Good to Know
Most fresh brats from Johnsonville or Klement's stick close to these numbers, but flavored versions (think beer-and-cheddar or apple-chicken) can sneak in extra carbs from added sugar or fruit. Grilling or pan-searing keeps things clean, while the trouble usually starts at the bun, the ketchup, and sweet relish. If you want a topping, sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard add flavor without much carb cost.

Bratwurst brings just 2.5 g net carbs per link along with 24.8 g of fat, which makes it an easy fit for a high-fat day.
