Eating almonds on a keto diet
A serving of almonds, 1 oz or 23 whole kernels (28.4 g), contains 2.6 g net carbs, which works out to 13% of a 20 g keto day.
With 2.6 g in every serving, almonds fit in measured portions: 7 servings take the entire 20 g day.
In one serving of almonds you get 164 kcal, along with 6 g of protein and 14.2 g of fat.
Almonds list 6.1 g of total carbs, and 3.5 g of that is fiber, so subtracting it leaves the net carbs.
To get fewer carbs than almonds, try flaxseed: each 1 tbsp, ground (7 g), has 0.1 g net carbs.
