Is Butternut Squash Keto?

A 1 cup cubed (140g) serving of butternut squash has 13.6g of net carbs (16.4g total carbs minus 2.8g fiber). That is too high for a keto diet, where most people cap net carbs at 20 to 30g for the entire day.

If you want the same role on your plate with far fewer carbs, swap in kale (0.1g net carbs), spinach (0.4g net carbs), lettuce (0.8g net carbs). These stay within keto limits at a normal serving.
