Glazed or honey-baked ham

Ham is a hearty and filling option that offers a good amount of protein and a lot of fat. Unless you choose a honey-glazed variety or one that contains carbs that aren't present naturally, you really can't go wrong with this keto staple.

Typically cooked with a honey-butter mixture spread on top and in between slices, honey-baked ham is a bone-in ham. Following frying, the ham's surface is covered with a dry spiced sugar mixture and broiled until a crackling glaze forms. A similar dish is a glazed ham, which is cooked in a thick sauce made of sweet and sour ingredients, such as maple syrup and mustard or fruit jam and vinegar. Although they are delicious, the sugar that has been baked onto or infused into these sweetened hams can prevent you from reaching or remaining in ketosis. Rather, select standard deli ham, which contains less than 1 g of carbs per slice (13.5 grams).
