Cherries and Carb Content

Cherries (one 138g serving) have only 22 grams. That is a moderate amount of carbohydrate considering it's a high volume food.

They also have 3 grams of fiber per serving and since fiber counts as a carb that means that cherries have only 19 grams of carbs per serving - fiber doesn't go into the bloodstream and affect your insulin or get stored as fat which is why it doesn't count as a carb.

It doesn't matter what diet you're on, in my book that counts as a moderate-carb food which means you can eat fruit like cherries and not worry about it.

You would need to eat 1 cup of the stuff just to reach your carb limit on a Keto diet, which is low if you compare it to other carbohydrates like whole grains.

Controlling insulin is key when it comes to losing weight and good health and adding in cherries ensures that you are as safe as can be with that food group.

Eat and be healthy.
