What Chips are Keto-Friendly? Since most chips on the market today are made with potatoes or corn flour, it’s safe to say most chip brands are not keto-friendly. Fifteen potato chips is about 15 grams of carbs. That’s one carb per chip. Lay’s makes its chips with potatoes, vegetable oil and salt, so not only are they high in carbs, but they are also are cooked in unhealthy oil. Corn, Canola, and soybean oil are highly processed and contain extremely high levels of omega-6 fatty acids which lead to inflammation.
Are Tortilla Chips Keto-Friendly? Tortilla chips are typically made with corn, vegetable oil and salt. One serving of Tostitos Nacho chips comes in at 32 grams of carbs per serving (40 chips). Having a few chips isn’t necessarily going to ruin your keto macros, but who can stop at just one handful? The chip aisle at your Aldi or Publix is going to be Carbohydrate Junk Food City. Stick to the keto chips in our list and you will be just fine.
The 10 Best Keto Chips Chomp down on the best keto chips from store-bought to homemade and everything in between. 1. Pork Rinds – 0g Net Carbs Pork rinds (also known as chicharrones or pork cracklins) are made out of fried pork skin, making them the quintessential keto carnivore snack. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and some shredded cheese and you’ve got keto nachos in a matter of minutes. # Look for brands that fry the rinds in pork fat like EPIC Provisions and 4505 Meats. # Avoid any pork rinds that list vegetable oil in the ingredients. # Pair pork rinds with any keto-friendly dip or try delicious flavors like Chili & Salt or Jalapeno Cheddar. Pork rinds are essential to our keto kitchen and come in handy for crunchy toppings and crispy coatings. Try pork rinds in these low-carb recipes.
