Tag: Corn keto

A single medium ear of corn contains approximately 19 grams of net carbs, which can consume a significant portion of a typical keto dieter’s daily allotment of 20–50 grams. So, can I eat corn during keto? For most, its high carbohydrate density makes it a poor choice, especially in standard serving sizes.

According to nutrition data, a single cup of boiled yellow corn contains approximately 21 grams of total carbohydrates, with 19 grams being net carbs. A typical ketogenic diet restricts daily carbohydrate intake to between 20 and 50 grams, meaning a standard serving of corn can easily use up or exceed your entire daily carb limit and will likely kick you out of ketosis.
