Hey, it’s Health Coach Tara and today we’re talking about fruits for the keto diet. I’ll be sharing the carb content of different fruits you can enjoy in moderation while sticking to your keto diet.
Stay tuned until the end. I'll share where you can find more information on the best keto foods for your keto diet and the best place for free support.
Fruit In Moderation
First of all, know that all fruits are going to have some natural sugars. So, it’s important to eat the fruit in moderation and to be aware of serving sizes.
The Importance Of Serving Size
Because serving size is important when it comes to fruit on the keto diet, I’ll share weight in grams.
Investing in an inexpensive kitchen scale is a great idea as you create your keto kitchen. There are a few scales I’ve tried over the years that I recommend. I will add those links below to take the headache out of shopping for a good one for you.
Now, let’s talk about different fruits for the keto diet.

Keto Fruit List
Avocado - varies by variety. For a black skin whole (136 g) 5.9 g total carb, 4.6 g fiber = 1.2 g and 227 calories and 21 g fat
Berries are generally lower carb but vary - and one berry may surprise you! I’ll be sharing these in order of the lowest carb berry to the highest carb berry.

There is one thing that I'm always confused about.(at least about Keto!) When we count macros, that's fats, proteins and carbs is that correct? What I'm wondering about is if something we are eating has 2 grams of sugar, aren't they carbs as well?And when we are counting net carbs should we include those 2 grams? Hope I'm clear about what I'm asking! Thanks Tara and team! Gayle
Janelle says
Yes macros are fats, proteins, and carbs. 2 grams of sugar is 2 grams carbs and would always be counted in net carbs. Hope this helps!
