Legumes on Keto: Beans, Lentils & the Carbs

Legumes are nutritious, but their carb load makes them a poor fit for keto. Beans, lentils, and chickpeas are high in starch, so even a modest scoop can use most of a daily net carb budget. A few, like green beans and edamame, sit low enough to work in small portions.
