Hi, I just want to make sure I don’t eat something that is not on keto list. Is Momordica charantia or bitter melon on the allowed list?
Bitter melon?

Hi Anh
I want you to answer this question. Does it fit with your carb intake for the day. You’re allowed 20 grams. Do what do you think?

It’s workable. My concern would be about any saucing or sweetening people might use with it.

Yes since I won’t be consuming one whole but only 3/4 with 1 tomato. I am staying under 20 grams.

So you will have 3/4 of a cup with one whole tomato? Do I understand that correctly?

Now that is different. The calories and carb count you posted is for 1 cup of bitter melon. You would need to measure out 3/4 of a melon, possibly 2 cups , not sure how big your melon is. Its quite possible it could come up to 3 cups. If so you would need to count the carb info by how many cups you use. It gets easier.
