Is Italian sausage Keto?

Italian sausage is high in protein but it’s also high in fat. Your Italian sausage may have saturated fats, but that’s okay in moderation. When buying processed sausages, make sure to check the label for fillers. If your sausage contains gluten or wheat products, there will be some carbs in the sausage. However, Italian sausage can still be very Keto-friendly when eaten moderately!

What other vegetables are Keto?

Mushrooms are some of the most Keto-friendly vegetables you can eat. You really can’t go wrong with any variety. Other vegetables that are low in carbs are zucchini, bell peppers, green beans, snap peas, celery, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower. You can try adding more veggies into your skillet to your taste, and to make the skillet more filling.
