05/08/2018 - 12:00 PM

One of the best things about being on the keto diet [1] is the emphasis on consuming good fats. In my case, that means indulging in nuts whenever I need a quick pick-me-up. However, it's important to note that not all nuts are created equal when you're on the keto diet. Since the emphasis with keto focuses on low carbs and high fats [2], you have to keep an eye on serving sizes as well as knowing which nuts bring the most bang for your buck as far as fats are concerned. (Say goodbye to peanuts.)

Read through to check out the best nuts to indulge in when you're getting your keto on [3]!

Pecans

One cup of chopped pecans will get you only 4.6 grams of net carbs and an awesome 78.5 grams of fat!

Cashews

Cashews are sneaky; one cup of these will yield 40.7 grams of net carbs and 63.5 grams of fat. Go easy with these guys!

Almonds

A cup of dry-roasted almonds will give you 10.3 grams of net carbs and an astounding 73 grams of fat.

Pistachios

Pistachios are also a bit higher in carbs; a cup of this nut will provide 20.2 grams of net carbs and 56.5 grams of fat.

Pine Nuts

Pine nuts are perfect for adding to any salad (or even just broccoli) if you want to bring the oomph factor! A cup of these will provide 12.7 grams of net carbs and 92.3 grams of fat.

Walnuts

Walnuts are a great addition to any keto diet with only 8.2 grams of net carbs and 76.3 grams of fat.

Macadamia Nuts

The superstar of many keto diets, a cup of macadamia nuts provides 6.8 grams of net carbs and 100 grams of fat.
