The Starbucks Breakfast Staple That's Surprisingly Not Very Keto-Friendly - Tasting Table
Briefly

Starbucks offers breakfast egg bites that appear to be protein-rich options for those on a keto diet. However, they contain substantial carbohydrates, rendering them unsuitable for maintaining ketosis. The bacon and gruyere egg bites have 9 grams of carbs, while egg white and roasted red pepper bites contain 11 grams each. The presence of cottage cheese significantly increases the carb count, which contradicts keto diet principles. Thus, patrons are advised to avoid Starbucks breakfast items and opt for other fast food options that are more aligned with keto dietary restrictions.
Though egg bites might seem like a decent option when you glance over the menu, it's time to reconsider your morning breakfast run.
The main cause of this is that all of the egg bites are made with cottage cheese as the top ingredient (or second ingredient in the egg white version).
If the breakfast egg bites was made with primarily eggs and its mix-ins, the egg bites would likely become a keto-friendly option.
Instead, you'll likely be better off keeping a great tasting snack bar on hand.
