Zero-carb fat that fits keto macros, but typical (high-linoleic) sunflower oil is heavy in omega-6. Prefer *high-oleic* sunflower oil if used, and rotate with more stable, lower-omega-6 options. Reserve for higher-heat cooking when better choices aren’t available.

Use refined or high-oleic sunflower oil for quick sautéing or wok stir-fries when cost and heat tolerance matter.
Shallow-fry keto proteins (e.g., chicken thighs, pork chops) at moderate-high heat; drain well.
Lightly coat low-carb vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, cauliflower) before roasting.
Common in restaurants; expect it in fried or sautéed foods when dining out.
Stretch pricier oils by blending small amounts with sunflower oil for large-batch meals.
Reserve for recipes requiring neutral flavor or higher heat; otherwise favor avocado or olive oil.
