Are there any hidden sources of carbs I should be aware of?.

The biggest source of secret carbs are usually things like sauces, dressings, and condiments. It really depends on the ingredients in each brand. 

For example; grainy mustard may have 1-2 grams of carbs per serving, BUT honey mustard could have 8-10 grams because of the honey added to it. 

BBQ sauces and Ketchups also have a lot of added sugar, maple syrup, or honey which make them high carb. 

The best way to avoid secret sugars/carbs in condiments is to make your own. You can cheat this by looking at your favorite sauce's ingredient list, and recreating it without the sugar content or using a narutal sugar free sweetener like Stevia. 

Check out Kraft brand BBQ SAUCE below. 10 grams of carbs in one serving. 

Usually keto diets require to limit the carb intake up to 40-50 g a day. They change high carb food with fatty foods like dairy y and eggs.
