KETO VERDICTMODERATE

Chorizo can fit a keto plan with ~3.8g net carbs per 100g (brand- and recipe-dependent—fillers can raise carbs). Its high fat and bold spices make it satisfying in smaller portions; use as a flavor booster rather than a daily primary protein, and choose no-sugar-added options.
