Is 1 tsp keto-friendly?

Limit it

1 Tsp is borderline for keto — it works only in small portions. It has 18.5g net carbs per 100g (18.8g total carbs − 0.3g fiber). On a standard keto diet (20–50g net carbs per day), even one serving uses a large share of your daily carbs, so keep portions small or save it for a higher-carb day.
