How this is calculated
total carbohydrate - fiber. Each published value is multiplied by your portion divided by the reference amount. No extra fiber, sugar alcohol or allulose deductions are applied here.
Grams and milliliters are not interchangeable. Household measures require a food-specific conversion; check your scale or product label.

WHY IT'S NOT KETO-FRIENDLY
- Not keto: very high net carbs (~58g/100g dry, ~12g/100g cooked) easily exceed daily limits
- Even small bowls (≈40g dry) are ~23g net carbs—hard to fit on strict keto
- If used at all, limit to targeted/cyclical keto around intense training
- Better swaps: Chia Seeds, Flax Seed Meal, or Psyllium Husk porridge
- Pair with fats only if carb-cycling (e.g., Heavy Cream, Coconut Oil)
- Avoid flavored packets—added sugars push carbs even higher
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
MINIMAL PORTION (CARB-CYCLE ONLY)
If cycling, cap to 20–30g dry and add Heavy Cream, Peanut Butter, or Coconut Oil to slow glucose impact.
AVOID OR SUBSTITUTE
Swap with keto porridge: warm Flax Seed Meal + Chia Seeds + Almond Milk (Unsweetened) and a pinch of salt.
POST-WORKOUT TKD
For targeted keto, a small serving immediately post-training may be used strategically—log carefully.
MIXED SEED BOWL
Replace oats entirely: combine Chia Seeds, Psyllium Husk, and Flax Seed Meal for texture and fiber.
