Micronutrients: What’s in Your Keto Diet?

Nutrients in the Keto Diet

Micronutrients, your vitamins, fat soluble vitamins, minerals, and water, are the nutrients our bodies need in smaller amounts compared to those of macronutrients—your carbs, proteins, and fats. We get our doses of both mostly through our diets. But what happens when your diet changes or you’re taking on more strict eating habits, like not eating as many fruits and carbs when you’re on a keto diet? Here are just a few examples of micronutrients you’re still getting from keto-friendly foods.

• Vitamin A - Cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, bok choy, cabbage
• Vitamin B Complex - Red meats, fish, dairy, nuts
• Vitamin C - Citrus, bell peppers, brussel sprouts, spinach
• Vitamin D - Salmon, cheese, egg yolks
• Vitamin E - Nuts, legumes, seeds
• Vitamin K - Cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, bok choy, cabbage

Minerals

• Chloride - Salt
• Chromium - Green beans, broccoli
• Copper - Fish
• Fluoride - Water
