Cashews
While cashews have a higher carb content, they also have a high protein content, making them a good alternative for increasing satiety. If you are on a keto diet and want to include cashews, the easiest way to do so is to incorporate them into a meal or pair them with other low-carb foods to balance things out.
Cashews, on the other hand, have a unique component called copper, which is essential for fat burning. You can get 70% of your daily copper needs from only one ounce of cashews, so even if you only eat a few of these nuts every now and then, they will help you build up your copper reserves. According to research, copper is a critical component in the breakdown of fat cells and is required for your body to be able to use fat cells for energy.
In one ounce of cashews, you will get:
- 157 calories
- 8.5 grams of carbohydrates
- 5 grams of protein
- 12.4 grams of fat
- 1 gram of fiber
- 7.5 net carbs
