Is Mongolian Beef Keto?

Mongolian Beef should be avoided on keto because it is a high-carb food that contains unhealthy ingredients like sugar and vegetable oil.

High in Net Carbs

Mongolian Beef is high in carbs (4.64g of net carbs per 100g serving) so you need to avoid it as much as possible.

It is important to limit your net carb consumption to 20g - 30g per day to stay in ketosis.

Contains Sugar

Sugar is a high-glycemic sweetener that can raise your blood sugar level and prevent you from reaching ketosis.

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

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.
