Is Tuna Keto
Yes, tuna is keto-friendly. In fact, it is one of the best types of protein that you can eat on a low-carb diet. It is high in healthy fats (like Omega-3 fatty acids) and low in carbs. In fact, it’s not just low in carbs – one can has zero grams net carbs.
Palmini Lasagna Noodles
Palmini noodles are made from the hearts of palm. They have so much fiber in them, that they bring the net carb amount really low and they fit in perfectly in a keto diet. They are a fantastic low-carb noodle option.
I used the lasagna noodles in my tuna casserole because they are the perfect shape and remind me of the casserole my mom used to make.
Where To Buy Lasagna Palmini Noodles
You can buy lasagna Palmini noodles at Walmart. Be sure to check your local grocery store too, there is a chance they might sell it. It’s sold in a can, so look for it in the pasta aisle in a can.
