How Many Net Carbs are in Spaghetti Squash?

17/03/2019 by Fitprince Leave a Comment

There’s been a lot of hype about a spaghetti squash lately.

Do you know what it is?

Spaghetti squash is a yellow, oblong vegetable. Just like pasta, spaghetti squash has a very mild taste. This makes it perfect to use in many dishes—even as a substitute for pasta. In fact, spaghetti squash is widely considered as a healthier, low-calorie alternative to pasta. Hence, it is becoming increasingly popular among many dieters.

Each dieter tries to find something beneficial in this veggie. For example, keto dieters want to know if spaghetti squash is low in net carb content.

Let’s help them, and look at the numbers.

Net carbs in spaghetti squash

Net carbs is an important consideration while you are on keto. This is the amount of carbohydrates present minus the amount of fiber in one serving.

The net carbs in whole spaghetti squash (958 g) is 49 grams. It’s quite a lot and covers the full net carb daily allowance for keen keto dieters.

However, let’s be honest, no one wants to eat a whole spaghetti squash per day. So, if you only consume one third, your net carb intake could be around 15 g. This amount of net carbs suits a keto meal plan well.

When you prepare spaghetti squash dishes, you should be careful about the kind of ingredients you include. For example, if you add a teaspoon of sugar, it will add an extra 5 g of net carbs.

What we can conclude?

As long as you control the serving size you can include spaghetti squash in your keto eating regimen. Be careful not to overdose, though.

What else is good in spaghetti squash?

As mentioned, it is a healthier pasta alternative. This is one of the biggest reasons that more people are adding this vegetable to their diet. It lets people enjoy their favorite pasta dishes without worrying about a high carb intake.

Spaghetti squash is also a rich source of the following nutrients:

  • Vitamin A, C, B6
  • Calcium
  • Iron
  • Manganese
  • Potassium
  • Niacin

Now, it’s time to go and try a tasty and healthy spaghetti squash meal!
