Is Lentils Keto?
A 1/2 cup cooked (99g) serving of lentils has 12.1g of net carbs (19.9g total carbs minus 7.8g fiber). That is too high for a keto diet, where most people cap net carbs at 20 to 30g for the entire day.
Save lentils for off-plan meals, or use it in small amounts and account for every gram against your daily carb limit.
