Keto nuts to love

Figuring out which foods are suitable for a very-low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet can be tricky.

Many nuts and seeds are low in net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) and high in healthy fats, making them a perfect fit.

They’re also full of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Still, some varieties are lower in carbs than others.

Here’s our list of the top 7 low-carb nuts, ranked by the number of carbs.

1. Pecan nuts – 100 g contains 4 grams of net carbs.
2. Brazil nuts – 100 g contains 4 grams of net carbs.
3. Macadamia – 100 g contains 5 grams of net carbs.
4. Hazelnuts – 100 g contains 7 grams of net carbs.
5. Walnuts – 100 g contains 7 grams of net carbs.
6. Peanuts – 100 g contains 8 grams of net carbs.
7. Almonds – 100 g contains 9 grams of net carbs.

Pecans, Brazil nuts, and macadamia nuts have the lowest amount of carbs per serving and can be enjoyed freely on a keto diet. 

These should be the first choices for nuts when following a low-carb diet as they are low in carbs, high in fat, and most people find them delicious!

Eat these low-carb nuts as a snack (if you need one) between meals, toast them and toss into salads and other dishes, or grind them into nut butter to spread on celery, other veggies.
