Keto friendliness
Adapting to keto requires vigilance due to pervasive carb sides and breading, but core meat dishes are often suitable.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include fatty cuts of pork and beef, some rich gravies (if un-thickened), and fermented cabbage like sauerkraut.
Danger zones
Major carb traps are breaded schnitzels, flour-thickened sauces, potato and bread dumplings (Knödel), and all ubiquitous pastries and desserts.
Best for
Ideal for experienced keto dieters willing to explicitly request modifications or those content with simple, un-breaded meat dishes and vegetable sides.
