LOBSTER ROLL KETO DIET: AM I ALLOWED TO EAT THEM?

Have you been craving lobster rolls recently but you’re on the keto diet? If so, you’re partially in luck. Being on the keto diet doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your favorite seafood flavors, but you may have to make different choices on the menu to reflect your dietary restrictions. 

What is the Keto Diet and How Does it Work?

A keto or ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet. Unlike similar diets, keto specifically focuses on healthy fats, which provides as much as 90% of your daily calorie intake. Keto works due to your liver making ketone bodies, which is the fuel your liver produces from stored fat. Your body burns fat for fuel instead of sugar from carbs for energy. Keto diets focus on minimal carb intake, typically around 20-50 grams, with far more fats to compensate, upwards of 140-180 grams worth. Also take note that it takes a few days for your keto diet to start working, so don’t expect immediate results. 

Can I Still Eat Lobster Rolls?

Well, yes and no. Take the roll out of the lobster and what are you left with? That’s right, all that lobster goodness, but no signature lobster roll bread. Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls may be famous for our titular lobster rolls, but that doesn’t mean you have to give them up to stay lobster roll keto compliant. 

Those on a keto diet are taking in varying amounts of carbs, proteins, and fats, with fats and proteins being higher on the scale of importance than carbs. Fish and seafood are excellent keto foods because they are low in carbs, highly nutritious, and can be prepared with your keto needs in mind. Specific to lobster rolls, you could get the lobster roll without the roll to cut out the carbs, essentially making the lobster roll keto, or considering their size, indulge in one or two and have them be your daily carb count. 

Alongside lobster rolls and seafood, keto-friendly foods include cheese, low-carb veggies like mushrooms or celery, eggs, healthy oils, nuts and seeds, butter and cream, and seasoning. Lobster and butter go hand-in-hand, so using lobster to keep your keto diet on track is the perfect choice.
