Is Quinoa Keto?
A 1 cup cooked (185g) serving of quinoa has 34.2g of net carbs (39.4g total carbs minus 5.2g fiber). That is too high for a keto diet, where most people cap net carbs at 20 to 30g for the entire day.
Save quinoa for off-plan meals, or use it in small amounts and account for every gram against your daily carb limit.
