so i get this question quite often do i look at a nut as more of a protein or a fat well it’s a combination and i just want to create a short video to explain a little bit more about that we have pecans walnuts almonds macadamia nut and pistachio if you look at the pecan and the relationship between fat 71 grams to 9 grams of protein you can see that pecan is way more of a fat than a protein right but it has some protein in it it actually has some carbs as well but if we deduct the fiber we get four grams net carbs so that’s pretty low but there is some so when you do a ketogenic diet a lot of times you don’t look at the carbs and nuts but sometimes they do add up especially if you’re going to consume a lot of pistachios okay 20 grams so it’s good to sometimes calculate some of these macros these macronutrients so pecan is pretty high in fat it has some protein as well and it’s low in carb let’s look at the walnut 52 grams of fat versus 12 grams of protein so it’s more of a fat than a protein but it has both pretty low on net carbs right plus walnuts have ala which is an omega-3 fatty acid it’s a precursor it’s not the active form but it can turn into the active form of epa and then dha not that much but it does have some omega-3 now let’s go to the almond we have 73 grams of fat okay that’s pretty high with 29 grams of protein so definitely a lot higher than these others so far with a 14 gram of net carb the macadamia nut look at this look how much fat 102 grams versus the protein which is 11 grams with a net carb of seven grams pretty low so it’s a very high fat low carb some protein which these all fit into the formula for a keto diet for sure but they have a combination of fat and protein so far nuts are mostly fat if you look at the whole picture okay then we have the pistachio 52 grams of fat versus 25 grams of protein so this right here has a good amount of protein and it has less fat but look at the carbs 20 grams so if you’re trying to lose weight and you’re looking at all the different carbs you may not want to go crazy on this but if you’re trying to gain weight okay and you want to do keto this might be a good one to focus on if you want to lose weight the macadamia nut would be really good personally i like pecans and if you see what’s unique about pecans it’s very low on carb and a real good amount of fat and it’s also some protein and it’s not very high in oxalates so it’s not going to put you at risk for kidney stones this one right here is higher in oxlets so if you’re prone to kidney stones you’d probably want to avoid almonds all right so that’s my quick video thanks for watching hey we’re back with another amazing recipe no grains no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering in keto absolutely not karen and it’s an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out i think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy to be keto but is it simple it’s super simple we hope you enjoy making it as much as we are enjoying eating it
