LCHF and plum tomatoes?

[gintyc]

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but been doing google searches and finding all kinds of answers on tomatoes and not sure what to make of it.

I absolutely love plum tomatoes in particular, I have a tin of organic ones and these are the nutrition numbers per 100g:

Energy 85kj/20kcal

Carbohydrate 3.0 g Of which sugars 3.0g

Protein 1.2 g

Salt 0.05g

(sorry if it looks weird, having to translate from Danish and not sure how the english is usually worded)

I am doing well (I think) not having much in the way of carbs/sugar but would not like to ruin the week having tomatoes if they aren't really allowed. I did eat some thin slices of fresh tomato yesterday, but am a bit confused to be honest about them.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi gintyc, tomatoes (plum or otherwise) are absolutely fine on an LCHF diet. I eat them every day

These visual guides may help dietdoctor.com/low-carb/vis... and this is all about carbs in tomatoes medicalnewstoday.com/articl...

Remember, no question is stupid and your English is perfect

Thank you! I am extremely happy as I think I have a bit of an addiction to them if I have eggs at breakfast in particular. Brilliant, I have now got the guides saved on my bookmarks bar which should really help, thanks. I am actually English, but lived in Denmark a while and I get everything mixed up haha. Thanks again! Looking forward to tomatoes for tomorrow's breakfast now 😜

Life without tomatoes doesn't bear thinking about!

No wonder your English is so good!
