Primed with butter, MCT or coconut oil, bulletproof coffee – a keto favorite – can be a satisfying, energizing, fat-supplying breakfast in itself. But don’t treat it as a side beverage to accompany a meal of bacon and eggs. Because if you’re trying to lose weight on keto, calories still count.

“Bulletproof coffee is fine, but it’s not free,” Devine says. Laden with calories, the beverage is really more like a meal replacement, she says.
