Is Tuna OK on keto diet?

Tuna is naturally low in carbs, making it great for the keto diet, but is also low in fiber. This means it's less likely to fill you up on its own, so you'll need to pair it with healthy vegetables.

Thankfully, we have 30 irresistible keto tuna meals that will help you benefit from all that tuna has to give. Roll your sleeves up, and get stuck in!

Avocado tuna melt bites

For the days when you need something easily portable, bite-sized, and filling, these avocado tuna melts from Ruled.me are the answer. Throw them into some Tupperware, maybe drizzle some chili sauce over them, and add some kimchi on the side and you’ve got a snack that will be the envy of all.

Spicy tuna melt cups

Onion and herb tuna cakes

A super-quick supper option for those days when you don’t have much time or headspace, these keto tuna cakes by Sugarless Crystals are really yummy.

Now, don’t get me wrong, but until recently I’d never heard of the chaffle. Boy, was I missing out! One of the more recent keto crazes, the chaffle is an egg and cheese waffle. Curbing Carbs has filled hers with gooey tuna melt, and I’m drooling just looking at it.

Keto tuna patties

All Day I Dream About Food’s lemon dill tuna cakes taste just as fresh as you’d expect them to with that delicious combination of ingredients.

Ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, and avocado – what more could I ask for?

Also, involved as it may be, it only takes 30 minutes (which is my cut-off for a weeknight supper). The Mexican flavors of this dish really are beautiful and, if you follow the directions, you’ll end up with extra spice blend leftover to add to anything else you fancy.
