You have some flexibility in choosing the style of pork sausage you prefer, as Italian, Eastern European, and American styles all work well and have similar macros. If you choose Italian sausage, avoid spicy or flavored options that may have more carbohydrates per serving. Individual links in casings are the best choice. Eastern European smoked sausages like Kielbasa can also be used, but make sure the sausage contains pork and not only beef. Both German and American styles of brats are a good choice, but choose plain styles and avoid stuffed or flavored brats, such as apple or honey flavored.
