Tag: Brisket carbs

While most unseasoned barbecue meats like brisket and pulled pork contain virtually no carbohydrates, a standard sweet BBQ sauce can pack between 6 and 17 grams of sugar per tablespoon. So, is barbecue high in carbs? It depends on the ingredients you choose and how you prepare it.

The biggest surprise for many people is that beef itself contains virtually zero carbohydrates, making it a perfect protein for keto and low-carb diets. So, how many carbs are in barbecue beef? The answer is not in the meat, but almost entirely in the sauce and preparation methods.
