We’re taking a look at the macros of some popular shellfish. Shellfish are perfect for the keto diet. Often high in protein and low in carbs, if you like seafood, you’re in luck.

We’re checking out 6 of the most popular shellfish species. We have two categories, crustaceans and mollusks. Crustaceans being the shrimp, lobster, and crab, while the mollusks include scallops, clams, and mussels. You’ll notice the mollusks have more carbs. This primarily comes from starch.
