  • Fast meal option: Minimal prep when you need protein quickly
  • Very keto-compatible formats: Roll-ups, lettuce wraps, and salad toppers
  • Easy macro balancing: Add fats like cheese or mayo to improve satiety
  • Lots of variability: Carbs can increase in honey-glazed, BBQ, or “sweet” varieties
