Is Doritos Nacho Cheese Keto?

Doritos Nacho Cheese is not keto-friendly because it is a high-carb processed food that contains unhealthy ingredients like sugar, canola oil, and red #40.

Too Much Carbs!

Doritos Nacho Cheese should be avoided on keto because it is very high in net carbs (60.72g 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 tortilla chips that are low in net carbs.

Contains High-Glycemic Sweeteners

Doritos Nacho Cheese contains high-glycemic sweeteners like sugar, dextrose, and maltodextrin. These sweeteners can raise your blood sugar level and prevent you from reaching ketosis.

As an alternative, you may look for other tortilla chips that use keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol.

Contains Highly Refined Oils

Doritos Nacho Cheese contains highly refined canola oil, corn oil, and sunflower oil. These refined oils are 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.

Contains Harmful Food Additives

Doritos Nacho Cheese contains red #40, yellow #5, and yellow #6 which are included in our list of food additives to avoid for keto.

Food additives are potentially harmful to health and should be avoided as much as possible.

Most of your diet should come from minimally processed foods to achieve a healthy weight loss on keto.
