Good to Know
Bison runs leaner than ground beef, so a 90/10 or 85/15 blend (Force of Nature and Northstar Bison both sell these) gives you more fat than the default. Cook it gentler and pull it off the heat earlier than beef, since the low fat means it dries out fast. Plain ground meat carries no carbs, but check pre-seasoned bison patties and bison meatballs for breadcrumbs, sugar in the spice mix, or fillers that quietly add carbs.
Is Ground Bison Keto? The Full Answer
Ground Bison contains 0.10g net carbs per 4 oz raw (0.10g total carbs minus 0.00g fiber). Lean and slightly sweet, a 4 oz raw portion carries just 0.1 g net carbs alongside 22.8 g protein, so it slots into your day easily. Cook it in butter or tallow to bump the fat, since 8.1 g per serving runs lower than most beef blends.
On a standard ketogenic diet, most people target 20-25g net carbs per day. A single serving uses 1% of a 20g daily carb limit. That makes Ground Bison a reliable keto staple.
