Is Yogurt Keto-Friendly?

Though yogurt contains a fair amount of carbs, you can consume it in moderation on keto.

Keto if Limited

• While yogurt has a fair amount of net carbs (4.66g per 100g serving), you can still enjoy it in moderation on keto.
• Be mindful of your serving sizes not to exceed the daily allowable carb limit of 20–30g. It is best to track the macros in your foods to stay in ketosis.
• 100% keto-friendly dairy options are heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

Low in Fats

• Yogurt is too low in fats to help maintain a healthy keto diet.
• It would be best to supplement yogurt with other healthy fat sources on keto, such as nut butter and extra virgin olive oil.
• Fats are essential during ketosis, but yogurt is low in dietary fats.
• 70% of your calories on keto come from fats, and if you are not getting enough fat on keto, your body will not meet the number of calories necessary for basal metabolic functions.
