Chorizo is a spicy, fatty sausage that fits keto at around 1g net carbs per 100g. It adds bold flavor to eggs, soups, and skillet dishes.

Keto notes

  • About 1g net carbs, high in fat and protein
  • Crumble into scrambles or render it for the flavored oil
  • Some cured sausages add sugar or fillers, so scan the label
  • Fresh Mexican style and dry Spanish style both work, just check the carbs
