If you want to know exactly how many grams of carbs you’re eating, here are some more precise numbers or practical measurements of individual nuts in a 100-gram serving:

65 pecan halves

20 Brazil nuts

40 macadamias

Keto nuts to love

Pecans, Brazil nuts, and macadamia nuts, all on the left side of the image, have the lowest amount of carbs per serving and can be enjoyed freely on a keto diet. Well, almost freely. Some of us enjoy eating dry-roasted, salted nuts so much that we end up going overboard with them. If this is you, limit yourself to one handful, or simply avoid them. Eat these low-carb nuts as a snack (if you need one) between meals, toast them and toss into salads and other dishes, or grind them into nut butters to spread on celery, other veggies, or low-carb crackers.

The nuts in the middle of the graphic are not the best keto options, but you can probably get away with a few and still remain in ketosis. The nuts to the right – especially cashews — should be avoided on keto. You’ll very quickly reach the daily keto limit of 20-30 grams of net carbs. Less than three handfuls — about 60 cashews — is enough to reach this limit. Avoid nuts that have been treated with sugar and other glazes, such as those labeled “honey roasted,” “sweet chili,” “salted caramel,” and “spiced.” Whichever type of nuts you choose, read labels to make sure no sugar has been added.

A reason not to go nuts on nuts

While Brazil, macadamia, and pecan nuts are good keto options, if you are trying to lose weight, overeating any type of nut may be problematic. Keep in mind that all nuts have a high fat content and therefore contain lots of calories. Eating them is fine if you’re hungry and need energy. But if you’re just snacking on them between meals because the nuts taste good or you feel bored, then you’re adding calories that you don’t need. The result? Your body will burn the fat from the nuts, instead of your stored body fat — which is a problem if you want to lose weight. In this case, minimizing between-meal snacking may be the best option. As always, eat when you’re hungry, and don’t eat when you’re not hungry.

How to avoid eating too many nuts

Nuts are so tasty that they can be easy to overeat, especially salted varieties. Adding salt to nuts makes them more rewarding — and for some people, almost addictive. This can lead to eating far more than you need to feel satisfied.

What’s more, eating too many nuts can seriously slow down weight loss.
