Keto Beef Jerky Guide
Succeeding on keto is all about perfecting your low-carb snack game. Of course, getting your meals locked down and meal prepping your heart out helps, but there will always be moments on keto when you open the pantry and peruse the shelves like some hungry hawk looking for its prey. And in those stomach-growling moments, you need something fast, healthy, filling, and zero-carb. Otherwise, you risk breaking your ketosis in a moment of weakness and potentially ruining weeks of progress! We can NOT allow that to happen, keto warriors!
Low-carb beef jerky sticks are the ticket, the secret snack savior that will be your guiding light, and we’re not talking about those nasty gas station meat experiments. We’re talking about real, non-GMO, sugar-free, grass-fed beef served up in easy-to-go packaging.
But before we go deeper into why low-carb beef jerky sticks are the bee’s knees on keto, let’s cover a bit of the basics.
What is keto?
Keto is a low-carb diet that is designed to help you shed fat by activating your body’s natural defense mechanism against starvation. By restricting carbohydrates, your body begins to prioritize fat for its energy source, resulting in weight loss. This altered “survival state” is known as ketosis, and that’s why we call it the keto diet. The exact ceiling of carbohydrates you can have each day to enter and remain in ketosis varies, but most people aim for 20-50 net grams of carbohydrates per day. We calculate net carbs because some carbs like fibers aren’t digested by our bodies and therefore aren’t relevant.
What can you eat on keto?
Keto is all about eating a low-carb, high-fat, and high-protein diet. As long as you stay below your carbohydrate threshold, anything is fair game. That means bacon, eggs, avocados — whatever! You can technically eat any food (even sweets!) as long as it doesn’t break you out of ketosis. You just have to keep track. With that in mind, there really aren’t any foods that we consider “not allowed” on keto. It’s more identifying foods that are “keto-friendly”. This is what you’ll be eating the most of since you have to stick to low-carb foods to avoid breaking out of ketosis.

A short list of keto-friendly foods
Any meats, poultry, or seafood that don’t have added sugar. Eggs, cheese, yogurt, and other sugar-free dairy products. Fresh green veggies, onions, bell peppers, and other low-carb vegetables. Avocados, olive oil, mayo, mustard.
A short List of Keto-Banned Foods
Remember, as long as you aren’t breaking yourself out of your allotted carbohydrate ceiling, you can still eat any of these foods. These are just generally avoided on keto because they are high in carbohydrates and therefore not “keto-friendly”. All sugar and sugary products. Bread and other grain products.
Is beef jerky keto?
If you eat all-natural, no-additive, grass-fed beef jerky sticks like Chomps — then YES! What you need to do is avoid gas station jerky and beef sticks! Those aren’t even in the same ballpark and are filled with sugars, preservatives, and a bunch of other risky ingredients. Yuck!
