Bratwurst can fit a keto diet in moderation. Expect ~2.9g net carbs per 100g when fillers are minimal. The high fat and solid protein make it satisfying, but because it’s processed and often contains added sugars/starches, treat it as an occasional option and choose no-sugar, gluten-free varieties.
