Yes, eggs are good for keto. In fact, they are one of the most keto-friendly foods.
The American Diabetes Association also recommends whole eggs as a healthy choice for diabetics.
Not only will they allow you to stay in ketosis, they are also very nutritious. Eggs have a lot of nutritional value that is beneficial to your diet and health.
One egg has about six grams of fat, five grams of protein, one gram carbohydrate, and 70 calories. It has vitamins A, E, D, B12 as well as minerals like calcium and iron in it too!
Eggs are also an affordable option for breakfast or dinner with plenty of options on how you can cook them up!
Eggs: The Ketogenic Super Food!
I think of eggs as a good keto super food because it checks off a lot of the boxes when it comes to fitting a ketogenic diet into real life.
Especially in my house where we have a wide range of special dietary food requirements. Someone with seizures (myself), lactose intolerance (my husband), nut allergies (my daughter), and autism (my son).
Eggs are good for keto which helps me with my seizures and my son’s autism, they are lactose free, and they do not contain nuts. Check, check, check and check!
Eggs are also great for versatility in a world where we are always on the run.
Boiled eggs can be packed easily for work and school lunches, and eggs for breakfast is a breeze as it takes mere minutes to make any style.
Eggs are Keto Friendly…Unless…
Of course, if you add a bunch of carb heavy, starchy and sugary toppings and sides, you may ruin the whole darn thing. Proceed with caution.
