Is Tahini Keto?

Tahini is not keto-friendly because it is high in carbs. It may kick you out of ketosis even with a small serving size.

Too Much Carbs!

Tahini should be avoided on keto because it is very high in net carbs (11.87g of net carbs per 100g serving).

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.

As an alternative, you may look for other types of spread that are low in net carbs.

Not an Ideal Source of Fat for Keto

Tahini 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.

Clean Ingredients But High in Carbs

Tahini is free of non-keto ingredients like sugar, artificial sweetener, and refined oils, but it is 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.
