Best Keto Meal Plans in Dubai

Keto Meal Plans in Dubai: What to Know

Following keto in Dubai is easier than most cities — the meal plan industry here has embraced low-carb, high-fat eating. But not all "keto" plans are created equal. Here's what to look for and how the main providers compare.

True keto vs "low carb": Some providers label plans as keto when they're really just low-carb (under 100g carbs/day). Strict keto means under 20-30g net carbs. VMeals and Kcal offer dedicated keto plans with macro targets designed for actual ketosis. Curry Fit's Indian Keto is a unique option if you miss Indian flavors — they've adapted traditional dishes to be keto-compliant.

Pricing reality: Keto plans typically cost 10-20% more than standard plans because ingredients like avocado, quality fats, and grass-fed proteins are pricier. Expect AED 70–111/day. Curry Fit and Meals On Me are at the lower end (AED 70/day), while VMeals charges AED 111/day for their premium keto option.

Watch the calories: Most keto plans here run 1,400 kcal/day, which works for weight loss but may be low if you're active. If you need more, Kcal's keto plan at 1,500 kcal or pairing with custom macros from Calo might work better.

Tips for Keto Success with Meal Plans

• Ask for macro breakdowns before subscribing — you want to see net carbs per meal, not just "keto" on the label
• Check if snacks are included. Some plans count 3 meals but the snacks aren't keto-friendly
• Most providers let you swap meals weekly — use this to avoid carb-heavy sides that sometimes sneak in
• Consider starting with a weekly plan to test if the provider's keto meals actually keep you in ketosis
