Pomegranates on keto?

I was reading an article that pomegranates seeds are ok to on keto. Just don’t drink the juice from the stores bc of all the added sugars what r ur thoughts on incorporating the seeds into a keto diet?

The juice comes from the seeds, so yes, they do have carbs. A single pomegranate has about 50 grams of carbs (about 40 net). You may be able to fit some into your carb allowance if you want just a spoonful for garnish, but you'll need to be careful if you're using it as a standalone snack because it would eat up your carb allowance and won't leave much for vegetables.

This is one of the reasons I found keto unsustainable. Seemingly nutritious and delicious foods that can easily fit into my calorie allowance would not fit my carb allowance without sacrificing too much.

You just have to watch your carbs. Half cup of seeds has 13 net carbs. I don't eat any fruits, but that's my preference.
