Is Sugar Keto?

A 1 tbsp (12g) serving of sugar has 12g of net carbs (12g total carbs minus 0g fiber). That is too high for a keto diet, where most people cap net carbs at 20 to 30g for the entire day.

Save sugar for off-plan meals, or use it in small amounts and account for every gram against your daily carb limit.
