First, a disclaimer:
There is no “Keto” food group, “Keto” refers to a metabolic state where your body uses fat for fuel instead of glycogen. As long as your macros are 5-10% for your daily carbohydrate intake, you’ll likely be in ketosis. For most people, this will fall between 20g to 50g net carbs per day. A Ketogenic diet is low is carbs, high in fat, and moderate in protein.
So, if you want to get all of your carbs from a tablespoon of double chocolate cheesecake or a bite of fried chicken, then by all means do it. Are there healthier ways to incorporate carbs into your diet? Of course! However, don’t get hung up on what is or isn’t “Keto”, eating this way shouldn’t be stressful.
