Is Gumbo Keto?
Gumbo is high in fats but should be consumed minimally on keto because it is high in net carbs.
High in Net Carbs
Gumbo is high in carbs (9.41g of net carbs per 100g serving) so you need to avoid it as much as possible.
It is important to limit your net carb consumption to 20g - 30g per day to stay in ketosis.

Not an Ideal Source of Fat for Keto
Gumbo is 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.
