How the menu splits

1

Best bets

5g net carbs or less — these fit almost any keto target.

8

Solid options

Between 5g and 12g — comfortable on a standard 20–30g day.

5

Order with care

Over 12g net carbs. Workable if it is your main carb hit for the day, but check it against your target first.
