No, if you choose the varieties in this collection. With 0g sugars on the label and minimal carbohydrates, they have practically no effect on blood sugar. They make a good evening snack that stops hunger and supplies protein for muscle recovery without compromising your diet progress. Varieties with sugar (American Style, European Style, Iberico Style, Sticks) are worth counting separately in your macros.
For a higher intake of natural fats, the absolute champion is Original Lamb Jerky. It provides 7g of healthy fats per bag and is extremely rich in CLA, delivering the steady energy you need on high-fat / low-carb diets.
The varieties in this collection have 0g sugars on the label and minimal carbohydrates, so their energy comes almost entirely from protein and fat. That way they have practically no effect on blood sugar and fit easily into the macros of a keto day.
All products in this collection have 0g sugars on the label and contain no synthetic sodium nitrite (E250). Preservation is natural, by reducing water activity (Aw) and using rock salt. For exact values, check the nutrition table on each product page. Get the full details on the truth about nitrites and preservatives.
Yes, our whole-muscle varieties, such as Crispy Beef Jerky and Lamb Jerky, contain only premium animal meat and salt, making them 100% compliant with the strict rules of the carnivore diet for protein intake untouched by plant ingredients.
For strict keto, choose whole-muscle varieties with 0g sugars on the label, i.e. the ones in this collection. Not every whole-muscle jerky has 0g sugar: American Style, European Style and Iberico Style contain sugar. The Sticks contain corn starch and 2.6g of sugars (as per the label), so they are better suited to a general low-carb diet.
Original Lamb Jerky delivers 7g of natural lamb fat per bag, providing a lipid profile rich in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid). This fuel directly supports ketosis and promotes optimal hormonal balance without eating carbs.
The sodium from rock salt makes up for the rapid loss of electrolytes typical of the low-carb adaptation phase. Restoring this mineral balance gets rid of dizziness (keto flu) and brings back mental focus right away, supporting nerve conduction.
Safety is ensured by clean biotechnological methods: slow dehydration (which removes the water bacteria need to grow) and osmotic preservation with rock salt. We don't depend on chemicals. More scientific details can be found in our guide to natural curing and maturation.
Original Chicken Jerky is optimized for a calorie deficit, providing 31g of slow-release protein at only 150 Kcal. Digesting this much protein generates a high thermic effect (TEF), raising your metabolic rate and suppressing hunger with minimal fat (2g).
At the 100-calorie mark, jerky delivers far more physical volume and 5 times more protein than a handful of nuts, blocking the release of ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and keeping the glycemic index at zero. Read the in-depth analysis in the detailed nutritional comparison.
