Some may wonder why people eat fat to lose weight while on a ketogenic diet. It’s because on an eating plan low in carbohydrates, fat is the preferred source of energy. Fat bombs are even more popular than low-carb candy. In fact, many of these high-fat recipes are made to look and taste like candy. However, they do tend to be less sweet.
What are keto fat bombs?
In-the-know keto and low-carb dieters can’t get enough of these DIY snack balls, which are typically made with a combo of high fat ingredients like butter, coconut oil, nuts or seeds, cocoa powder, and low- or no-calorie sweeteners. Fans love the dense, fudgy texture and the endlessly customizable flavor combos. Also irresistible? All that fat and little to no carbs means that for many, fat bombs are the kind of snack that can curb sugary cravings rather than trigger a nonstop nosh-fest. “There’s a lot of energy packed into a tiny piece of food,” says Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson Julie Stefanski, RDN. Finally, a few things to keep in mind: Like with all snacks, paying attention to your portions is key. Fat bombs are calorie-dense, so if you’re trying to lose weight, having more than one as a between-meal bite could slow your progress, Stefanski says. There’s also the fact that fat bombs tend to be low in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. So if you’re on a keto diet and are eating them regularly, “make sure there’s lots of dark leafy greens somewhere else in your daily menu,” says Stefanski. And if you want to try making them at home, good news: There are tons of tasty fat bomb recipes out there to choose from—and you can turn out a big batch with just a few minutes of work. Check out the following 50+ delicious keto fat bomb recipes that will leave you feeling satisfied and powered-up. You can eat between one and three fat bombs per day—go for the full three if you’re enjoying a fat bomb breakfast, but eat less if you’re using them for a treat between meals. Find your craving—and feel free to enjoy that taste sensation!
