Then, the ribs are simply cooked in your oven. A brushing of extra-buttery barbecue sauce adds sweetness and a sticky texture to the outside of your ribs. It also gives your ribs a glazed, crunchy bite! Use this Keto recipe for your next week of meal prepping.

Selecting Ribs On The Keto Diet

You probably know a thing or two about selecting meats at the grocery store. When you don’t have to count macros, you can focus on choosing the most valuable piece of meat with the nicest cut and even fat distribution. On the Keto diet, choose ribs that have thicker, meatier parts over fattier ones. Your ribs are already high in fat, and with shrinkage during cooking, you want to make the 25% protein portion of your diet worth every penny! Look for fat strands that stretch throughout the ribs but don’t collect in large chunks.

Marbling 101

If you don’t happen to know a thing or two about selecting meats at the grocery store, you need to know what marbling is. Marbling refers to the fat that is distributed throughout a cut of meat. Good marbling is recognized by an even distribution of fat, hard strips within the meat, and clean white color. When the meat cooks, this fat will melt into the meat to tenderize it and develop flavor.
