Cashew Nuts
Nuts are an excellent source of plant protein and high-quality natural fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They also contain essential minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. But not all of them help keep the body in a state of ketosis. Chestnuts, pistachios, and cashew nuts can actually hurt more than they help due to their high carbohydrate content. Cashew nuts have about 9 grams of carb per serving and may not line up with your keto needs even when eaten in small quantities. Healthy alternatives such as almonds, walnuts, and macadamia nuts can be eaten in quantities that will give you the desired nutrition while promoting fat loss and muscle gain.
