Tag: Keto friendly ribs

The average store-bought barbecue sauce contains 10-15 grams of carbohydrates per two-tablespoon serving, with most of those carbs coming from sugar. This means the majority of carbs in ribs with barbecue sauce come from the sauce itself, not the meat.

Plain pork ribs are naturally very low in carbohydrates, consisting primarily of protein and fat. The misconception that barbecue ribs are high in carbs stems almost entirely from the sweet, sugary sauces and rubs that are traditionally used.
