Is Vitacost Vanilla Whey Protein Complex Keto?

Vitacost Vanilla Whey Protein Complex should be consumed minimally on keto because it is high in net carbs.

High in Net Carbs

Vitacost Vanilla Whey Protein Complex is high in carbs (9.38g 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.

You can calculate your ideal daily net carb allowance by using this keto macros calculator. Then use the serving calculator below to determine a serving size that fits your net carb budget.

Low in Fats

Vitacost Vanilla Whey Protein Complex is both high in carbs and low in fats, which are the exact opposite of the macros required on a keto diet.

The ideal macronutrient ratio for keto is 70% fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% carbs. This means the majority of your foods should be both low in carbs and high in fats.

Avocado, salmon, and ghee are great examples of foods that are both low in carbs and high in fat.

Clean Ingredients But High in Carbs

Vitacost Vanilla Whey Protein Complex is free of non-keto ingredients like sugar, artificial sweetener, and refined oils, but it is high in carbs.

It is important to check both macros and ingredients of your foods to achieve a healthy weight loss on keto.

Here are the common ingredients to be checked for keto - sweeteners, oils, and food additives.
