Any downside to eating a lot of smoked sausage?

I’m on a pretty heavy IF keto cut going for around 1500 cal. Can I eat like 6 Walmart refrigerated smoked sausages daily (+big salad and carbonaut)?

Biggest issue I see with it is salt for 1500 cal 6 sauages it’s around 150% daily dose but I’m already consuming snake juice so that number is already high I can reduce sodium there and I’m not in a group who need to reduce salt.

Also I’m guessing smoked meats will have higher histamine? Or that only applies to dry meats that were aged? I’m not histamine intolerant so shouldn’t be an issue.

Anything I’m missing?

Personally, Ive been trying to limit processed meat such as sausage due to concerns with processed meats and added nitrates. Instead I’m trying to intake high quality and premium meats during IF. Nothing wrong with the occasional processed meat but it sounds like you are proposing making sausage a staple item.

Answer

It’ll taste good but it depends what your concerns are. You can lose weight on it, but studies have demonstrated it’s carcinogenic and will cause problems. It’s also extremely high in salt in our already over salted diets so your blood pressure will suffer. I personally try to limit it.
