Squid has a few natural carbs, but plain calamari fits keto in normal portions. The problem is the fried, breaded version most restaurants serve.
Keto notes
- About 3g net carbs per 100g of plain squid
- Fried calamari is coated in flour, so it is off the menu
- Grill, saute, or braise it in olive oil instead
- Toss with garlic, chili, and lemon
Cooked simply in oil, squid is a lean, low-carb seafood.
