Is Popcorn Keto?
A 1 cup popped (8g) serving of popcorn has 5.1g of net carbs (6.2g total carbs minus 1.2g fiber). That is workable on keto in a controlled portion but adds up quickly if you overdo it.
To stay inside a 5g net-carb budget, keep the portion to about 8g of popcorn. Track it against your daily total and pair it with higher-fat, lower-carb foods so a single serving does not use up your whole carb allowance.
