Meat: Use more or less depending upon how many grams of protein you need per serving.  By the end f the day, you probably have an idea of how many grams of protein you want in your meal.  If you are also feeding someone that is not Keto, consider using a lesser amount in the dish with extra on the side just to add to the Keto plates.  To help ensure the dish is leaner for non-Keto family members, I also cook the ground beef in a bit of water and drain the fatty water when done.  If Keto eaters need more fat for the day, adding some heavy whipping cream mixed into the Keto plates when served, or better yet, adding coconut oil in "Bullet Proof Coffee" in the morning.  Meat: Use more or less depending upon how many grams of protein you need per serving.  By the end f the day, you probably have an idea of how many grams of protein you want in your meal.  If you are also feeding someone that is not Keto, consider using a lesser amount in the dish with extra on the side just to add to the Keto plates.  To help ensure the dish is leaner for non-Keto family members, I also cook the ground beef in a bit of water and drain the fatty water when done.  If Keto eaters need more fat for the day, adding some heavy whipping cream mixed into the Keto plates when served, or better yet, adding coconut oil in "Bullet Proof Coffee" in the morning.
