Lobster has a small amount of natural carbs but stays keto-friendly in normal portions. The real risk is what goes on top of it.

Keto notes

  • About 1.3g net carbs per 100g of plain meat
  • Serve with melted butter, not a sweet dipping sauce
  • Skip lobster rolls on bread and flour-thickened bisque
  • The meat is lean, so the butter carries the fat

Steamed or grilled lobster with garlic butter is a clean keto choice.
