Processed meats

You might not expect meat to have carbohydrates. Processed meats, such as salami, sausages, meatballs, and anything brined, may include trace quantities. This is because these meats frequently contain fillers (such as breadcrumbs) and flavorings (like sugar).

For example, meatballs include five grams of total carbohydrates and three grams of net carbs per 6-piece serving. Deli turkey has three grams of total and net carbohydrates per serving (about two slices). There are three grams of total and net carbohydrates in one serving of maple breakfast sausage. Three grams of total and net carbohydrates are included in one link of chicken sausage. And total and net carbohydrates are roughly one gram in four slices of salami.
