Common questions asked when ordering at KFC if you are on a ketogenic diet!
KFC coleslaw is not fit for a low-carb diet and ketogenic diet. With 10 grams of net carbs per individual serving, KFC coleslaw can kick your body out of ketosis if not properly accounted for.
It is entirely possible to include a fast food meal on your keto diet and still loose weight. But how drastically and how often you have a keto diet cheat is certainly going to affect your weight loss progress in the long run.
1 serving of KFC’s Large Fries contains 67g total carbs, 61g net carbs, 21g fat, 6g protein, and 450 calories. It’s not a good option to order if you are on a ketogenic diet and/or low-carb diet.
