Nuts? An Easy Keto Snack in Moderation

Nuts can be a super convenient snack for staying keto while on the go. I like to keep small pre-portioned bags of nuts in my purse so I have something easy to eat when I get hungry while out and about. Be warned! Nuts vary in fat, protein, and carb counts so it's important to know what you are eating. Don't blindly grab any old nut thinking they are the same macros as a different nut.

Here is the breakdown of some of the more common nuts' macros:

Peanuts (1 ounce) 14g fat, 7g protein, 5g carbs, 2g fiber = 3 net carbs

Walnuts (1 ounce) 10g fat, 2g protein, 2g carbs, 1g fiber = 1 net carb

Cashews (1 ounce) 7g fat, 3g protein, 3g carbs, 0g fiber = 3 net carbs

Brazil Nuts (1 ounce) 8g fat, 1g protein, 1g carbs, 0g fiber = 1 net carb

Almonds (1 ounce) 14g fat, 5g protein, 6g carbs, 3g fiber = 3 net carbs

*Please note, you should always double check packaging to see the nutrition information of the brand you are buying. I used MyFitnessPal to pull this information together but brands do vary.
