Best Natural Snacks for Keto Diet
The keto diet is super popular these days, but it can be challenging to follow - especially when it comes to snacks. Keto dieters eat large amounts of fat, a moderate amount of protein, and only 20-30 grams of carbohydrates per day—or about half a medium bagel—to maintain ketosis.
The nominal amount of carbs allowed on keto makes it challenging to find snacks that won't screw up your diet. But nuts should be a go-to for any keto enthusiast, as they're high in fat without being loaded with too many carbs. Below we’re counting down the best to worst nuts based on the amount of carbs in a 1oz portion.
