Keto friendliness
Portuguese cuisine can be adapted for keto, but requires consistent vigilance to avoid ubiquitous high-carb sides.
Top ingredients
Excellent traditional keto ingredients include grilled fish, various meats, seafood, eggs, olive oil, and some fresh cheeses.
Danger zones
The primary carb traps are the ever-present potatoes, rice, and bread, along with bean-filled stews and sugary pastries.
Best for
This cuisine works best for keto dieters confident in ordering specific protein-focused dishes and clearly requesting no starchy accompaniments.
