Sour Cream
1.40g net carbs per 2 tbsp
Dolloped over chili or stirred into a creamy sauce, it adds 1.4 g net carbs per 2 tbsp while bringing 5.8 g of fat to the plate. Reach for the full-fat version, since light and fat-free tubs often swap in starches and milk solids that push the carbs higher.

Good to Know
Reach for full-fat over light or fat-free, since the reduced-fat versions often add fillers and bump the carb count. Check the label for thickeners like modified food starch, which show up in some store-brand tubs and add sneaky carbs. Daisy is a reliable pick because its only ingredient is cultured cream, with nothing else mixed in.
Is Sour Cream Keto? The Full Answer
Sour Cream contains 1.40g net carbs per 2 tbsp (1.40g total carbs minus 0.00g fiber). Dolloped over chili or stirred into a creamy sauce, it adds 1.4 g net carbs per 2 tbsp while bringing 5.8 g of fat to the plate. Reach for the full-fat version, since light and fat-free tubs often swap in starches and milk solids that push the carbs higher.
On a standard ketogenic diet, most people target 20-25g net carbs per day. A single serving uses 7% of a 20g daily carb limit. That makes Sour Cream a reliable keto staple.
