Tag: Low carb grits

Traditional grits are notoriously high in carbs, with a single cup containing over 30 grams of net carbs, making them unsuitable for a ketogenic diet. But satisfying a craving for that creamy, savory comfort food doesn't mean sacrificing ketosis, because a delicious keto substitute for grits can be made with a variety of low-carb ingredients.

According to the USDA, one cup of cooked, enriched white grits contains approximately 31.15 grams of carbohydrates. This means a standard 1/2 cup serving holds a significant portion of your daily carbohydrate intake, though the exact amount can vary based on the grits' processing and preparation method.
