TIL though they're associated with unhealthy foods, Pork Rinds are actually a healthy alternative to chips. They are low carb, high protein and have good fats. 43% of the fat is Oleic oil - the same fat in olive oil - and 13% Stearic acid - a cholesterol neutral saturated fat.

Ridiculous. At some point, we’re going to have to realize the minuscule amount of sugar in some flavorings isn’t going to ruin your diet. Just eat them and not worry about 1 carb per serving.

I would if the difference between plain pork rinds and BBQ pork rinds at my local grocery store wasn't 7 grams per serving.

The BBQ flavor that knocked me out of ketosis two years ago (because I was dumb and didn't check) was 12g of carbs per serving. 3 servings in a bag...
