so i have a question what would be healthier or  more keto friendly coconut flour or almond flour  

i think this is going to surprise you because if  we compare both of them and we’re going to compare  

one cup of each it’s actually quite interesting  let me just kind of go through it so when we talk  

about calories with coconut flour we have about  551 calories versus 648 calories for almond flour  

so basically 100 more calories why  would that be because of the fats  

see coconut flour 1 cup only has 21.8 grams of  fat yet almond flour has 56 grams of fat so that’s  

actually good if you’re on the ketogenic diet now  check this out carbs 65.3 grams with coconut flour  

almond flour only 24 grams okay that’s significant  there’s a little more fiber in almond flour  

because coconut flour has 11 grams and almond  has 14. so that brings the net carbs even down  

even further so and this is the most significant  factor coconut flour has 54.3 grams of net carbs  

i mean that’s huge that’s just one cup  whereas almond flour only has 10 grams  

so that’s less than like 1/4 the carbs significant  this is also significant out of those carbs we  

have 19 grams of those carbs being sugar for  coconut flour and only 5 grams for almond flour  

significant so protein for coconut flour is 32.2  grams and the protein for almond flour is 24 grams  

so there’s less protein there’s more fat there’s a  lot less carbs now with coconut flour there’s only  

trace amounts of nutrients okay but almond  flour has a good amount of vitamin e magnesium  

calcium copper manganese now with  coconut flour we do have more mcts but  

and that’s going to help you generate more  ketones but it’s so much higher in carbohydrates  

that’s going to block your own body’s ability  to generate ketones to a certain amount  

now as far as taste goes coconut flour is pretty  bland it’s pretty generic the texture is pretty  

crumbly and dry because it pulls a lot of moisture  but it is easier to consume more almond flour  

products especially if these these little keto  bombs which i definitely consume quite a few all  

right coconut flour is less expensive but almond  flour i mean it’s not that much more expensive  

now as far as the last point oxalates there is  more oxalates in almond flour than coconut flour  

so if you’re susceptible to kidney stones you  don’t want to overdo it all right there you  

have it i think if we compare these two almond  flour is the winner hey before you go real quick  

i have a course entitled how to bulletproof your  immune system it’s a free course i want you to  

take it and here’s why here’s you here is your  environment everyone is focused on this over here
