consistency beats novelty every time, and this plan is built with that in mind.
I’ve personally had a solid couple of weeks sticking with this structure, and I’m always excited to hear how it’s going for you — feel free to share wins, frustrations, or questions in the comments. This community has a lot of collective experience, and it is so helpful for people that are coming into these keto menu plans in the future.
A Few Notes Before You Start
If you’re just getting started and have questions about keto, get caught up with my 3 day keto kickstart and menu plan!
Weekend prep friendly:
Since many of you do your cooking over the weekend, this week 3 keto menu plan includes two recipes designed to be made in time for Sunday dinner, with leftovers intentionally rolling into the following week. Less cooking, fewer decisions — always a win.
Yes, there’s dessert this week:
I added a keto dessert because real life exists and sometimes a sweet treat is necessary. If you don’t have the ingredients (or just don’t want to make it), feel free to substitute Lindt 90% dark chocolate or another keto-friendly dessert you already like. Just remember to adjust your daily macros — especially net carbs — to keep yourself under 20g for the day.
A quick word on sweeteners:
Some people (not everyone) find that artificial sweeteners slow their progress on keto. It’s frustrating, but if you feel like results aren’t lining up with your effort, the dessert — or sweetened drinks and coffee — might be worth reevaluating for a week or two. This isn’t a rule, just an option to experiment with if you’re feeling stuck.
Want to Share Your Experience?
If you’ve been following the meal plans and they’re working for you, I’d love to hear about it.
A short note is perfect — one or two sentences is more than enough. You can include your first name (and location if you want), and any detail you’re comfortable sharing, like how the plans have helped you stay consistent, feel better, or simplify keto.
No photos required. No pressure.
Just real experiences from real people.
If you’re open to it, leave a comment or send me a quick email (sevigm@yahoo.com) and let me know you’re happy to be quoted.
That’s it for today!

🔪 Weekly Prep Notes
Notes: Depending on your schedule you may find it easier to make everything on the weekend and reheat throughout the week – all of these dishes reheat well in that case. Otherwise you may choose to make some of the dishes on the weekend and others as needed throughout the week – that’s totally up to you.
Recommended prep order:
- Make 3 batches of cream cheese pancakes (you should have 12 pancakes total) and divide them into 6 portions of 2 each. You’ll have 2 extra – you can freeze them or replace one of the snacks with them during the week.
- Make your ham and cheese frittata and divide into 6 portions for the week.
- Cook entire pound of bacon
- Make your Raspberry Cheesecake Bars and divide into 9 pieces. HIDE THEM FROM YOUR FAMILY! Or make extra if you plan to share! :)
- Make your Turkey Sausage & Kale Soup, substituting the butternut squash for the pumpkin in the recipe.
- Make your Cheesy Chipotle Cauliflower Casserole
- Make your Green Enchilada Meatballs
- Open the package of boneless chicken thighs and remove 2 of them for the Chicken Stir Fry. Freeze the rest for another time. I recommend making the Chicken Stir Fry the day you have it for dinner – it’s very fast to make and should only take about 15 minutes to throw together.
- I recommend making the Jerk Ribs and Broccoli Slaw next weekend in time for Sunday’s dinner. The leftovers will be carried into next week’s menu plan.
Mary Fish says
Just one question – Week Three: The left-over Jalapeño & Cheddar Muffin is referenced above in Tuesday’s dinner. The muffin is supposed to be left over from week 2, although I didn’t make muffins in week two. Am I not seeing something in the meal recipes?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks for catching that Mary, the menu for week two was changed and the week 3 menu should reflect that with the muffin. I’ll fix that!
LeAnn says
I just love your meal plan and recipes! When I was on my first keto jouney, your website and meal plan was my number one website. Your information was so helpful. I like how you utilize leftovers. As a single person making a brand new meal for each and every meal became overwhelming. Thank youso much for taking the time to update the meal plan. I really appreciate you.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Leann, I appreciate your feedback!
Kathy says
Just finished week 1 two days ago and down three pounds. Three more to go to lose my holiday weight. Ughhh. Goal is to lose 25-30 pounds. My spouse is a picky eater and has loved the meals! Today, he told me he would rather have a sausage roll than his favorite PB&J.
Tatee says
I have fallen off a few times, but what matters is that it is working. Yesterday I weighed in at 189lbs. My highest weight is 210. And I lost almost all the weight just by following the meal plan.
The food for each week definitely lasts me longer than a week and I live with my family, so I have been making 2-3 dishes at a time and just warming up leftovers of whatever I want until there are none left. All of the food has been great.
I have been at this since New Years with only a few cheats and my family is noticing a difference in my appearance. My clothes are fitting me bigger. I can’t wait to start getting rid of clothes that are too big. I have too many clothes anyway so this should help me to eliminate some items.
I have not done any workouts but I might start doing workouts at least once a week. If I feel comfortable I’ll do more. I like that I can adjust the plan to fit my own needs.
Kristy says
Can’t wait to dig in to Week 3 recipes – Week 2 was delicious! The link to the Ham & Cheese Frittata does not work – do you have an equivalent substitute or did it get moved? Thanks abundantly!
Mary Birm says
My boyfriend and I are on Thursday of week two. I am down 14 pounds and he is down 25 pounds; UNBELIEVABLE! This is without regular exercise. Upon week three we are starting a 2-3 day exercise routine. Can’t wait to see our results. This meal plan is so exciting and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!
