Are Chicken Nuggets Keto?

Chicken Nuggets are not keto-friendly because they are high in carbs and they contain vegetable oil.

Too Much Carbs!

Chicken Nuggets should be avoided on keto because they are very high in net carbs (15.54g of net carbs per 100g serving).

It is important to limit your net carb consumption to 20g - 30g per day to stay in ketosis. You can calculate your ideal daily net carb allowance by using this keto macros calculator.

As an alternative, you may look for other dishes that are low in net carbs.

Contains Vegetable Oil

Vegetable Oil is a highly refined oil that is prone to oxidation and may cause inflammation in the body.

Highly refined oils are usually extracted using high heat and chemicals. This process strips out the nutrients from the oil and replaces them with harmful chemicals.

It is important to get your fats from healthy sources so your body can burn clean fuel while on ketosis. You may check out our list of best and worst oils for keto here.
