Why it fits or not
- - Lactose is high enough to affect the carb limit quickly.
- - Lower fat leaves less room for lactose and carbs.
- - Check the label because processing can change carbs a lot.
How to fit it into keto
- - Choose full-fat versions when possible.
- - Avoid low-fat products if carbs or starches are higher.
- - Use milk as a small addition, not as a large drink.
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.
