Regular meatloaf uses ingredients like milk, bread crumbs, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce to create its signature flavor and texture — all ingredients that can make you feel tired and bloated. These keto meatloaf recipes make low-carb ingredient swaps without sacrificing flavor.

Keep in mind that not all keto meatloaf recipes are fully Bulletproof. If you are sensitive to nightshades like peppers and tomatoes, use the recipes on this list that omit them. Onions and garlic can often be moldy and inhibit alpha brain waves, so only enjoy keto meatloaf with these ingredients on occasion. And if you can’t live without ketchup on your keto meatloaf, swap it 1:1 with tomato paste and keto sweetener (like liquid monkfruit or birch xylitol) to taste.

Whether you like classic beef loafs or prefer poultry and fish, these keto meatloaf recipes are worth making for your whole family.
