Why it fits or not

- - Check the label because processing can change carbs a lot.
- - High fat helps it fit keto better.
How to fit it into keto
- - Choose full-fat versions when possible.
- - Avoid low-fat products if carbs or starches are higher.
- - Weigh the serving once and save your usual portion.
When to keep it smaller
- - Do not count dairy as carb-free just because it is unsweetened.
- - Avoid pairing it with sugar, honey, syrup, or sweet granola.
