Are peas keto safe? Yes, they are…but…in smaller quantities. They are somewhat low in carbs per 100 grams compared to many other high carb foods you could eat, but proceed with caution.
At 9 grams of carbs per 100 grams of green peas, you can eat some on the side or put a small amount in your meal.
Staying Keto Safe with Peas
If you are casual low carb and just trying to eat healthier in general, there’s nothing wrong with using peas in your meals.
However, if you are on a strict ketogenic diet and you are monitoring ketone levels to stay in ketosis, it would be wise to use peas sparingly or not at all.
I was in a bad car wreck when I was a teenager, and later in life I developed seizures as a result. I began researching the connection of seizures and other brain activity to diet. My son was born and he is autistic, which lead me even further down the road of research in this field. Add to that my daughter's nut allergies and my husband's sleep apnea (aren't we a bunch?), and I decided to share with the world the many things I have learned so far and hope to learn from you as well. I am not a medical professional, and you should always exercise caution when when seeking medical and nutritional advice online.
