LOW CARB JOURNEY
Whether you're on a low carb diet or just trying to lose some weight, you've probably wondered, "Is Butternut Squash Low Carb?"
The short answer is YES! One cup of raw butternut squash contains about 16.4 grams of total carbs, including 2.8 grams of fiber.
However, butternut squash is relatively high in carbs and should be consumed in moderation if you are following a strict low carb or keto diet.
A low-carb diet typically restricts carb intake to 20 to 130 grams per day, or 20-50 grams for a strict keto diet. Limit your intake to only 1-3 cups per day.
