Are Black Soybeans Keto?
Black Soybeans are high in fats but should be consumed minimally on keto because they are high in net carbs.
High in Net Carbs
Black Soybeans are high in carbs (9.3g of net carbs per 100g serving) so you need to avoid them as much as possible.
It is important to limit your net carb consumption to 20g - 30g per day to stay in ketosis.
You can calculate your ideal daily net carb allowance by using this keto macros calculator. Then use the serving calculator below to determine a serving size that fits your net carb budget.
Not an Ideal Source of Fat for Keto
Black Soybeans are not an ideal source of fat for keto because they are high in carbs.
Your body will only be able to use fats as energy (ketosis) if you restrict your net carbs to 20g - 30g per day. Thus, it is important to get your fats from high-fat foods that are also low in net carbs.
Avocado, salmon, and ghee are great examples of foods that are both low in carbs and high in fat.
Minimally Processed But High in Carbs
Black Soybeans are minimally processed but not a good fit for keto because they are high in carbs.
It is important to check both macros and ingredients of your foods to achieve a healthy weight loss on keto.
Here are the common ingredients to be checked for keto - sweeteners, oils, and food additives.
