The standard ketogenic diet requires a macronutrient ratio of approximately 70-80% fat and 5-10% carbohydrates. This makes lechon, a traditional Filipino roasted pork, an excellent candidate for a keto-friendly meal, provided that certain high-carb elements are avoided.

According to nutritional data, pork crackling can contain anywhere from 550 to 670 calories per 100g, depending on the cooking process and fat content. This high-calorie density makes it a satisfying snack, but also one that requires mindful consumption when monitoring intake.
