Keto Approved
Xylitol
0.00g net carbs per 1 tsp
Count it as 0 net carbs per teaspoon, since all 4 grams here come from sugar alcohols that don't raise your numbers. One heads-up: it's toxic to dogs, so keep it well away from pets, and large amounts can upset your stomach until you adjust.

Good to Know
Brands like Now Foods and Xyla sell it as a single-ingredient powder, so you avoid the maltodextrin or dextrose blends some baking mixes hide. Because it browns and dissolves much like sugar, it works well in coffee, lemonade, and baked goods without a gritty aftertaste. One serious caution: it is highly toxic to dogs even in tiny amounts, so keep any bag or sweetened treat well out of reach if you have pets.
Is Xylitol Keto? The Full Answer
Xylitol contains 0.00g net carbs per 1 tsp (4.00g total carbs minus 0.00g fiber and 4.00g sugar alcohols). Count it as 0 net carbs per teaspoon, since all 4 grams here come from sugar alcohols that don't raise your numbers. One heads-up: it's toxic to dogs, so keep it well away from pets, and large amounts can upset your stomach until you adjust.
On a standard ketogenic diet, most people target 20-25g net carbs per day. A single serving uses 0% of a 20g daily carb limit. That makes Xylitol a reliable keto staple.
