either love them or hate them, but avocados are undeniably a popular food choice these days. Layer them on toast, mash them up for guacamole, or go a little fancy with avocado roses \u2013 whatever your preference, it\u2019s clear that avocados have made it to the big leagues.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taste aside, these creamy fruits are also nutrition powerhouses. They are full of fiber, vitamin E, and a generous helping of monounsaturated fats \u2013 which is the type of healthy fat that actually helps you lose fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, naturally, when you go keto, you could be wondering if avocados are part of the equation. The good news is, yes, avocados are definitely keto-friendly. They are low in net carbs (total carbs minus dietary fiber) and high in healthy fats \u2013 making them a great fit for the keto diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/8026287\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, there are a few caveats about avocados and the keto diet. Read on to find out why and how to make the most of this nutritious fruit on your keto journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Are_Avocados_Keto\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Frame_207605.gif\" alt=\"Delish Keto Recipes to Try Today\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_A_Food_Keto_Friendly\"><\/span><strong>What Makes A Food Keto Friendly?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When trying to determine if a food is keto friendly, there are several factors to consider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you should look at the macronutrient content of the food \u2013 specifically its fat, protein, and carbohydrate content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, a keto-friendly food should be low in carbohydrates and contain moderate amounts of protein and high amounts of fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499830\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). You can get away with some carbohydrates as long as the total carbohydrate content of all the foods you are consuming for the day is within the ketogenic range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, you should look at the glycemic index (GI) of the food. Foods with a low GI (less than 55) are better for keto as they will not cause a large spike in blood sugar, which can lead to cravings and energy crashes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0939475315001271\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Plus, foods that are lower glycemic tend to be more nutrient-dense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you should consider the type of fat in a food. Healthy fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are beneficial for keto, while unhealthy fats like trans fats should be avoided (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nutritionj.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12937-017-0271-4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This means that you should avoid processed and fried foods as much as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, keep in mind that some foods can be high in carbohydrates but still keto friendly \u2013 such as dark leafy greens, certain nuts and seeds, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-much-sugar-can-you-have-on-keto\/\">low-sugar<\/a> fruits, and low-carb vegetables. With these foods, you can still enjoy some carbohydrates while staying in the ketogenic range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-breakfast-ideas\/\">Keto Breakfast Ideas: Low-Carb All The Way<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Avocados_Keto\"><\/span><strong>Are Avocados Keto?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we\u2019ve gone over the basics of what makes a food keto friendly, let\u2019s take a look at avocados.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avocados are an excellent choice for the keto diet as they are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low in net carbohydrates (total carbs minus dietary fiber): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avocados contain approximately 6.4 grams of carbohydrates, by difference per half an avocado (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/2344719\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High in healthy fats:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Avocados are packed with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, making them a great source of healthy fats for the keto diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnut.2020.00078\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low glycemic:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Avocados have a GI of 40, meaning they won\u2019t cause a big spike in blood sugar levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S235261811500027X\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nutrient dense:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Avocados are also packed with essential vitamins and minerals, making them a great addition to an ideally nutrient-dense keto diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Are_Avocados_Keto\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29091\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1.png\" alt=\"Are avocados keto friendly\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1.png 960w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Avocado_Can_I_Eat_on_Keto\"><\/span><strong>How Much Avocado Can I Eat on Keto?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Keto diet has faced criticism from some experts for being too high in fat. As avocados are a relatively high-fat food, you might worry that eating too much could be detrimental to your health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is, you can have your fill of avocados without worrying about going overboard with the fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an analysis of studies, researchers have found that a daily intake of 1-3.7 avocados per day is associated with health benefits. People who ate this amount of avocados daily showed an increase in levels of HDL (the \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol) and a decreased risk of heart disease (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0002916522028258?via%3Dihub#s0160\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a more recent study, researchers found that people who ate some avocado each day had significantly higher gut microbiome diversity (good bacteria) than those who ate none. They also had a reduction in bile acid concentrations, suggesting that avocados may improve gut health and consequently the health of the rest of the body (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S002231662200102X?via%3Dihub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about weight gain, you ask?

This amount is associated with health benefits, including weight loss, improved cholesterol levels and gut health (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnut.2020.00078\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you must consider the total fat and carb content of your daily meals to make sure your overall fat and carbohydrate intake for the day is within the ketogenic range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe app is a foolproof way to go from zero to a weight loss hero in a safe and sustainable way!
